Yum! The guacamole and plantains were a delicious start. I also very much enjoyed the empanada trio, which was a unique experience compared to other restaurant empanadas. The table of sauces offered a nice compliment. The cons of the meal was my mojito (and that I wanted a frozen daiquiri but they could only offer it on the rocks). While it tasted nice, the glass was more ice than drink and not worth the price tag. The metal chairs are not comfortable for all guests. The restaurant is quite loud. You will be yelling across the table at each other. I would never come here with a large group because conversation would be impossible. The restaurant takes reservations on Open Table but threatens a charge of $20 pp if you cancel. Based on the crowd waiting for tables, there's no reason this policy should be in place. It was a turn off that almost caused us to pick another spot. Thankfully I took a chance to call and book a table without the request for my credit card. Parking is also tricky in this area. Their parking lot is almost nonexistent! Other spaces are reserved for other buildings. Be careful not to be towed. read more

Food is amazingly tasty! A little pricey but to be expected. And there is a guava cocktail that is just my favorite! Reminds me of the islands back home in Hawaii. read more

An amazing establishment! I went with a small Group of ladies and we had the best time. Such a nice atmosphere-- felt comfortable with a slight hint of fancy at the same time. Waiter was so knowledgeable of the menu and cuisine, giving recommendations and tips. A nice glass of wine paired with a plata of steak, rice, and beans-- couldn't be that. Everything one menu looked incredible. I will 100% be back. read more

We visited Senora Arepa on a girls night! Thank goodness we made reservations since it was packed on a Friday night. This is a new location in St. Matthews and parking was awful, but the restaurant is brightly lit from the outside and very welcoming. We ended up getting a high top table by the bar, and the service was excellent. We had 2-3 servers constantly asking if we needed anything. The drink menu is extensive, but I opted for a passion fruit daiquiri ($12), and it was delicious. Slightly sour and a good amount of rum! Truth time, I had two . Our server was excellent and explaining the different areas of the menu and making suggestions based on meat preferences and other desirables. We started with the guacamole and also ordered the paracon con queso. For my entree I ordered the Churrasco, which is a skirt steak, carmelized onions, chimichurri with rice and black beans. It was expensive around $31. It was very good and the rice and beans were the icing on the meal. Overall I had a good experience but my bill was $70 before tip, which is a bit pricey for one person. read more

First, the service. Amazing! Bartenders, hosts, mgrs all were super friendly and helpful. Let them know it's ur first time and they will walk you thru everything. We had the margarita (5/5 for us- which tasted like a real one, not all syrup..they're strong fyi lol). We also tried El Gubyabo- think strawberry daiquiri but funky and with tequila (3/5 for us). Tried the Cafecito Martini - espresso martini but not strong coffee flavor. More dessert flavor. But stupid good (5/5). For comparison, not on menu, asked them to make regular espresso martini (they have a real espresso maker) - it was strong (coffee flavor) and so good! (4.5/5). Opted for sampler appetizer- the Arepita Sampler- it was recommended for first time visit to understand the menu better. Highly recommend it! And make sure to use some of the dipping sauces they offer on table - like hot sauce or cilantro/garlic creamy sauce, they are all made in house. Ok the sampler - the great thing is you get a sample of most of the proteins they offer. I'm not going to rate each one, it's more fun for you to do that on ur own. But our favorite, without a doubt was the Pernil. It's low and slow cooked for 24 hours and stupid good. You may think oh pork belly... it's fatty and not healthy. Whatever. The fat renders down while it cooks and what you are left with a juicy, flavorful best pork you've EVER had. The atmosphere at the bar was awesome. With the music, lighting, etc.. you feel like you're on vacation and not stuck in Louisville. New favorite place! read more

