The bread is like an english muffin (in this case I'm going to make it up and say it's more like a Venezuelan muffin than an english muffin) with a soft corn tortilla texture or flavor (because that is what it probably is).
I ordered the WOOD FIRED CHICKEN, PORK BUTT, CARNE ASADA arepa. You know they hold true to their word when they say wood fired when you can see the wood that they cook the meat in stacked in an area where you can see. Also, you can taste that delicious smoky, wood fired flavor in your meats. I'm no wood connoisseur so unfortunately I can't tell you what type of wood they used based on the flavor of the meats. I also don't eat wood on a regular (insert laughing emoji here).
You get the option of adding cheese ($0.50) and avocado ($0.99) for an extra charge. Based on experience, unless you're really lactose intolerant, I suggest you DEFINITELY get cheese. If you're feeling adventurous, add that avocado (and then pat yourself on the back for being so damn awesome). Also, add that green sauce. It'll take your mouth on a journey it has never been before. Put all that together, and what do you call that? A fiesta.
If you're on a date (like I was), I would say, pick THREE different arepas, or if you're the type who can eat food the size of a water buffalo, I would pick one of everything, and then...SHARE!
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SHARE:
1.) It makes more strategic sense to be able to conquer every food item on the menu in one shot
2.) Sharing is caring (DUH!)
3.) It makes a perfect talking point during your date ("What's your favorite?" "Oh, I like the wood fired chicken." "Oh I like the wood fired chicken too.")
4.) Diversifying is important
5.) Again, variety people. VARIETY!
6.) It's fun
