| - Been here twice already. Loved it both times. I had the Reina Pepiada and my boyfriend had the Adobo Roasted Pork. I would have prefered if mine was a hot meal like the La Catira I had the first time, but still good nonetheless. A little heavy on the avocado in the arepa, it kept falling out of the sides making it hard to eat. But you can never go wrong when you add one of three homemade sauces! Go big or go home, that green spicy sauce is damn spicy. And I'm Korean.
The Roasted Pork came with a stackfull of meat. I like to think of it as a guy's meal. Maximum meat, minimum everything else. Tons of juicy sauce and flavour pouring out of it at each bite though. I love the corn meal bread used to make the arepas. I would go just to order a side of "bread." Who would've thought this engineering between cornbread and sandwich would be such an awesome combo!
We also had the fried empanadas. Not so sure what my take is on this one because it was my first time trying these. Nothing terrible but I just thought it was mediocore. Just basically a fried dumpling with either chicken or fish inside. I just ate it with a lot of the green sauce to amp it up a bit.
I also tried their sugar cane lemonde. Definitely tastes like lemonade with a ton of sugar! Very sweet, very sour, very good (at least in my opinion) for people with a heavy sweet tooth.
Overall, I love this place, the feel of it, the decor, the staff, the food. I would keep coming back until I tried every one of their arepas.