First time trying them at the new location in St Matthews and I hate to say, but I don't like it as much as I did before unfortunately.... It turned into more of a nicer, sit down table service like Bodeguita vs the casual, order at a register vibes at the nulu location. The location while good in some ways, is really bad in others. Parking is awful as it's unclear where you can and cannot park - Can't across the street or right next door apparently. Also, hours are worse in my opinion too as they are only open for dinner and cannot be open for lunch unfortunately. Again, goes away from the fast casual vibes of stopping in for a lunch to-go. I'm more of a fast casual guy and definitely prefer that over table service. Might not bother you but because of that, I definitely won't go as often anymore. Not to my surprise, the interior and vibes are still fantastic, lively, and well done. It's just like their old location but like 4 times bigger, plus an added bar as well. Because of the change in business model, they definitely raised prices across the board. I do appreciate the menu update/change and adding a bunch of new dishes compared to before, but it comes with some cons as well. I no longer can get just an arepa by itself anymore, they all are more expensive but do come with sides now. Sometimes I just want 2 arepas but can't do that now without spending $35+. The reina pepiada arepa was $11 at their old location (Looked up old yelp pics) and now it's $20 on the menu!! It does come with a side, but are you telling me a side is worth $9 now?! That's just insane but goes so show you when they change the type of restaurant it is, what they can get away with and charge...Absolutely crazy to me and a huge bummer. Don't get me wrong, the food is still absolutely delicious and the service you receive is always good. I know this review is just me being annoyed with the changes so take it all with a grain of salt and only as my personal opinion. I definitely still do recommend this place to anyone and I doubt you'll disappointed as it's still a top tier experience, I just really miss the old Senora Arepa.... read more

Imma be honest I don't remember what I ordered but it was good. Good texture, lots of flavor, and a good portion size. I'm knocking the review down to four stars because the service took very very long. It took awhile to get a server to take the drink orders, and then we waited well over 45 minutes for the food. They had live music which was fun but they were blasting the music so loud you could not have a conversation with your table. Food though was outstanding so check this place out. read more

Came here on a Friday night, and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere (sat on the patio). The service was friendly upon arrival and continued throughout. The two of us loved our server, JJ, who happily explained the extensive menu. The owner/manager(?) even came by and checked on our table a few times. The cocktails we ordered took longer than is typical, but our server did explain the bar was backed up. We ordered an appetizer, the Empanadas Operadas, which we were not keen on (didn't hate them but wouldn't recommend or order again)--we tried the chicken, veggie, & beef, and liked the beef best. The two of us both ordered an arepa as our entree and enjoyed them. I took off 1 star for overall food quality. For example, though flavorful, my steak was hardly chewable. Thus, I did also feel things were quite overpriced. As a whole, this was a good experience and I can't wait to go back and try more things, especially an after-dinner coffee! read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while but waited due to hearing of slow service and hard to locate available parking. Finally, my gal pal and I decided tonight was the night and arrived right after the 5 p.m opening time. We were promptly greeted and seated and our friendly waitress gave us an overview of the menu and was happy to translate items and explain menu offerings. We decided on trying the first appetizer listed on the menu, at the suggestion of our waitress and wow! These mini bites pack a delicious comfort food punch, yum! Next time, we might not share! It took us awhile of googling menu items to decide to share a steak entree with sides. We'd seen two of this item being brought to other tables and it looked like a ton of food and figured it was a popular dish. We opted to share this main dish too. The flank steaks (while not my preferred cut of steak typically) were seasoned and delicious albeit a tad on the gristle laden side. The grilled onions and crunchy super thin potato straws that topped the steak provided great texture pop. The black beans, rice, & plantains were perfect accompaniments. The black beans tasted slightly sweet to us and were really delicious. We didn't order drinks this first time here but there was a wide variety to choose from on their drinks menu and we saw several that looked enticing at tables around us. Dessert menu had a few nice offerings but unless it's churros or tres leches cake I usually skip dessert and we skipped it here this visit. The manager (I'm assuming it's who this was) came by at end of our meal to ask how everything was and we had all great things to say. Really cool vibe, love the atmosphere & decor, & was excited to see a nice outdoor area for when we aren't under wind advisories or tornado threats! Being in the heart of St. Matthews, directly behind Trinity High School, parking (or lack there of & threat of car being towed) may scare some customers away but I hope this spot stays hopping busy and does well at this location! read more

What a fun place to check out! My friend from out of town came here with me and I haven't been there since it was located in nulu behind La Bodeguita de Mima. I remember getting virgin mojitos (I am not a big drinker), the sweeter plantain version and savory one with meat and it was so good!! And we even splurged and got the dessert. read more

2nd visit here tonight! We came to sit on the patio. We loved that the doors were up and the almost entire restaurant had patio vibes with music playing. We started off with the guacamole and plantain chips which were very good! The chips were thin, crispy and pretty salty which I loved. The first time we visited we got 1 arepa and 1 cachapa to share but came back tonight for the cachapas! My husband got the pork cachapa and I got the chicken thigh and we both liked the chicken one better. I'd say the service was AMAZING the first time we came. The server said he was from Venezuela and was very passionate about their culture and food. He gave us great recommendations and tips for ordering and sharing. Tonight the service was not as great, but not bad. read more

