The arepas here are excellent, and we love the cachapa as well. We've had arepas all over the country, and this place has one of the better ones. The only thing I wish they'd do differently, is allow customizing the Reina pepiada, because as I understand, it's currently pre-mixed, so no customizations are possible with that one. I've had the same arepa at other places and those have allowed to make a custom arepa with just the avocado and chicken, wish that was possible here. Apart from that, excellent service and food, we'll keep going back!

Have been coming here now a few times with friends and family and it is now one of my staple places to go to eat and have a good time! Haven’t had anything I didn’t like so far and the staff is super friendly!

Best South American food in the area. All their arepas are delicious, the weekend specials are great, and all of the appetizers are amazing. I always crave their yuca frita and empanadas. Only downside is the price, but 100% worth it for the food you get.
Cosy little spot right next to a Starbucks for a nice and quiet dine in with an amazing menu with a ton of gluten free optionsDietary restrictions: Almost everything on the menu is available gluten-free made on a dedicated gluten-free space in the kitchen. The staff is knowledgeable and can answer questions

Decent vegetarian options. Upon request they helped with Jain food with special instructions. Mostly they use raw banana which is widely used by Jain.

If I would give this place a zero stars I definitely would!!! when my boyfriend went to pick up the order the girl there looked at him like he was a thief. for the next one (that honestly that I won't be back to that place) tell me how to dress!And also, I order the patacón with shrimp and was TOTALLY different to the picture! I pretty disappointed of this place and Latino People that work here.

I'm disappointed in the high cost at $93 and the empanadas I ordered are miniature! I can't believe it ?.
The meat was not fresh, it was cooked for several days and was reheated and the juice is not natural, I will not return to this

Super yummy arepas place right in Downtown Willow Glen. We shared the tequenos, the arepa Cameron, and the arepa Santa Barbara. Everything was so flavorful, price was affordable and they had some cute juices I'd want to get next time! Would recommend

We came here for a casual dinner date, and it did not disappoint! The interior was simple but inviting and the service was excellent. The host and server both were friendly and fun to talk to! I haven't had an arepa in a while so this was very satisfying. Highly recommend the tostones to start, they're crispy and savory, and a great vehicle for some sauce :) And of course the arepas were delicious, very hearty as they're loaded with fillings. I'll definitely be back to try more of their wide selection of arepas!!
