Walked into here randomly, but I already had read about this place briefly on yelp before.
The vibe as soon as I walked in was warm, I enjoyed it.
I ordered the carne mechada arepa and although flank steak already is a tough meat I found the steak very very very very dry and hard to chew. It' was unnaturally shredded/dry. I don't think it's a good idea to shred flanksteak. I almost choked on the meat.
With that being said, the flavour was not there either. Maybe it had been laying there for a while, maybe it was from yesterday.. i'm not sure..
The actual arepa and the sauces are what makes this place amazing though.
The arepa is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.. the garlic mayo, cilantro sauce and hot sauce are deeeeelicious..
the cabbage they serve on the side is tasteless without the garlic mayo doused on top
A+ for serving sauce on the side
the filling is what makes a sandwich and i was disappointed with it. but i will go back again to try something else. so i'll hopefully change my review then.
