Molarepa, Venezuelan restaurant in Centro, Zaragoza, Spain
Molarepa is a Venezuelan restaurant on Calle Santa Catalina in the center of Zaragoza. The menu centers on arepas, round cornmeal cakes filled with a range of ingredients, alongside cachapas, tequeños, and traditional Venezuelan drinks.
The restaurant opened in 2016, founded by Venezuelan immigrants who wanted to keep their home cooking alive in Spain. It was one of the first places in Zaragoza to focus specifically on Venezuelan arepas.
Molarepa brings Venezuelan cooking to central Zaragoza, with arepas, cachapas, and tequeños prepared in the traditional way. The owners are from Venezuela and cook using the same methods they grew up with, which comes through in every dish.
The restaurant sits on a busy street in the city center, so it is easiest to arrive on foot or by public transport. It is closed on Tuesdays, so it is worth checking before you go.
The menu features nachos made from thin banana strips instead of corn tortilla chips, a detail that surprises many first-time visitors. For dessert, the quesillo is a Venezuelan caramel pudding that differs slightly from the Spanish flan most people already know.
