What Locals Say
We love coming to Arepas! As a vegetarian who is also gluten free I enjoy the vegetariana arepa as it's full of flavor and the house sauce is AMAZING! A new local gem that we love walking to on the weekends. Definitely recommend! The potato and cheese empanadas are also super warm and comforting.
Dominique YThe Cachapa is amazingly delicious! The Side Sweet Plantain is yummy, but the portion is extremely disappointing for the price. I ate one before takng the photo, so you can see ionly got 6 slices for $10.50!! The Arepa Pabellón is just okay. This was my first time having an arepa. It didnt impress me.
Julie KThe Reina pepiada is a classic! And theirs is honestly amazinggggg. Loved the chucks of avocado in it. So yummyyyy
