Employees are not nice. They have the worst attitude and make arrogant faces at you. Do not go here!!!!!

Completely solid arepas. I got the trio of minis. The passion fruit cake they have at the counter is highly underrated 🤌

The food is excellent and represents an authentic oasis for high-quality Latin cuisine. The location and space are also outstanding. However, one aspect detracts from the experience: the volume of the music. It is consistently so loud that it feels more like a street festival than a restaurant, which unfortunately does not convey the best image of Latin culture. When customers ask for the volume to be lowered to a reasonable level, the staff often respond with visible reluctance or irritation.

The restaurant has great potential, but unless the music is adjusted to a more balanced level, the goal of appealing to a broader clientele beyond the Latin community will be difficult to achieve in the long run. I sincerely hope management takes this into consideration, as it would make an already wonderful place truly exceptional.

Haven’t had arepa’s in years and was in DC for business. Saw this spot on Google and was really excited to try it - they delivered.

Excellent, fluffy and flavorful arepa with delicious beef and cheese. Messy of course, but extremely delicious with a garlic crema that was excellent.

Also tried the empanada which was delicious, had an interesting sweetness that I haven’t had before in an empanada.

Will definitely be back to this restaurant for future business trips, highly recommend.

Good variety of Venezuelan empanadas and arepas. The creamy green sauce that came with the empanadas was very good! The food came out pretty quickly.

Only ordered a small bit, but it was really good. The place looked smaller in the pictures than it is.

We went here twice on our recent vacation and it was some of the best food I've had! The arepas were delicious and had a huge amount of filling. Empanadas were crispy and full of filling as well. Definitely check this place out!

Everything was DELICIOUS.
We are in DC for the weekend and tried this place for the first time and it is everything I know and love about arepas! 10/10 (I have no photos because we stuffed our faces too fast)
