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.

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.

The only critique that we have about our order is that we ordered 3 empanadas, 2 beef and 1 plantain and cheese but instead we got 3 plantain and cheese empanadas so Uber had to refund us the money for the empanadas. We were really looking forward to the beef and we ordered the empanadas separately, not as a trio, to avoid any mistakes; yet whoever took the order made the mistake anyway. Despite this error, the food was amazing, and I look forward to eating from there again in the future