Start the timer! Super busy night, we walked in at 7pmwithout a reservation to see every seat taken and told a 40 minute wait. We decided to stick it out and grab a seat at the bar when available. After 20 min we had just one table in front of us but we got that bar seat. +2 min: bartender took drink order. + 5 min: drinks served. Highly recommend the La cocada, it drinks like a horchata crossed with eggnog, and has the consistency of a mudslide! +10 min (7:28pm) food order taken: Pernil, and empanadas.. +25 min food served. (Missing silverware) 8:12PM asked for bill, bill arrived immediately and server walked off without taking payment. 8:25pm finally got the bartender to grab the payment. I've been to this restaurant five times and 4 of those 5 it's been perfect. This time the food was a bit dry but still very tasty. The flavors here are wild and can more than make up for some deficiencies in the outcome, so even an "ok" experience here is better than a good experience in many other places. You can't go wrong with any menu choice. read more

Greatttt service. Our server was so attentive, and the managers stopped by to chat not just check the block. The vibe was wonderful, and we enjoyed our visit here. We ended up getting full off appetizers and drinks, they are so big and filling ! We tried their desserts and they were equally as good I recommend their version of tres leche. It was so good. Every drink we had here was amazing. I'd like to try their rum flights next time. Service : great I would come back. Price: a little pricey ? But I'd say that it was worth the price for sure with their portions. Parking: this was a little annoying, there's no obvious sign where to park, and we had to go in and ask as there were a lot of don't park here signs. read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant! We discovered it travelling from Nashville to Ohio. I would actually drive 3 hours just to dine there. Everything was perfectly cooked and the menu had much to choose from. We began with the Plantains and Guacamole. This was better than tortilla chips. It was freshly made and arrived at our table still warm and perfectly salted. We also had the Tostones Trio--of pork, shredded beef and Chicken. It was quite tasty! My husband had the Empanadas Trio. I don't know how they make their empanada pastry but it is fantastic! The best we have ever had! Our servers were quite efficient, attentive, kind, friendly and sweet. Awesome! They truly made us feel welcomed and spoiled. The decor was cheerful and the music lively ---it is truly a "happy place". There are a couple of places for photo ops outside . They have a great outdoor dining place/ Now the only thing that could make this restaurant better is if they would open a location in Franklin Tennessee! read more

5 stars for ambiance, 5 stars for courtesy but delayed service and bad food accounts for the 2 stars. I am saddened since Venezuelan food is amazing. We made a reservation for 3 for 8pm and they said that due to it being so full we had to wait 10-15 minutes. That became 30 minutes and that's because we insisted several times in the last 5 minutes. Sat down at 8:30pm, got drinks (2 margaritas and a guanabana juice) at 8:50. Then when we asked for food at that time (2 arepas and a pepito) we waited 45 minutes. They did give us a free appetizer for waiting though. The food, sadly, was not even that good. The pepito had all fries and 3 very small pieces of meat. The bread was rock hard and inedible. The sweet potato chips were ok I guess. The arepas, which in the past in their old location had been good, were average at the very best. We did eat them mostly because of hunger. Overall a bad experience and we think it was mostly due to the entire operation being relatively new and unaccustomed to high volumes. The fact that we saw like 5 different servers apologizing makes us think the slow link was the kitchen not being able to keep up. It was not only our table but several others that waited forever. I'm hoping it gets better in the future as their old place was a go-to for good arepas... but for now, it is hard to give it a good recommendation. read more

I am excited that this opened up in the St. Matthews area. I didn't get a chance to try it in nulu but now it is even closer to me. I went in a Sunday night which I was hoping would be not as busy but the restraint was packed. I was told that it was opening weekend ( I thought it opened weeks ago) but I was able to get a seat at the bar. It took awhile before I was asked if I wanted any water or even get a menu (reason for the 4 stars). Once I received the menus I selected the mango mojito for my beverage. They have a pretty nice size menu and the pricing is compared to the other restaurants like mojito in Havana. The inside is so nice! They have have an intimate outdoor space that opens into the main dining area, they can close the door when the temps starts to get cooler. It's a pretty nice size restaurant with lots of seating with both the indoor and outdoor open. There is even an area for to-go orders on the side of the building. I went with a plate option instead of trying an arepa. I will try that next time. My dish had pollo merchado, black beans, rice and plantains. It was a lot of food and so good. I can't wait to go back and try more. read more

