| - Oh So Satifsying! Came here the other day after my boyfriend and I heard about this place and decided to give it a try..We used to frequent an arepa place in Kensington market before it closed down and was quite sad that we wouldn't find another place just like it..and we were amazed to find a place that exceeded our expectations!
Its a good size place with quite a few tables and seats..you can dine in or take out.
Our waitress was very friendly and since it was our first time here, she helped us with the menu..She recommended the reina pepiada (chicken, avocado, red onion, coriander)-which was their number one selling arepa and the pabellon arepa (flank steak, black beans, mozerella cheese and sweet plaintain). She sold me on the pabellon arepa and my boyfriend ended up getting the adobbo roasted pork..we also ordered tequenos..Our tequenos arrived first with 3 different sauces to accompany (hot sauce, green pepper sauce and a mayo/aoili)..The hot sauce was REALLY spicy (well according to us anyways) and the green pepper and the mayo ended being really nice accompaniment to the tequenos..oh gooey cheesey fried goodness! It also came with guacamole..mmm...guac..
Our arepas came..and my gosh they looked yummy! I really enjoyed mine and thought it was savoury and oozing with flavour..We were both stuffed after our last bite..I had to give the rest of mine to him cause I was so full..But before leaving, we had to try the beet root brownie..it was quite nice, it wasn't as sweet and not as gooey but still had good texture and a nice cocoa taste to it
Overall, we thought the service was great, food was delicious and we will definitely be coming back!
