The wife and I were slow on the uptake when it comes to arepas. We're still newbies; at this point…read morewe've tried them from just five or six purveyors here and there. Hell, we're still sussing out the Colombian vs. Venezuelan arepa rivalry. But the arepa pabellon at Arrechissimo (this apparently means "awesome" in Venezuelan Spanish) wins the prize for us so far, and it's not even close. Even if it initially seems expensive at $13.50, it is a near-miraculous little food item, regardless of one's knowledge about arepas generally. It's perfect in its simplicity and greater than the sum of its parts: Wonderful white-corn flatbread style rolls with a great balance of fluffy and crisp, flavorful shredded beef, fried plantains, black beans, and melted mild cheese. Add the spicy cilantro salsa, which is just about perfect in its own right. By the way, despite its compact size, the arepa pabellon is plenty filling. Arrechissimo is just a food stand with maybe four outdoor tables. The setting in quiet Deer Park is pleasant and comfortable enough, when the weather is reasonably nice. Unfortunately for us, Arrechissimo is far enough away that carryout is not a suitable option during those too-many months when Cincinnati weather is not so nice. Owner Javier is about as welcoming and friendly a host as there is in the metro.

Decided to try out this restaurant today with my friend who suggested it. Let me just say right…read moreoff the bat, that there is NO indoor seating. I'm assuming most people do pick-ups. We didn't realize that when we decided to go. However, they do have 3 or 4 outdoor tables. Right beside the tables are very sturdy extendable umbrellas that they can open to shade you whenever you want. Their food is handmade, fresh and delicious. Got a vegetarian bowl with rice, beans, plantains, lettuce, and avocado slices accompanied by 2 small arepas. The arepas and empanadas seemed to be made from the same dough and it's a good thing because it is extremely mouth-watering - yum! Kudos to the owner. He is the nicest man - friendly, and really cares about his customers.

I ordered the chipotle chicken taco, salmon teriyaki taco, and the crispy fried fish taco, and all three were delicious. The flavors were unique and really well balanced. The salmon teriyaki taco was a standout for me; something a little different from your typical taco but it worked so well. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

If you're into tacos, you definitely have to check this spot out. I tried six different tacos and…read moreevery one of them was solid. The bulgogi taco was probably my favorite. It honestly reminded me of authentic Korean bulgogi, super flavorful and cooked perfectly. I also had the fish taco, salmon taco, and one of their steak tacos, and across the board the meat and fish were really tender and well seasoned. Nothing was dry and everything had great flavor. I also ordered the drunken brisket burrito, and that thing is huge. I'm not even exaggerating when I say it could easily feed two people, maybe even three. The portion sizes here are seriously generous. I tried their wings too and those were amazing. The mix of seasonings and flavors they use really stands out. Overall everything was flavorful, the portions are big, and it's definitely one of those spots you tell your friends about like "yo, we gotta go back there."

Overall, I'd come back AGAIN. The food still is great and the ambiance of the place feels like good.

Our waitress was phenomenal--her recommendations were spot-on. The shrimp ceviche, Secreto de Ibérico, and tostones with guacamole were top recommendations.

For dessert, the pastel de almendras was incredible--light and reminiscent of a tiramisu-style cake. A delicious ending to a wonderful meal!

The parking lot is a little small (pro tip: go around the round about to get to the actual entrance to the lot, the other entrance is blocked off), but it is totally worth the effort.

Light, soft and completely delicious, the accompanying cabbage and carrot slaw was acidic and bright. Definitely delicious and the prices are super cheap. The salsas are very authentic, the green one being my favorite. I can't wait to bring people back here. The decor is simple and very clean, and there is a takeout area as well as some seating. The service was very fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back!
