My wife's arepas was very good. My beef soup was wholesome, but rather thin any spicing. Excellent cappuccino and friendly and efficient staff.

Absolutely wonderful service and great portions for the pricing. Tuesdays and Saturdays are special with live music and a DJ around 8 pm, respectively. Menu is very innovative!

Arepas were very delicious, friends recommended us and we were very satisfied with the food, but service needs to be improved.

The truth is, this is the second time I arrived at the restaurant. The first time we waited 20 minutes and then we didn't realize that they hadn't placed the order and we got the empanadas with literal ice. Yesterday, the arepas were cold, the homemade rice was in lumps. In truth, I am not very happy with the food because I have too many Venezuelan and Colombian friends who recommend it, but today I recommend it.

I had a birthday dinner here. They charged a lot for the food but I’ve been before and know it’s tasty. They left off all our main dishes and I asked where they were. They argued with me so I pulled up the catering agreement. Then they charged my two friends for sangria (which they paid for when it was served) BUT at the end of the night asked me to pay for their sangria too! So I paid an extra $150 bill after many of my friends left because of the wait for food. So much arguing with a restaurant. Avoid this place. They’re super disorganized and perhaps shady.

Food was ok. Service wasn't great. A friend planned and pre-paid for a birthday dinner and they didn't seem to know about it.

I had the fried vegetarian arepa and it was amazing + great portion. Sweet plantains, savory beans, tons of pico de gallo, and cheese + sauce to bind everything together. I definitely would come back :)

Have to admit, this place was in a mental blind spot for me until a friend recommended it. Turns out it's delightful! The place was totally empty on a Monday night, but the service was very friendly, the food was solid, the decor was lively, and the seating was comfortable. Looking forward to going back ?

Very bad service, the food was delayed, the appetizer is delivered along with the main course, the atmosphere is good, but the food is average, the chicken that goes as a filling in the arepa is tasteless and very

The food here is absolutely incredible. It never misses, it’s always fresh and delicious. My girlfriend and I love the arepas and have tried a lot of things the menu, but the one thing that stops us from coming more often we already do is the service. They cannot run this restaurant for anything. The waiters are slow paced, forget to ring things in, bring drinks that are made too bitter or too sweet (may or may not be their fault), and have this overall aura of “I don’t want to be here.” It’s incredibly disappointing. The turnover rate is incredibly high due to this. As a food service industry worker, my gf included, we talk all the time about how the only thing stopping this place from greatness is better, faster, on their toes servers. One day, maybe. But since they have opened it’s been this way. We’ll stick to ordering takeout so we don’t feel bad for the low tips…Vegetarian options: A lot of it is meat based, as most Latino restaurants are, but there are some options for veggies.
