The food itself is very much worth it, the Arepa is as beautifully cooked nice and crispy on the outside and the flavors were nicely balanced. The garlic and picante sauce paired perfectly.

My first time trying Arepa and I'm a fan now…read more The bread is very unique, kind of reminds me of an english muffin but made out of corn. I had the Pabellon Arepa and even though I don't like sweet in my food I think the plantains went very well with the rest of the ingredients in the sandwich. Overall, it was very enjoyable. Also came with two dips which is always a plus. I do think the price is a little too hefty for what it is though. For that reason, I am not sure how often I'd go back, but I'm glad I tried and I think so should you.

The Arepa Stand is a different but delicious take on arepas. Arepas are both Colombian and…read moreVenezuelan. Dating back thousands of years to indigenous populations, they were made long before modern borders existed. Both countries claim the arepa as a national staple, but they prepare and eat them differently. Here the corn masa sandwich is filled with various interesting ingredients. I ordered the Classic Combo which was a main arepa, the The Red Queen- Shredded chicken, pickled red onions, avocado sauce, dutch cheese and cilantro. The Classic Combo offers Your choice of arepa + drink + fried plantains. The arepa arrived huge and packed making it a bit messy to eat but that is not a big problem. The Plaintain were delicious. This combo was very filling and satisfying. For street like food the price was a bit high but the flavors were very tasty.

Oh and can't forget my fave the pikliz!!! I haven't been to Haiti, but the owners are from there and brought their unique spices and flavors to Los Angeles.

I got an oxtail plate, with djon djon & bannan peze. It also came with a little bit of salade russe (Haitian potato salad), pikliz, and sauce. The diri djon djon was so flavorful, definitely my favorite thing on the plate. The oxtail was seasoned well and pretty tender. The pikliz was good, pretty mild so I could enjoy it all. I tried some griot and thought it could have marinated longer. The portions felt very huge. The service here is really friendly and accommodating. The food came put after not too long of a wait and it was hot. The space is cool. It looks like an old diner. There's konpa playing in the background and games like Uno & Dominos available if you want to play. We also got two Haitian beef patties to go. They're legit! Came with pikliz and another sauce I never had before, it was green with a bit of spice and tang. The main downside is the location. It was fine in the daytime, but at night I wouldn't want to be alone as a woman here. That's just me though. Parking is metered on the street ($6/hr)

We went with the cheese bread and the mixed plate. You could have fed 4 grown men. This is where you appreciate true to ethnicity food. No messing...no pretending and no nonsense. I don't think I could have bought the ingredients, seasoned and cooked this for any less than what we paid. The table next to us ordered the fried fish...as full as I was...I wanted to taste that fish. La Finda Antioquena, thank you for a great experience. We will recommend this place and WE WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

The woman (Sandra) who came up to our table was to ask us to move to a smaller table. Mind you we sat there so we could watch the World Cup game as we waited and ate. She was so rude about it!!! Then the waiter to finally came to take our order was also rude. Didn't greet us, they lack manners. I liked one of the empanadas but they have a different name, other than that their food was bland tasteless. I came here with a Colombian friend who wanted to try Colombian food in LA she liked her plate but it was the most simple thing you could order, steak rice and beans. Would never go back here ever... oh also the place was filthy they should keep their tables and floors clean come on.
