Omgyummy. Yeah - this place was incredible.
The boy often has this look of dread on his face when I recommend a new place - especially when I warn him that I think it will be a "really good hole in the wall joint". So - my assumption was dead on. But, the inside was mad cool. Very industrial in a put-together way.
Now the bad news... the cheesy corn? Yuck. My fellow Yelpers had built it up so much that I couldn't wait to try it. It was melted cheese - lots and lots of melted cheese - with a little bit of corn and chicken in it. Umm... Cheesy corn sounds like it should be more cheese than corn. It was like fishing in cheese sauce to find corn and chicken. The corn cakes served with it were good though.
Now, the arepas. YUM... on mine. I got the chorizo arepa. Because - well... I get chorizo on anything. It's on the bacon level in my book. It was amazing. And, the different sauces that they serve were incredible... especially the chimichuri sauce. It wasn't normal chimichuri with oil... more like a dressing. But, SO good.
The boy got the Hawaiian arepa. It wouldn't have been my first choice. But, I am not a huge fan of ham anyways. He liked it... but it was too much ham and not enough flavor. Not bad (I mean, he ate it all...) but, he'd probably pick a different one next time.
Next time... yeah. We will definitely be back! :)
