Good food, nice server, but slow food to the table because all the to go orders were prioritized. Also, they didn't state there was an 18% service charge even though there were only 5 of us. We even stated we thought the bill was high but the server was silent and only let us briefly look at her POS unit to verify what we ordered. Add then another 3% credit charge. Totally ridiculous and basically stealing when you leave an additional tip. Beware.

Phenomenal!! This is one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Our family shared our meals. The Cachapatona was my favorite. It was a perfect mixture of sweet and savory with a delicious explosion of flavor. The arepas were great and so was the Café Con Leche. If you haven't dined here you are missing out!! The servers were very sweet, the restaurant was nice and clean. I only wish they had a location in Alabama.

Went to a late lunch and got the mini arepas. Very tasty and flavorful. Only drawback in the whole thing is the amount of food for the price (my opinion is not enough for the price) but for me was ok at this time. I wasn't that hungry. Service was good but be aware they dont take Amex cards so bring Visa instead.