The place is cute as a button! We all agreed that the food descriptions need some major help. It's hard to understand what the different dishes are and our waiter was struggling to explain. Pictures of the food offered would also be helpful. The staff was attentive and the outdoor patio was nice. The sun was a little much and we weren't sure why the umbrellas weren't open. It wasn't windy or anything. Food tasted good and I had an amazing "Sifrina Spritz" cocktail that makes me want to go back again soon. Nice clean restroom and festive music. Will be back to try more things. read more

I really wanted to try these arepas since i loved them when i went to cancun. They really do a great job with the arepas here and they're enormous! A little bready but good portion of meat to the bread itself. We tried the churassco and pernil arepa, both very good. I like a bit more spice so i used their sauces they have near the entrance to up the taste! I think i still like steak better (churassco). Yuca fries were bomb, fried so nicely not oily. Was not a fan of the empanadas because it was way too bready personally. This was my first time trying pepitos and it was hugeeee but so good. I don't know how anyone could realistically eat this holding it vs a fork and knife haha. I shared all this with my parents and it was a lot of food. I want to try out some of their other arepas next time! You order at a walk up cashier, pick your own table, and they'll bring the food out to you. read more

My boyfriend's mom really wanted to try this place for dinner, so we did tonight! None of us have ever had Venezuelan food before but none of us are super picky and we were all excited to try something new. Immediately, the employees were so kind, and our server especially was. He was more than willing to explain the menu to us and he was patient with our questions. I will say, though, that upon looking at the menu for the first time we were a bit shocked by the prices. Nonetheless, we looked the menu over and decided to order two different arepas - churrasco de pollo and pernil - and picaña. The pernil arepa was quite good. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the churrasco de pollo one. The picaña was probably my favorite, but I couldn't justify spending $40 on it again. The portion was good, and the flavor was there, but not enough to justify $40. They did bring us 6 huge sauce bottles out, which we had a lot of fun trying! Every single one was amazing, but the tables personal favorites were the garlic and cilantro garlic - they pair especially well with the sweet potato fries. Lastly, we ordered the orquidea drink. It was so good and hardly tasted like alcohol. It also was presented beautifully. Overall, the place is beautiful, the staff clearly care, and the food was good. It is a little pricy, but if you can afford it then it's worth trying at least once! read more

We visited the new location of Senora Arepa in St. Matthews. We have been to the one on Market St. a few times in the last year so we were excited to hear they were opening a spot closer to our home. They have a very cute outdoor seating area. At the Market St location, you order at the register, are given a number, and food is bought out to your table. At this new St. Matt's location, you are seated by a hostess and have a server. The vibe is very upbeat and staff were all very friendly. To be honest, this is not my favorite place to eat but my partner loves it and they are great with gluten allergies. We visited on a Thursday night and it was very busy, our food came out about an hour after we ordered. The music is very loud inside so it made conversation with our friends difficult. read more

This was a "Ooooh! That looks yummy, let's go there on date night!" We needed to grab a bite before a YES event and this was a welcome surprise! We loved everything from the ordering food to leaving the restaurant. The lady helping us order answered all of our questions graciously and was all about making sure we knew what we were getting size wise and ingredients wise. We got 3 different kinds of arepas and a dessert and it was way too much food. We brought home one of them to our babysitter! I can't wait to bring my work team to try this place out for our Christmas party! It's fun to try new things and if you have never had arepas before this is the place to go. read more

This place is super new! Opened a few months ago. It's by the wife of the guy who opened La Bodeguita. Hence they share patios. But the food here is Venezuelan. You order at the counter inside then they give you a number. You can sit indoors or outdoors. Not tons of service. As they only bring out the food and check on you maybe once? I should've taken a lactaid pill as there was so much cheese in my arepa. Not a bad thing! It was worth it. I got the arepa llanero. It's got steak, tomato, avocado, and 3 types of cheese y'all! Pretty filling on its own! No need to order much else. I did order 2 empanadas to take home and try later. One was carne, one was pollo. Absolutely delicious! My other table mates got pabellón and the cachapa pernil. To be honest, this ain't the place for your vegan friends. It's heavy meats and cheese all over the menu. Cachapa kinda looked like a fried tortilla folded over with stuff inside. The pabellón my friend ordered was one of the regular entrees, so it came with black beans and plantains and rice. We all enjoyed it! We also had some refreshing juice drinks. Don't know what they were but that they were fruity, sweet, and non-alcoholic. There was live music! And sitting outside was gorgeous. It's covered to keep out the rain and there's tons of seating out there too. Sometimes the music felt a bit loud and I would have to yell to my friend sitting next to me. I'll be back again! Love the atmosphere! read more

