Our Story
A Taste of Home
At Riquikito, every dish carries the warmth and soul of Venezuela. We handcraft our arepas from scratch, fill our cachapas with fresh handmade cheese, and slow-cook our shredded beef until it melts on the tongue. Located on Mount Pleasant Street in the heart of Charleston, we bring the bold, vibrant flavors of Venezuelan street food to the Lowcountry - made with love, served with pride. Come hungry, leave happy.

What Charleston Says
Ordered this on a whim when I saw a picture of the chicken pepiada- good grief everything is amazing. I got the beef bowl and it came with two small fried plantains that were some of the best I've ever had. The tostones were perfectly crunchy. The green sauce is tangy and delicious. Their rice is sticky and soft. Their pico is perfect. The servings were large, and the avocado was green and soft but firm. Will be ordering again and again!
