| - I tried arepa once in my life at a Colombian friends house and ever since I've been craving for them, but failed in finding or making them. Finally I heard of Arepa Café so when I had the chance I immediately visited this place.
Arepa Café is located at the prime restaurant location.
The decor was very trendy and hipster, as most new restaurants seem to be these days, and most tables were occupied.
We were immediately attended to and were asked if we needed any help or questions regarding the menu.
My eyes went straight for the Pulpo, which was an octupus filled arepa. My brother on the other hand, having a larger appetite, chose the brunch platter, which consisted of beans, cheese, scrambled eggs, avocado, and arepa.
The food took around 15ish minutes to make, which shows that they make everything fresh.
The food, once it arrived, looked great, but the serving size was pretty tiny, including the platter.
My octopus arepa was very messy to eat as the arepa was overstuffed, but the stuffing was delicious and fresh. I finished feeling like I've eaten something healthy, which I pretty sure it was as the octopus was boiled but seasoned very well with a citrus marinade. However, I also felt like I only ate an appetizer as I was still quite hungry.
My brother seemed satisfied and enjoyed his meal too.
So, all in all, I will definitely return and may order the same thing as it was really good, but next time I'll also include a side along with the arepa.