Senora Arepa - Menu - Venezuelan Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We were drawn in by the tropical feeling patio, with brightly colored murals, flowers, and a live saxophone player + mister fans to keep it cool. The food was great! I got an arepa, and my friend got empanadas. My favorite part is the cooler full of assorted sauces though - they come with your food and you can take whichever ones you want. I obviously tried all of them lol, I'm all about sauces... My favorite was the curry one. It was a little confusing where to sit because there are a bunch of signs on the tables that say reserved, but they're reserved for customers at señora arepa, cause I think the patio space is shared with the restaurant in front. So you can sit anywhere with a sign. They have a very small parking lot, but we were able to park for free on the street just around the corner. read more

So I really wish there were half stars. This is more like a three and a half for me but I'm rounding up because the Mojitos were excellent and they take reservations which I greatly appreciate. Nothing was bad on our recent visit but at the price point I definitely expected a little more in some areas. $25-$30 for entrees that don't all come with sides is a lot. Now some of them do come with things but the one I chose didn't and I had to add something for another $6. Our server was very friendly and had the recommendation for the mojito which as I said was excellent but she was not very efficient unfortunately. Things were very slow and not just because the kitchen was behind but she seemed to disappear for long stretches. Then when she brought us the dessert menu which has 5-6 options she didn't mention that they only actually had 2 of them available at that time so when we went to order the things we wanted weren't available. That probably should've been mentioned when she brought the menu. Over all the food was all delicious. We had the guacamole appetizer and it was fresh and creamy and the plantain chips were crispy and delicious. The entrees were tasty and such but to me everything was very expensive. $14-$15 for cocktails $25-$30 for entrees, added sides for $5-6 each. Plus we ended up not actually getting dessert but those were all $15-16 each which is some of the most expensive dessert I've ever seen. I was only paying for myself and my two drinks, entree and side were $80 after tip. That's a lot for one person. The restaurant itself was also super loud. I know there's not always a lot they can do about the noise but it was definitely hard to talk/hear in there. The parking situation is also kind of ridiculous. There is a lot right next to the restaurant which you're not supposed to park in. It's for Highland Morning and Spinnelis only. Then behind the restaurant the lot belongs to Trinity High School and is marked as private property so I'm sure they don't really want you parking there either. There is a little street parking but I do mean a little. Then there's the big lot across the street and that's where I parked however if I was reading their signs correctly you're technically not supposed to park there either for this restaurant as it says it's only for the restaurants/businesses on that side of the street which are listed on the sign. Luckily I didn't have an issue but I wasn't sure where else to park without going a long ways away which being alone I wasn't going to do especially not being that familiar with the area. All in all 4.5 stars for the food but 2 for the slow service, bad parking, and high prices. read more

Senora Arepa - Capacha - Venezuelan Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Senora Arepa is a Venezuelan eatery located in the awesome and vibrant Nulu neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. It shares a parking lot and patio with another popular eatery called La Bodeguita De Mima. Senora is in the very back of the parking lot behind the La Bodeguita spot. You walk through a beautiful Tropical themed patio area that I'm pretty sure both establishments share. They have there own set of double doors that leads you into there establishment. You walk to a counter and place your order, pay and then receive a number to take to your table. Upon walking in with my wife on a quick and fun lunch date today around 1pm we was greeted immediately by a very nice woman who I assume owned the place. If she did not then give her employee of the year because she was very invested and excited for this place. She asked us if we had been there before or ever had Venezuelan food. When we advised her no to both. She immediately got a menu and her phone for photos and broke down our eating habits to cater to what she thinks we would love. Was super helpful and made us feel like VIP's before even placing our order. After help from the awesome owner or future employee of the year we was ready to order. Based off my needs of being extremely picky we figured out the best dish for me was the Churrasco de pollo pepitos without the caramelized onions and pico. Off my wife's taste interests she recommend a Churrasco cachapas. For an appetizer she recommended a Tequenos or what she called Venezuelan cheese sticks. We took her advice on everything suggested and my goodness was she right. Either everything here is just amazing or she has a gift for getting peoples taste interests and matching it up with the right meals. The Tequenos or Venezuelan cheese sticks were awesome. Great flavor, good cheese and the white sauce which name escapes me added a perfect and sweet touch to it. Great app! My Churrasco de pollo pepitos was not only pretty too look at but was amazing. Basically a Sandwich with your meet of choice, some salsa, cheese and a corn that I can only compare to Mexican street corn on top. The meat was top notch the sauces and cheese both great and the corn topping with potato straws on top just pulled it all together. I've never quite had anything like this but it was amazing. I can't wait to try this again. My wife's Churrasco cachapas also was not just pretty looking but very tasty as Well. The main course along with the black beans She ordered she raved about. Once again another excellent suggestion. We had an amazing experience here. It's common to see people detail a bad service experience on yelp when it's negative and and only say it was good when it is good. I'll say this about senora arepa. They had phenomenal service for us today. Maybe the best I've had In a really long time. The lady helping us was truly invested and cared what we thought too. We proudly told her she did amazing. Overall fantastic experience. I can not recommend trying this place enough. I'm a very picky and safe eater. I'm glad I went on a limb and tried this place today. I'll absolutely come back and I'll be telling everyone I know to check out this great tasting and cool Nulu spot. read more

