The food here was incredibly good, loved everything I got. Many great South American selections. It was busy but service was on point, atmosphere an upbeat-chill. Great little spot, also had tostones with guacamole and a cafe Cuban to top it off. ¡Muchas gracias para todo!

This was my first time visiting, and I had seen many great reviews online and as a result had high expectations.

While the service was good and atmosphere was fine, the food in particular was a considerable let down.

Although the presentation looked good, everything we ordered was egregiously unseasoned. There was also a lack of any sauce options. The blandness was notable across our whole parties dishes. For the price we paid, there was nothing special that warranted it.

Our guacamole only tasted like avocados and we had to add lime and salt from the other dishes to make it taste like anything. The meat dishes had no sauce or seasoning. Only one dish had any type of salt whatsoever.

Sadly, while our party admitted it would be less authentic, we also agreed that taco bell would have been a more enjoyable experience.

Was traveling here and didnt know where the good restaurants were. Went to Google and narrowed it down to this one.

We walked in around 530 on a Friday night and the restaurant appeared to be quiet. However, as we were seated at our table we could see that it was busier than it initially looked.

The food was exactly what we were looking for. It wasn’t too expensive (part of what we got was also on happy hour) and it was very flavorful. Furthermore, the food arrived quickly after the order was placed and arrive hot. I love when food arrives hot.

The restaurant itself had a fun and clean atmosphere/ambiance. I was there with family but could also see going there with a partner too.

We walked there so idk about parking. There was some street parking in front of the restaurant and maybe some more in the back but I am not sure

I don’t know how to describe how good the food here is… I have gotten the same thing every time I’ve come, the Pabellon Croillo (may be misspelt), and it’s really one of the most flavor packed things I’ve ever eaten. Each part of the dish compliments the others so perfectly.

I ordered the beef arepa. Incredible flavor but very messy. The liquid from the beef and pico made the cornbread vessel very soggy.
The service was a bit slow for being a not very busy lunch.

Ordered the tostones with guac and some chicharron, and I must say the flavor was on point! There was no need to add any extra salt or toppings. The hint of lime hit the spot!

We came here after a change of plans and were honestly trying to give it a fair shot. The place looked promising — sleek booths, polished menus, and a calm, upscale vibe.

The name had us expecting a focus on arepas and empanadas, but a heads-up: empanadas are only served from 11 AM to 2 PM. That detail’s in small print, but it changes the game if that’s what you’re coming for.

We started to settle in and ordered drinks.
Our server, Anthony, was genuinely great — friendly, helpful, and the highlight of the experience.

But then one of my friends picked up her shot glass and froze.
Inside were tiny black fruit flies, just floating like they’d pulled up with us.

Whole mood changed. Quiet table. Check closed.
We left.



Pro tip:
If you’re set on trying Arepazo, go during lunch hours to catch the full menu.
And give that glassware a look — just in case.
