This food was delicious. I popped in for a quick lunch while running errands in the area and I'm so glad that I did. I ordered the arepa con chorizo and substituted the fries for yuca. Every bite of the arepa was bursting with savory flavor, from the chorizo (completely approachable spice level) to the sauteed onions and peppers, from the crisp-yet-soft arepa to the melted cheesy goodness. The yuca was fried to perfection: lightly golden on the outside and soft on the inside. Don't even get me started on the sauces...both the creamy garlic sauce and the chipotle sauce went well with the arepa and yuca. I couldn't pick a favorite, and trust me when I say I sampled quite a bit trying to pick.
After my lunch, I decided to take home some pupusas for the fam and they did not disappoint. I chose queso con loroco because I'm always looking for something new or different to try. We had the pupusas for dinner and they were amazing hours and hours later. I'm sure I was missing some of that "fresh off the griddle" crunch, but the flavors were still rich. I liked the loroco in the pupusas and thought it added a nice "green" flavor. It reminded me a little of very mild broccoli rabe. The slaw (cabbage, carrot, and what seemed to be jalapeño) added a nice crunch and the sauce that comes with the pupusas has a great spicy kick!
The young woman who took care of me at El Arepazo y Pupuseria was very sweet and even entertained the questions I asked in my endless search for Colombian buñuelos. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to try something a little different!
