I felt like the servings were huge!!! Immediately walking in, I was greeted and sat down. My order was taken quickly too. It was a busy day but my food still came out within 10 minutes. And good thing too because I was starving. I got the pollo arepa and pollo empanada. Looovveee how soft the pollo empanada is... it's so dang fluffy. That was my first time having an empanada with that kind of dough. I have to say that I prefer it. Wish Filipinos used that dough when we make our empanadas. lol. The pollo arepa was everything!!! I had never had an arepa until the day I had one here. The meat was seasoned so nicely in their tomato based sauce. And the actual arepa... soft yet had a bit of a crunch. It was the perfect textures for me. I also enjoyed their soursop juice. It paired perfectly with my meal. My friend got the pernil arepa and was impressed by the taste and the green sauce. I didn't get much information out of him other than it was hitting the spot lol. Definitely a solid place to go in the area. It's kind of medium sized in there but there is plenty of seating if you're with a party no bigger than 3 or 4 people. I think most people come in here for a grab and go situation. But it's cool to hang around to watch the kitchen at work and hear the music.

I just had a horrible experience there. I ordered a chicken arepa for take out. They seemed really…read morebusy so I stepped away for 20min and when I came back the guy at the register had forgotten my order and made it on the spot. When I had gotten home, I realized he had given me the wrong order. I had to walk back to the restaurant. When I explained the mistake, the employee at the register (wearing black square glasses) became defensive and repeatedly insisted that the error was my fault. Instead of handling the situation professionally, he spoke to me in a demeaning and confrontational manner. I have an auto immune disease where I am limited to what I can eat. He didn't want to redo my order because "it was my fault" and I told him what he gave me I cannot eat, so he finally agreed. I was done arguing with him so I stood their silently. The whole entire time as they were re-making the order he repeatedly tells me that this was my mistake and not his. I get that the misunderstanding may have been partly my fault because I wasn't specific in which chicken option I wanted, and I acknowledged that to him. However, that does not justify speaking to a customer in a belittling or disrespectful manner. Mistakes happen, but the way this situation was handled was completely unprofessional. Because of this experience, I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this restaurant to others in the Bushwick community.

We ordered the mini empanadas (corn) and pastels (flour) with assorted chicken, cheese, and beef filling and all were delicious, my favorite being the beef empanada. They were perfectly fried and crispy and the beef was juicy and seasoned. I had the pabellon arepa which was a great portion, with juicy pulled pork, tasty black beans, plantains, and cheese. We also enjoyed the carne molida (ground beef) bowl, a chicken/sausage/steak platter, and the mixed protein sandwich which was enormous. The ground beef was a touch dry and the juice from the pulled pork made the bottom half of the arepa a bit soggy, but I didn't mind that. Overall everything was delicious and generously portioned! There is limited seating indoors but we were able to get a table at 5pm on a Saturday with no wait. The food took a little while (~20min) but it was well worth the wait! We will definitely return if we're in the area!!

For fear of being deeply dramatic, I had to actually put my fork down and do some mindful eating when I had that first bite. The meat was so flavorful.

I didn't love that the beans were a little sweet, but they paired well with the plantains. I also realize that I must've been eating arepas wrong my whole life because this one was steaming hot, moist, and had a bit of a crunch. Lots of seats available at 2:30, but still had multiple tables full of people. Music popping, a colorful bathroom, good vibes.
