This place was AWESOME.
When you walk in you can smell the burning wood and the place is clean and spacious with lots of seating.
The man at the counter was very helpful, he let us know the popular items, let us know that the arepa looked tiny but they are very filling. Each arepa on the menu is around 5-7 bucks depending on what's inside it. You can add extra toppings like cheese, fried egg, and avocado for .50 - $1.00.
We ordered one shredded chicken one beef with plantains and beans. Came out to around $12. Sure enough when we picked them up they were really hefty. Check out the photos! The arepa itself was nice and crunchy on the outside but was really soft and kind of crumbly on the inside. Overall had a great mouthful and paired perfectly with the well seasoned meat. It almost reminded me of a gigantic tamale but 10,000 times better. They also serve them with a side of green hot sauce and garlic cilantro mayo, both of which I recommend.
They also give you a bunch of napkins, and you're going to need all of them because things get REALLY messy really quickly. Next time I might use a fork and knife just to help me tackle all of the meat.
Thankful we were able to try this place and will definitely be back!
