Went in for a few empanadas and they didn't have as many as I wanted. Asked me to wait 10 mins. to complete my order but took twice as long. Their empanadas have definitely been put on an inflationary diet (in order to keep their price low, I suppose). They were pretty good as they had freshly come out the frier. They do NOT provide you with plastic shopping bags any more... sort of a bad thing when you are taking a bunch of oily empanadas to go.

Solid place for Colombian food - I would recommend the steak over the empanadas…read more We ordered the Entrana, which comes with skirt steak, chimichurri, and 2 sides - I chose the coconut rice and plantains. The steak was cooked well though the chimichurri was a bit too oily for my liking. The rice and plantains were delicious. The empanada sampler was a cool concept, but I just wasn't a fan of how fried and thick the empanada casing was. But overall the environment is nice and the service is kind.

I've seen a few reviews criticizing their prices but compared to what I'd get in AZ (where I live) there is definitely value here. I don't speak Spanish so I just point to what I want because I can't read the menu. The employees are friendly and helpful. I've had the salmon two times and also got a piece of strawberry cake which was delish. The cheesecake looks really good. Highly recommended for an authentic, local experience.

Unfortunately, the food for me did not match its popularity. The Bandeja Paisa here was disappointing. While the portion size was large, everything on the plate was bland - the beef, the chicharron and even the beans. There was not enough seasoning on any of these. They did not taste bad, but just did not have enough flavor. This place is not cheap either. For example, their Bandeja Paisa is $32, while I have had equally large and much better tasting ones for $22.

It's been a many moons since I had a proper "Reina Pepia'" and I certainly don't remember it the way they serve it at Arepas Burger. Their is not bad... but, I'd like the chicken in it to have more presence. Their tequeños are alright (obviously, they'd be a infinitely better when they are piping hot), their Chicha was definitely a delightful treat... but, not at $9/cup. The burgers are good, but, $16 (just a burger, not a meal) is getting close to midtown prices. Their food is definitely pretty good and the prices are lower at the store, but, we will definitely not be ordering again any time soon (maybe for pick up if we happen to be in their neck of the woods).

If you were to say I only came around this particular spot because of the current events going on…read morein Venezuela, you might be right. I've visited many Latin American restaurants but I don't think I've checked the box next to Venezuela so this would be a first time entry for me. Going inside the area, it's relatively small but since I was the only customer at the time, it was spacious. The waitress Paula was a sweetheart and served me well as I was figuring what to take on in this restaurant. I went for the standard Arepa Burger, fries and for dessert, I did want the brownie with ice cream but they didn't have that available so I settled for churros with nutella. The wait wasn't too long, very much short of 8 minutes when everything was set. The Arepa burger came loaded with Shredded beef & Chicken, black beans, Shredded white cheese & maduros. For what it's worth, you'll get your fill from this makeshift burger, it was so filling. The fries were done with excellent detail, firm crisp texture along with taste and goes pretty well with the Ketchup & Mayo mixture the place had with one of their condiment bottles. When it came time to take on the churros, I immediately got thrown off because they're not the churros I'm normally used to. Instead what was smothered with the nutella happened to be cheese sticks and at first I thought it was a mistake but seeing pictures on here, that's basically what it is. I do love cheese sticks and I do love nutella, but in my opinion they're not meant to be combined so I had to forgo it. Everything else was top notch. The food was very decent and the service was proper so everything I got was $23 and I threw in a $7 tip to round it off to $30 total for the meal. They got many different variants of Arepa sandwiches so there is certainly revisit value in this place and I can go for that.
