    Had the most delicious dinner at Mordisco last night! The Pabellon Bowl with chicken was excellent! I especially loved the green sauce and the plantains! The owner and his wife were so friendly and the food came out quickly!

    Fresh, delicious food with fast and friendly service. What can you really ask for? We went to Olentangy River Brewing Company for coffee and saw that they had a food truck front of their place. We ordered the breakfast burrito and chicken quesadilla. Both of the items were delicious, and they were generous with the filling. The portion size is a good size to share or if you are hungry, you can have all to yourself. No judgement here, that food is really that good to have it all by yourself. They give you a buzzer which you can take into the Olentangy River Brewing while you wait. Definitely will be back to try out other food items.

    Mordisco is a Venezuelan food truck that can usually be found serving up delicious breakfast and lunch fare in front of the Olentangy River Brewing Company most days of the week. On our last trip to ORBC, we ordered the breakfast chicken burrito and the breakfast quesadilla. Both of the items came with sour cream, Pico de Gallo, and a couple of salsas. The portion size of both the items were huge, and the fillings were generous. The gentleman taking our order was extremely nice and helpful. I look forward to coming back here and checking out their lunch menu.

    Caught this truck at the Olentangy Brewing Co after a hike at Highbanks and never knew I needed Chicken Arepas in my life!! Delicious and you get a lot of food! Plus, what a great name!

    They are located outside of Roosevelt coffeehouse near Lewis center. There were limited vegetarian options and no vegetarian arepa but I requested if they could do a cheese and bean arepa and they said YES :) That made me super happy, it was tiny but filling for lunch! My partner ordered the carne asada arepa and gave it a 4/5 as well. They give you a very nice bag with utensils and napkins as well which was in terms of quality above and beyond for a food truck!! I LOVE arepas and liked the orange sauce more than the cilantro one!! Will definitely be trying again if I come back and am going to try their sister location as well.

    A great burrito at the Olentangy River Brewery event. Food - a great burrito for breakfast. Many of the other customers really liked their other items (vegan bowls, empanadas, etc) Service - this truck gives you a buzzer and will let you know when your food is done. The service was so good, they delivered it to me and then returned with napkins. Ambiance - I was at a brewery/coffee house so 5 stars. Now I bet you are wondering - was I drinking coffee or beer?. Let's keep that a secret

    Oh happy day, it's the Mordisco truck!

    I'm so happy to review this amazing Venezuelan food truck and even happier that it's parked here in Lewis Center at Olentangy Brewing Co. How lucky are we! I've been in love with Venezuelan cuisine since the Porch first opened up in Lewis Center. I was devastated when they closed - but the food gods have smiled on us again with Mordisco. If you love fresh, wholesome Latin American food cooked with love, and dipping sauces that would make the angels cry, then you've come to the right place. I had the Tempequenos which are like a fried cheese/bread appetizer - look, I don't even know. They're the most delicious thing in the world. Try the cilantro dipping sauce, then try the orange (red bell pepper plus some spice?) one, then try them both together. Heaven! Then I had the chicken and rice bowl. It had fresh avocado, black beans, more angelic dipping sauces - I was soooo full and happy. I will be back very soon. This place is a treasure! And you can take it to go, or go eat at the brewing co. Cute patio, plenty of seats and tables inside or out.

    I LOVE Mordisco and will continue to sing it's praises. The Full Equipo Arepa is amazing- full of fresh and delicious ingredients, including amazing plantains. Besides the food, the owners and workers and so kind and enjoyable. Wish I knew about this place sooner!!

