3/5 - Overall
I visited this location to pickup a food order from an app, and thus I might not have the full experience of dining in the restaurant, but I'll review what I can.
Venue: The restaurant is tucked away on a quiet street in Kensington, and you might miss the front if you don't look carefully. The inside is far from large, but houses several small dining tables, and a small bar. Not spacious, but a cozy spot for a nice meal and conversation. Latin music plays in the background most times, and there shouldn't be too many people in the restaurant past 7:00pm. Only complaint is that there seems to be a tendency for people to drag snow and water into the restaurant, and the interior was a bit too chilly for the winter weather.
Food: I ordered a large arepa with chicken tinga, avocado and chimichurri. However I received one with mozzarella instead of chimichurri. It was still very tasty, but I would have liked if they could have clarified with me before substituting a topping. Around $12 - $15 for a large arepa, they are on the pricier side of a "sandwich" and will not fill you up if you have a large appetite. Otherwise, the meat was tender and flavorful, and nothing was overly oily.
Overall: As indicated above, a quick note to let me know that they had run out of chimichurri would have been no problem. Service was otherwise friendly, and they made my food order on the spot.
