| - Stopped in for lunch and WOW were we blown away how fantastic the food is here. Great atmosphere, really cool graffiti work on the wall all around the restaurant that the owner hand painted himself. Really nice outdoor patio in the back. They hand make all the arepas and everything is super fresh, they also have gluten free and veggie options. And service is exceptional.
For appetizers we ordered the cheesy corn (corn al-gratin, grilled chicken and queso). Served with tortilla chips and arepa fries. The arepa fries we the best. The dip itself was really tasty, the only downside is that as soon as it gets cold, it seems to get super thick. Next we tried the maduros con queso (plantains, feta cheese and queso fundido). The plantains were nice and caramelized, sweet and a great addition to the cheese. For our main entrees we had the arepa Puerca (chorizo beans, chicken, fried chicharrones, and mozzarella). Arepa Paisa (fried chicharrones, chorizo beans, fried egg and mozzarella). Both were absolutely amazing. The arepas were really fresh and the chicharrones were the star of the dish. They also have a nice selection of house made sauces to add to your food (spicy peanut, pineapple, chimmi-churri, ranchero and garlic aioli). All the sauces are unbelievably good and refreshing. They range from sweet to spicy. The garlic aioli is like crack. It will definitely knock your socks off if your a garlic fan.
