Que Ricas

The arepas are fantastic. Legit a mouth watering sandwich that celiacs and non celiacs will devour. My personal favorite is the jawn empanada. Feel like it is a fantastic comfort food (cheesesteak in a deep fried corn empanada). Thank goodness I don’t live closer or I’d be 15-20 pounds heavier!

Great experience. Plantain fries, yuca fries, and the empanadas were super good. Empanadas were also okay. Got the churro chips for desert with chocolate sauce which were also great. Definitely recommend.

Just had a great dinner here last night! We had Arepas, Empanadas, Yucca Fries, and Tajadas (sweet plantains) and everything was fresh and delicious. The food is Venezuelan and the majority of the menu is naturally GF. There are only two or three things that aren’t GF (churros, tequenos, and the fried steak I think) but they will tell you what to steer clear of if you ask and they said they have dedicated fryers for the GF food. The website has the GF stuff clearly marked as well. This is my third time eating there and I haven’t had any issues!

The best in NJ. If you are a real coniseur of Latin food and demand fresh ingredients, go to Que Ricas. Tip handsomely, there is an older woman who cooks there and she deserves the best!

OMGGGGG SOOOO FREAKING GOOD. Made from scratch Venezuelan food. It doesn’t get better than that. Only a small looking family in the kitchen. They were able to talk to me about how to modify my order to be free of gluten. They were very aware and knowledgeable. Me and my boyfriend sat outside and just kept saying how unbelievably good the food was.

I bought 14 empanadas today and daughter and I got sick. Called the owner and she doesn’t believe me. I will never go back!

Celiac friendly?

No

Some of the best Venezuelan food I've ever eaten and almost everything on the menu is gluten free and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of great gluten free options ( dairy free/ vegan options too). And something unique in South Jersey with all of it's Italian and Aisian places.

Excellent Venezuelan food, most of which is designated on the menu as gluten free, including arepas, empanadas, and platters. Those things that are not gluten free are clearly marked. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The shredded beef and chicken are excellent and the arepas are crispy, tender, and flavorful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
