We came on a Friday night for dinner. The arepas were nice fresh and fluffy. Meats all had great flavors and the sirloin was tender. Very filling but a great meal overall. Our server was attentive and answered all our questions during ordering. Love to come back and try other dishes!

I have been a customer of this establishment for many years. During my most recent visit, while dining inside the restaurant, two roaches crawled directly across our table.
We immediately trapped one of the roaches under an empty glass and notified the manager, expecting immediate removal of the insect and proper sanitation of the area. Instead, the manager retreated to the back of the restaurant, remained on the phone, and did not return to address the issue at any point — despite a live roach remaining on our table.
Only after we requested the check did the manager reappear, prompted by the waitress. We made it clear that we were not seeking a discount or compensation. We expected acknowledgment, accountability, and basic health-code protocol. The manager dismissed the situation by stating, “These things happen,” while the roach was still alive and visible under the glass!! Never came over to move us or kill the roaches.
This response was unacceptable. While pests in NYC are not unheard of, roaches actively crawling on a dining table and management refusing to intervene is not normal, acceptable, or compliant with health standards.The lack of urgency, sanitation, and professionalism reflects a serious breakdown in food safety practices.
As a long-time customer, I am deeply disappointed. This incident warrants review and re-inspection by the NYC Department of Health.

I liked the food, but the atmosphere at night is very dark. Also, they included the tip, although I suppose it should be optional depending on the service and other factors, but oh well, every restaurant has its own rules.

No soups? Apparently a place to drink. Arepas were delicious.

I went here with friends for the bottomless brunch and it was really worth it. The bottomless brunch is only $20 but does not include the price of the food of course. The arepas are really delicious and they have a nice selection of drinks. The service was also good so you don't have to wait long if you want a refill.

Ordered the Arepa choclo with Chorizo, and was blown away by the taste. Chorizo was very flavorful, had a nice sweet taste. Choclo was great, but surprised there wasn't enough of it to actually fill the arepa. Arepa was the best part, it was fluffy yet had a bit of a thin crust. Kind of like a sweet pancake, but much better. For almost $17, it's not much food, was more of an appetizer. Definitely needed more choclo to make it full. Delicious though, and take out guy was very friendly. Only took ten minutes to get it to go. Still thinking about it the next day.

it was my first time trying this specific restaurant I heard it was good so I decided to go. I honestly i think $15 for a arepa de choclo when it isn’t even that big is not worth it. I had to get an arepa after and it wasn’t worth 15 either plus i found a hair in it. The food was OK. Would I go back? No

$20 for an arepa and this is how it comes? Save your money and go somewhere else.

Let the staff guide you through the large menu of arepas, and thanks to Lucho for helping my craving for steak and avocado settle on Arepa de choclo carne asada! The white sangria is a bit sweet and the red sangria more dry. Good side sauces include a sweet pineapple salsa and a creamy lime garlic. Thank you Arepa Lady!

A really beautiful place to have Colombian cuisine, the cheese arepas were on the sweeter side rather than savory but had incredible flavor. Service was also quick and provided recommendations on parking and things to do in the area. Overall recommended place for visits and a quick meal.