Located just behind La Bodeguita, I was very excited to try this place. They're usually only open for lunch so I finally made it to Louisville to give it a try. My roommate and i split two different arepas along with a couple empanadas. You place your order prior to sitting down and your food is then promptly brought out to you. They have a self service salsa/aioli type of bar you can grab for your table. The churrasco de pollo we had was amazing, so flavorful. The jamón y queso was also pretty good. Overall, I loved the place, there food, and the wonderful staff. I will be back in the near future and look forward to trying out another arepa! read more

What a gem! I knew there was a Venezuelan place behind Le Bodeguita De Mima but wasn't quite sure how/if it played into De Mima. I decided to just walk to the back of the restaurant to see and there it was, with it's own entrance. I believe you can get to it from going through De Mima too but not positive. This place has such a fun, cute patio/courtyard for dining. We were there on a beautiful Sunday so we definitely wanted to take advantage of sitting out there, where they had a singer preforming. The courtyard has tons of vegetation that it made me feel like I was on vacation, esp with the island vibes playing from the singer. Ordering is done inside, kinda like cafeteria style of waiting in line, with the menu posted above, and then ordering at a register. Once ordered, you get a number and they'll bring to you once ready. As we were about to order, a lady came over to us to thoroughly explain the menu, which was a huge help because I was unfamiliar with some of the Venezuelan dishes. We ultimately went with arepas... the Mexicana one and the Churrasco one. These were both fabulous. With that first bite, I kinda melted with how good it was. Mine was the Mexicana one... and I thought it was better than the Churrasco, even despite how much I love chimichurri steak. My only complaint was that the steak bites were a little big so sometimes when you bit into one, you kinda had to rip through it. read more

Service was great, my server was very nice. Her recommendations were not to my liking, but appreciated her thoughts. Ordered the trio cachapas, the corn base appeared to have been overcooked and not fresh. The place is beautifully decorated. read more

Great place to go for lunch! Ordering and getting our food was quick and easy. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. We sat inside, but they also have the cutest patio outside. They serve delicious Venezuelan cuisine that feature Arepas. I chose the Vegetariana. It was hot,fresh, and very filling! The tasty black beans and fresh tomato and avocado was a perfect combination. The best part is the crisp corn cake that it's served in! Coworkers got the Churrasco and the Jamon Y Queso and they loved both of them. They have a sauce bar where you can add extra flavor if you like. I like the house made hot. They offer a few expresso based coffees as well as fresh juices and a few cocktails. We will be back! read more

Señora Arepa is what Louisville has been missing. From the outdoor atmosphere to the divine cuisine, you cannot go wrong. Parking is free when visiting the Moxy Parking Garage. The empanadas, arepas, and Desserts are to die for. My favorite is anything with Platains or Heart of Palm options for Vegans to Omnivores! You cannot go wrong, any way you wish to order! P.s. Dog friendly on the left side of the patio. Brava! read more

Walking up the place is vibrant with patio seating being misted from above. Colors pop and represent the flag. The food is amazing with my favorite app being the ceviche chicharron. My fav arepa from the sample was the churrasco steak. Will definitely return on my visits to Louisville. read more

The food was great. The bandeja paisa is a great dish to share. The yuca fritas were amazing. The service was good overall. The place is cute with indoor and outdoor seating, very nice ambiance. We didn't wait long even though it was a Saturday evening and it was packed. I would definitely go back. The mango margarita was pretty good. I drove almost two hours to try this place so I had high hopes, it did not disappoint. read more
