We took our college soccer team (22 players) here to grab food for on the bus trip. We called ahead, and they were more than accommodating. The food was amazing and affordable. Many guys also got to try something new. The service was fast, super friendly, and efficient. Couldn’t ask for a better experience for the team, and happy to avoid the chains to support a local small business.

Food was good. I would definitely recommend a platter. Empanadas were great flavor but a little oily. Would definitely go back.

My experience here was incredible! I had never been so I asked for a recommendation and she recommended the arepa with plantains and beans and beef with green sauce… WOW. Absolutely delicious. I really wanted to order another one but I was mostly full so I got a churro for dessert. Perfectly fried with salted Carmel filling and a side of warm chocolate sauce. I will 100% be back. Please give this place your business!!

This place was really cute and satisfied my craving for arepas. I was hoping my daughter would like it but they served her unripe avocado and then she refused to eat any of it. The staff were really nice and substituted some tomato when I brought it to their attention. Overall good food but my picky eater struggled (even though she likes beans).

So good! I grew up eating arepas from my best friends mom, its never gonna be the same as at home, but its definitely just as good. Good portion, very filling for just one arepa. Spent 10 bucks on just one, but there's others for 8/9 bucks. About a 10-15 minute wait for my food, so definitely order ahead if you're working and you've got a short lunch break
