But the server was so patient with me and guided me through. I just wanted eggs and potatoes and chorizo. With her help, I didn't get potatoes but I go beans. I didn't know I was getting rice with my breakfast but even that was cooked perfectly and I ate it with my beans. The salsa was so fresh and spicy, took the rest home! The salad was great and the dressing a nice accompany, but I didnt even need it. I was so happy guys. So happy seeing all this food in front of me and having it be sooooo good. I never eat at places like this, as I am from California and I have pretty high expectations. But I'm so glad I saw their reviews and gave it a shot. Happiness. Neighborhood gem! Great Service, Great Coffee, Great Food! Thank you

Crispy Pork Belly: I'm not a keto guy, but I totally love this kinda keto food. Thick chunks of pork belly fried crispy. Livened up with the salsa on the side.

The place looked fancy, but this lunch special was comfortingly humble. Really hit the spot. Tres Leches: A perfect way to indulge after the meal. So moist and creamy!

If you're an early bird, the happy hour drink deals are offered table side, which is awesome. Cocktails were on point. We started off with very good guacamole and chips. Chips were refreshed happily. The assorted empanadas were excellent, with crisp shells and savory contents. 3 of our party ordered the tiger prawns, which they liked a lot. I ordered the Lompoc saltado, which was pretty good. This nice neighborhood place is a good change of pace serving a less common cuisine.

Colombian food truck in Midtown. I had a Colombian queso empanada and it was good. Also had the…read morechicharron y queso arepa and the chicharron tasted fresh without the gamey aftertaste you sometimes get with pork. Just pure savory flavor. Also had their homemade maracuya juice and it was the highlight of this visit. I'm so glad I tried it. It's not like many places where the drink is super sugary. The drink has a good amount of maracuya, you can taste the sourness, the slight sweetness and the flavors come out really well. This drink had little to no sugar. The taste of the real fruit is exactly the same as this drink. They also have more homemade juice here in either mora, mango, or limonada de panela. I'm going to have to go back to try their other juice drinks. There is a small standing area where you can rest your food and eat right away if needed. They also have Colombian candy. Food truck is colorful, so it's easy to spot. Service was good. Glad I had lunch here. It was also a lot of food, I couldn't finish it all.

(This replaces a review I posted mistakenly for an Arepa Express in New Jersey yesterday.)…read more Deli Arepa Express, a Colombian food truck parked on 46th St. near Fifth Ave. (a.k.a Little Brazil) on weekdays, is popular among both Colombianos and non-paisas -- and it's not hard to see why. The food is fabulous! Pros: - Colombian style arepas (very different from Venezuelan arepas) can be ordered with either sweet corn or white corn masa, which came beautifully griddled and generously filled in my case with stretchy white queso. - Colombian empanadas, a personal favorite, are made with corn masa, beautifully fried to a crisp (but remarkably not at all greasy) and probably gluten free. The beef and potato filling we chose was moist and very nicely seasoned. - Papas rellenas were crisp on the outside, creamy on the inside, and came filled with tender, juicy, well seasoned shredded chicken and hardboiled egg. - The truck sets up tables and chairs in the somewhat sheltered area on the road between Deli Arepa Express and the next food truck down, for those who want to dig in immediately. It's surprisingly nice for literally on-the-street dining. - The business accepts credit cards and staff are very patient and kind. Cons: - Be prepared to wait. And wait. And wait. I killed some time by walking a few doors down to Pavé, standing in the long line of folks there, and picking up a baguette for my family. (The bread there is excellent.) When I returned to the truck, my food was not yet ready, so I killed some more time by popping into the dollar store like place across from the truck, browsing the surprisingly comprehensive selection of spices, and picking up some annatto / achiote, which we've been using in homemade sazón. My food was still not ready despite the fact that 2/3 of the items ordered (the empanadas and papas rellenas) were pre-prepared and sitting in the hot case. Luckily it was a nice day to queue and I enjoyed talking to other customers in line, almost all of Latine, if not Colombian, descent. - I almost never check my to-go bags, but thankfully did this time after walking about a block, since the bag felt suspiciously light. My order was missing two items. The folks at the truck remedied the issue, but caveat emptor here. It seems that the food can come with a generous sprinkle of chaos! Am I coming back? Absolutely -- but maybe at an off hour next time.

I was walking midtown and a guy hands me a card anouncing  'Deli Arepa Express'  so I think why…read morenot.  I expected a Deli store and I see a big food cart instead.   They sell Arepa sandwishes , Empanadas, hot dogs, coffee and small bite size breads along with other items.   I saw Chicharron, on the menu only it's in a Arepa with Queso,  a combo I never had, but I guess it's time for something new even if in the past I found Arepa to be dull and plain for me.   Well they added avocado and onions to my Arepa with special mayo saurce and I got a Manzana (Apple) soda too.   The Chicharron Y Queso Arepa Was very testy and the the Aprea was made with sweet Maza and grilled, so it was not dull at all. The only drawback was the  Chicharron was on the dry side and so more chewy but it still had the fried pork belly taste anyway, maybe next time I go for the Chorizo.

My favorite is the Hawaiian burger with French fries. The service is amazing, people are kind and helpful. I ordered for pick up and the order was ready in less than 10minutes. The only bad part is the parking. Depending on the day of the week it can be really hard to find parking but the place is very nice inside if you want to eat there.
