Came here with friends who recommended this spot. To what I understand, Tio Simon used to be Arepas which I loved Arepas on Las Vegas Blvd so I was really excited.
We were a party of 5 and they did get busy and thank God we were already seated and ordered our food.
Food:
Chicken Empanada
Beef Arepas
My friend ordered a couple of appetizers but I forgot what it was called but I'll upload the pix. It was good.
The Empanada was delicious. I loved the texture and the chicken was flavorful. The Arepas was okay alone. But when you add the sauce it elevated and tasted so much better. The sauces were a green, spicy and another that is like an aioli.
Now the negative. Service was horrible. 4 out of 5 of us got our food and the main person who we were celebrating did not get her food. We were already done and she finally got her order. I had to ask a couple of times for a cup of ice. I haven't drank can soda in a long time but it was $4.14. I was like WOW but ok.
Overall, I'd still return because the food was delicious. The server just needs help. Im thinking she did not put my friends order in. I was Happy to see a guy walking around asking how's everything. We told him our friend didn't get her food and he asked the kitchen about it. read more
