I got turned onto this place from the Cooking Channel Show "Eden Eats." Eden herself is a touch spastic and really needs to lay off the Red Bull, but the show is interesting and covers mostly ethnic places off the beaten path. One show took place in Charlotte and featured arepas from the Antojitos mi Colombia bakery.
Arepas are made from pre cooked corn flour, hand molded into disks, pan fried and then baked. They can be split open and filled with all manners of deliciousness and served sandwich style; a corn biscuit of sorts. Anything made out of 100% corn will catch my attention - can't consume gluten; it' been so long since I've had a sandwich out at a restaurant!
The bakery has the Arepas Grill attached. The menu board shows all the different fillings you can get in your Arepa. I uploaded pics of the menu. You order at the counter, wait 10-15 minutes and they bring it out to you wrapped in paper. I ordered the Pelua - shredded beef and gouda. It was warm, the arepa was light and crispy and the meat was well seasoned; I inhaled it in minutes. Absolutely delicious.
Other than the arepa's they serve sweet corn pancakes and also a breakfast platter and desserts. The sandwich was more than enough to fill me up, but heartier appetites may want to order dessert; they had the usual South American options of flan, tres leches and a passion fruit mousse.
An option for a vegetable side dish would be nice, but just a minor quibble. I loved what I ordered and will definitely be coming back to try the different sandwichs and also for breakfast.