The restaurant is bright, welcoming and very clean We were seated in a side room with the bar, a large projection TV screen with the volume on MAXIMUM and two smaller TVs advertising menu items. Those TVs featured some seriously delicious looking items! Service was ok. Drink refills were not offered and I needed one. We both ordered lunch specials advertised for $10.99 but billed at $11.99. Hubs ordered the lunch chicken bowl with rice, black beans, grilled chicken and corn. The corn was served refrigerator cold. The rest of the meal was hot. Overall the food lacked seasoning. I started with a cheese empanada. Expertly made and fried with goody cheese inside. The empanada was served with a dmall side of green sauce that I thought was cilantro based. I ordered the lunch Pabellon Bowl with pork, white rice, black beans and a sweet plaintain Everything on my plate was served hot but also without seasoning making it bland. I used the empanada sauce to add some flavor to the pork and rice. In summary, I wanted to love this restaurant the advrtised images on 2 TVs are gorgeous but the food was bland. The projection TV volume made conversation difficult and service could have been more attentive. This was our first expusure to Venezuelan food and probably our last. I still stand by the fantastic empanada. I would return for that alone.

This is definitely on the latter end of the spectrum. I popped in here tonight for a late dinner (830ish on a Saturday) to find the place relatively busy but with plenty of open seats. The decor was a nice mix of dark and light with the bright green accents plus a big screen TV cycling tropical getaways (I assume from places in Latin America). I was seated and tended to quickly by a hostess and server, respectively. I got my order in for a coconut mojito and a chicharron arepa right away. My mojito came shortly thereafter with my arepa not long after that. The mojito, as you can see, was garnished with a generous amount of shredded coconut on top and was heavier and creamier than a normal mojito, lighter on the mint flavor and pushing closer to a piña colada than a mojito. All in all though, still quite a refreshing drink after a hot and humid day. The arepa though was really the star of the show. The flavors and textures and everything about it were just mind-blowing. The handmade cheese, the incredibly seasoned and cooked pork, and the crispy arepa were all just *BOOM*. The avocado had a little bit of surface darkness on the one end that could have been polished up a little bit but not the end of the world. One I finished with these, I waited patiently for a while for my server to come back but alas I had to pop up to the bar to get my caipirinha. This version was slightly sweeter than some versions I've had and I don't mind sweet, but just be aware for those who may be considering it. Eventually, my server came back and apologized for being gone so long as she was conversing with her boss. Like I said... grain of salt. Aside from a minor inconvenience of having to walk 10 feet to the bar myself, this place absolutely blew me away and I will absolutely come back if I ever find myself in town again. Bonus points for having gluten and allergen callouts on their normal menu as well!

The Cuban sandwich was not very good. The pork was tough and hard to eat. We also think the cheese used on the sandwich was a slice of processed yellow American cheese. Seemed unusual, tasted a bit strange on a Cuban, and it didn't add anything to the sandwich. We've had much better Cuban sandwiches. I definitely wouldn't order this again. However, the fries that came with the Cuban were very good. The quesadilla was better. It was large and stuffed with tasty chicken and cheese. It was browned and crisped just right. I didn't care for the glaucoma which came with the dish. The color and the consistency led me to believe that it was store-bought. It was so thin and almost runny. I was expecting thick, homemade guacamole to be served in a Latin restaurant; disappointing for sure. Overall, the quesadilla was good and I would consider ordering it again. The servers were very friendly. The restaurant was clean. The waits were a bit too long in our opinion...we waited to get our drinks, waited to order, waited for the food.......you probably get the point! It was a 45 minute wait from ordering our food to being served the food. Too long in my opinion. Next time we're in Urbana we will look for something else.

So it was some surprise to try bandeja paisa (traditional huge platter of various Colombian foods) and find it the best anywhere, including in Colombia. 25 years later and that still holds true. I have yet to find arepitas as exquisite of those of Carolina and Carlos, and they remain my standard (I think they are Venezolano, but does it matter? They are delicious and they are the best I've had). The cilantro salsa is unique and really adds to a lot of the foods they offer. My spouse is all about the maracuyá juice, and their options are worth sampling since its not usual for most Americans. For me it is comfort food not only as a Colombian-American, but as a (former) long-time resident of Columbus who at times craves reminders of the past. I've been to Pearl through its incarnations, then Gahanna, and now this Brewery District location. This one is my favorite of the three, with nice space and a great Latin atmosphere. We were there recently on a Saturday and had top-notch service, and even a visit from Carlos to reminisce about old times. El Arepazo is a Columbus institution. If you are curious about Latino food, and Colombian/Venezuelan cuisine in particular, it is THE place to start. Columbus is lucky to have a restaurant like this that beats out anything in Queens, Elizabeth NJ, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, and would give places from Bogotá to Caracas a run for its money. It's legit, its delicious, it is attractively priced, the location is great, the staff is warm and friendly. 10/10. Stop reading and go eat there!

