I like to switch up the type of arepa that I get and this time decided on the orange Cuban, which came with rice and sweet plantains. I almost wanted to lick my plate. It was so delicious!! Their tacos are pretty popular too, and some of the arepas are big enough to split. There are a couple of tables inside, but I know most people opt for a takeout.

Great sizes and we shared. We both got the arepas and needed to bring home because the serving was really big and got to enjoy it again the next day.

I was pleasantly surprised that this spot was open after 10pm on a Monday, as so many places are…read moreclosed on Mondays in general. It was super loud and I have only been to the previous establishment that used to be here, so I wasn't sure what to expect. If you're looking for a bar with some music on a week night, this is your spot. My best friend from Brooklyn was visiting for an event. She found them online and I was like oh I know that spot but it was a different name. She is gluten free. Fun fact: all the menu items are gluten free! The owner was really nice. I was only going to get the yucca fries but my bestie convinced me to get the mushroom tacos. She got the wings and chicken arepas (forgot to get pics) Everything was delicious and our food came out quickly! I'll be back!

I love Colombian food, so I came in with high expectations, but most of the dishes missed the mark for me. The atmosphere was also disappointing. There was a game on, but the music was so loud that it was difficult to hear anything else. On top of that, the rice tasted dry and seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. The service was okay, but not great. One thing that stood out was that another table that arrived after us received their waters before we did, which was frustrating. Overall, between the high prices, underwhelming food, and mixed service experience, I don't think I'd return.
