About us

Venezuelan and Caribbean Flavors, Made with Love

What started as a shared love for family recipes grew into something so much bigger, a dream brought to life by a mamá and her daughter. Two women, side by side, honoring their Latin heritage while carving their own path, brought the heart of their home with them to Wildwood. We created a space where our food tells the story about us, our bond, our journey, and the strength it takes to build something together.

Papelon is more than a restaurant. It's a reflection of where we come from, Venezuelan and Puerto Rican roots, traditions passed down through generations, and the savory notes we grew up loving, made our way, with love, for you. This is our story of resilience, culture, and the power of family, and now, we're sharing it with you.
