“ Excellent destination in Tampa for authentic Venezuelan cuisine and breakfast options, ideal for when you're in the mood for something delicious, Vanessa was great in customer service. ”
“ I just went for brunch with a friend who's from Venezuela and was excited to find food from her home country. It was my first time trying and everything was delicious! I had arepas pabellon which is beef, cheese, and sweet plantains. Hot and fresh! Very buttery. The soursop juice reminded me of the ones I ate in the Philippines. The quesito was flaky, crunchy, and sweet. My friend had me taste her corn pancakes and I've never had it before. It was so yummy and will definitely be back to get that next time. Had a fruit tart to go. There was parking and it wasn't so busy. The music was nice and so was the seating. ”

“ La cachapa y el pabellon were delicious. Great memories of our time in Venezuela. I need to come back in the morning for the cachitos. ”
“ The first time I tried Venezuelan cuisine, the maltin was too sweet for me, but I liked the Arepa Catira, with cheese and chicken. They have a spicy green sauce that goes with it really well. The service was great, The girl at the cashier was very helpful and explained about the food really well. ”
“ This place was super clean, the food was very fresh and authentic flavors which reminded me of my favorite food growing up. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. The prices are VERY affordable too which is rare in this economy Gracias a Panitas! ”
“ I've always driven past Panitas and wanted to try this place. We walked here for lunch after pickleball today. We were seated right away and given menus to order from, everything sounds delicious here, it was really hard for us to choose what we wanted to try. For our entrees, we tried their yucca fries and two Cachapa Pernil y Queso. We loved what we ordered, they were made fresh and so delicious. The cachapa is a corn pancake stuffed with cheese, onion, and pulled pork. It was sooo good. I've never had something like it. The yucca fries were delicious and came with two dipping sauces. Our friends tried two of their Arepas and loved them. We were eyeing their desserts the entire time we ate our lunch and knew we had to try some. We tried their Cuatro Leche cake which was recommended by our waitress, it was delicious. We also tried a dessert that was flan on top of cake, so good. The decor is simple, you can tell their priority is good food. It has ample seating and parking for customers. The food did take a little bit of time to come out but it was worth the wait. All the food here was so unique and flavorful. You can tell they really care about their food. The wait staff was super friendly, and everything was made to order and fresh. Panitas is a hidden gem and we WILL be back to try everything else on their menu. @living.with.reg ”
