This place is great. I had the ropa vieja arepa with black bean soup, and it was tasty. The meat filling in the arepa was nicely spiced and very generous, and the arepa shell held together and had a good texture. The service is seems intentionally slow to give you space, not out of neglect.
The prices are fair, but this place has table service, so my lunch with a soft drink was $16, after tip.