On Saturday, August 8th, I took a friend to breakfast at First Watch, across the street from Arepazo. I parked in a legal parking space in front of Arepazo at approximately 10:30 AM and left around 12:30 PM. Later that day, I discovered that the front passenger door of my Jeep Grand Cherokee had been badly dented. At first, it looked as though someone had purposely kicked it. I retraced everywhere I had been that day in an attempt to determine exactly what happened. After reviewing my home security camera footage, I was able to narrow down when the damage occurred. The footage clearly showed that when I backed out of my garage to go to breakfast that morning, my passenger door was undamaged. When I returned home after breakfast, the damage was clearly visible. A few days later, after Arepazo reopened following Sunday, I called the restaurant and spoke directly with Carlos. I explained what had happened and told him that I had noticed security cameras on the restaurant that appeared to be pointed toward the area where my Jeep had been parked. Carlos confirmed that the cameras were working, although he told me the resolution probably would not be good enough to identify someone's face. I explained that I wasn't concerned about identifying a face--I simply wanted to know what happened to my vehicle. Carlos assured me that he would help me figure out what happened and promised to get back to me. It has now been two weeks. My insurance estimator has since inspected the Jeep and determined that the damage is consistent with someone's body having been slammed into the passenger door. The estimated repair cost is approximately $3,300. Despite Carlos telling me he would help, I have not heard from him. I have called several times and left messages with multiple staff members, including his manager, Brent. On Tuesday, August 18th, at approximately 6:30 PM, I finally went to Arepazo in person. I spoke with several employees, including Brent. Brent went into the back to call Carlos. After approximately 15 minutes, he returned and told me that he had just spoken with Carlos and assured me that Carlos would contact me. He still has not. Is this a review of the food at Arepazo Tapas Bar and Grille? No. Is it a review of the restaurant's service? Not exactly. But I do believe it says something about how the owner treats people. I wasn't asking Carlos to pay for the damage. I wasn't accusing Arepazo or any of its employees of causing it. I was simply asking him to follow through on his promise to check security footage that might show what happened to my vehicle while it was parked directly in front of his restaurant. I even told Carlos and Brent that I would gladly come back and eat at Arepazo if they would simply help me with the security footage. Apparently, after two weeks, several phone calls, multiple messages, an in-person visit, and two separate assurances that Carlos would contact me, getting back to me isn't a priority. That's disappointing. Sometimes how a business owner treats someone when there is absolutely nothing in it for him says more about the business than the food ever could. I guess Arepazo has enough business that Carlos doesn't need mine--or that of the friends and family I might otherwise have recommended to his restaurant.

Parking can be crazy of course. The bathroom is way back down along hallway, but it's there. I will definitely be back to try some of the other things on the menu.

    First time trying Argentinian food and Barroluco did not disappoint!…read more This place is located in between an alleyway. It's a cute little small restaurant, very intimate. We order our food and pay at the register. They give you a number and the server comes and brings out the food when it ready. I got the sampler which came with an empanada, rice, chicken, fries and a rib. The fries were cooked perfectly and had a nice crispiness to them. The meat on top tastes like a type of Italian sausage. The rib had a nice some taste, like as if it came right off the grill at a family bbq. My favorite part of the plate was the rice and chicken! It was so tasty. If you get spicy sauce just be prepared because it is spicy! But a delicious spicy.
