| - Small, local place with excellent food. Their specialty is arepas, which I can best describe as more of a gyro than a taco. It is a thick, homemade, white corn tortilla cut down the middle and stuffed with filling. I had the Arepa Puerca, which was generously filled with chicken, beans, and mozzarella. One of my favorite things here was the sauces that they have to put on both arepas and chips. You are given a tray with 5 bottles filled with sauce, spicy peanut, pineapple, ranchero, chimmichurri, and my personal favorite, a creamy garlic aioli. The atmosphere was very cozy, with a man playing guitar consistently for the whole time we were there on a Saturday night, almost two hours! I thought the drinks were good, but a little pricey. I thought the arepas were also a bit pricey for "sandwiches" but were also very good, so I feel they are worth it. The negative here for me was the service. Our server was stopping over almost incessantly before we ordered, and hardly at all after we ordered, taking quite a while before we received our check. Being my first and only time here, I would not yet hold the service against the restaurant, as it was only one instance. This is definitely a place I would recommend for anyone to experience some of their special Arepas.
