Food was amazing! Although they are quite small and pricey (~$16 for each arepa) they are stuffed to the brim with meat. They are quite filling since they are so stuffed so it is definitely worth the price. The soursop water was amazing and the ambience was great! Would definitely recommend and come back!

TERRIBLE SERVICE, THEY ARE NOT KIND, NOR ATTENTIVE, THEY TAKE A LONG TIME TO ATTEND. LATINOS ARE DISTINGUISHED FOR BEING ATTENTIVE AND KIND, BUT HERE THEY ARE NOT, ALSO THE BATHROOMS ARE SUPER DIRTY.

Food is ok, but extremely expensive, arepas are very cheap to cook for such a high price. Totally overpriced.The food is decent but excessively expensive. They want to become millionaires with something as simple as an arepa. We all know the cost of an arepa and making such a high profit on it is a robbery.

We went to eat 3 (three) people in total and the bill reflected 18% of gratitude, whenever I go to restaurants I give and encourage others to leave a tip because I know that's what the waiters live off of, but why force in the bill to leave 18% gratitude?I have the invoice as evidence.

I placed an order online and received a BURNT cachapa, I didn't go to return it because it was already far away. There is no one who will eat that, for how expensive it is, it is not worth it.
