This casual Tampa cafe serves classic Venezuelan and Lebanese fare such as falafel and arepas. It's a great quick stop if you find yourself in the vicinity craving something that is both affordable and delicious. Lots of healthy veggie loaded options and the service is quick, so you can get in an out pretty quick in between shopping.
The menu consists of a variety of Venezuelan arepas, plus pitas, cachapas, and empanadas. The Hummus Plate special is an affordable and healthy choice. This affordable entrée includes hummus, chips, cucumber salad, and falafel, so it is quite filling.
The pitas are also delicious and you can customize with your own protein, toppings, and sauces.
Also they offer a nice variety of empanadas including Guava and Cheese, Chicken, Cheese, and Fish.
Being a vegetarian for over 30 years, I appreciated the many healthy options.
At this cafe, you order at the counter and customize your meal. The little service provided was friendly. It's a great pick when you want to enjoy a quick work day lunch or meal in between errands.
The seating area is clean and modern. No frills, just a simple clean interior.
Are-Pitas is a nice choice for anyone seeking an affordable local quick serve establishment for lunch. If you are heading out to Busch Gardens, Zoo Tampa, or any other nearby attractions, give this place a try for a healthy, quick, and affordable lunch.
