Waited in line in front of ONE person for like 10 mins to be told that the empanada gonna be another five minute wait because it’s in the freezer. The one person that we were waiting on got coffee how is that possible? I feel like service in general has just gone down.

Worst customer service I ever experienced. Had to wait forever for my food to arrive and one of the servers was extremely rude with me, when I told him the service was terrible he started arguing and wanted to fight me.

I love the quality of the food, is fresh and delicious. But the service sucks, when I walked in on a Sunday none of the servers sat me down I had to asked the cashier if I could have a table for 1 ( there were only 3 tables ) I sat, one of the server gave a tablet and walked away. I waited about 10 minutes until someone from the kitchen asked if I ordered already I answered no then a server took my order. Then a different server brought my order, he was about to walked away, I looked at him, he looked at me and asked if I needed something else. I looked at him and looked at my plate trying to hint that I didn’t have any silverware. He asked me what else then I had to tell him that I needed utensils. Again I like the food. I ate half my dish and I wanted to take the rest. I had to wait more than 20 minutes with my plate half empty for somebody to ask me if I wanted the check.

I haven't went inside, but I did notice that young people do eat at this Restaurant/Cafe. It always well kept on the outside when I'm walking by. I guess after this quick survey I'll stop in soon.

The food was absolutely fantastic, workers were ok and the atmosphere was a bit dull and boring.

I have been going to Arepalicious for about 3 years now. The food has been consistently good. Obviously not everything is going to be everyone’s platter here but I can attest to their consistency when it comes to general quality of food. Eating in person is certainly a better experience than just taking the food home. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich has been my go to. It has been consistently good. The staff is very nice and friendly over the years regardless of the time of the day or how busy it is(They do get really busy sometimes). Other than the Grilled Chicken Sandwich I would recommend the Beef Empanada, Coconut Lemonade and Shrimp Arepacone.

Ive known this place for a while.
Service was pretty slow and platters come out randomly. In a party of four two of us got served then the third platter came out 7 minutes after and the last platter finally came about 13 minutes later. We got served by a lady and she is great no complaints about her one bit.

Their food is good but not excellent. Example is the chicharron it used to be meaty but I find they are serving the cuts with less meat. Steak was decent just needed a pinch of salt and pepper but it’s actually a good thing they serve it like this so you can add S/P to your taste. Salmon salad definitely needs work, the Salmon looked boiled not baked.

Pricing seems to be expensive if I compared it to say the restaurant “Tajadas” On Jamaica ave. But given today’s economy it is what it is.

Overall I think they should do an overhaul of its menu, serving amounts and food quality check in some things. Service from the kitchen definitely needs improvement. The restaurant wasnt full and food takes forever to come out, cant imagine if it were packed.

Last thing and this is nitpicking, the music the music the music… reguetton why? Horrible choice of music for a restaurant. Play some light indie music to soothe out the atmosphere. Also take into account Salsa music is player and some of the diners, are not Latin so this is why i suggest light Indie music.

I came here with me and my family for breakfast. The service was horrible. We wanted to order breakfast but they said that they didn’t serve breakfast after 12 pm, that’s fine but the issue is how are you gonna say that but serve other guests that came AFTER US what we were told no to. The waiter was just as confused to why the other guests were served breakfast. Then they got our order wrong after they took it we waited 20 more minutes for them to get the correct one and we didn’t get our hot chocolate for more then 30 minutes after we got our food. When we asked for a manager they said they’re not here yet. Great. So no solution to fix this horrible experience. Will definitely NOT BE COMING BACK. Mind you as we walked out other customers were also complaining about their long wait on their food.
