Food was good, service was ok, atmosphere was standard. We tried the Colombian arepa and meat soup. The arepa was good, a bit pricey for the portion though. The meat soup was dense with cassava I guess. Didn’t really like the whole cassava, it’s a bit dry. The soup tasted good. Overall a bit pricey. I would recommend the arepas. They tasted interesting.

This morning I visited maze and wheat and was very happy that I did.
I got the Chicharrona Arepa, and it was totally excellent. I thought it was a good size and had plenty of filling. The fried pork belly was crispy in some spots and soft and chewy in others, just like it's supposed to be. There was lots of mozzarella and every once in a while you got a bite of sweet plantains. It was really delicious.
The coconut limeade was so good...

The food was good, but not great, authentic, and the place was extremely clean. The service was good. The price was little high and I wish the arepa had more filling. It was primarily cheese, as seen from the picture. If it had more meat and plantain that would have made closer to being worth $11, but considering there were no sides, it was lacking.
