We ordered through DoorDash. Food was amazing. I'm gluten intolerant, and the arepas are perfectly gluten free, made with masa (corn flour), and absolutely delicious! However, my husband ordered 2 orders of tacos and upon delivery, we discovered an order of tacos is only one taco. He was very disappointed to receive half of what he thought he was getting.So, if you order tacos, just keep in mind that you're only getting 1 taco per order.

The man who cooks does not know how to treat customers. I was never rude. I just left him an observation about how a typical dish goes and he came out to tell me that he prepared it however he wanted.

Cute place that we carry out from all the time! The arepas are so good! They never cease to amaze for an authentic local spot. Indoors it’s a basic set up. The family is so welcoming and cute though so worth to dine in. A bit overpriced for what you get but definitely recommend a try!
