Excellent service, I tried the lulo juice and the soursop juice and they were divine. Those who serve are very nice and friendly and give the ñapa (extra juice)Although the arepa is from Venezuela and not from Colombia ? just kidding

I love this food cart. The ladies are so sweet and welcoming, the food is excellent, and I love dowsing everything in their garlic sauce. I truly feel the love in the food. I have no regrets eating like a fat kid here.

I just returned from a month in Colombia and the empanadas at this cart are better than any that I had in the whole country. Mind you I tried everything on their menu basically, the yucca fries, the plantain they have empanadas with beef and potato and the patacone with cheese, along with a couple of juices.Their patacone was delicious and the perfect line between crispy and soft. These were always a gamble in Colombia. Sometimes they would be so crunchy. Your teeth were hurt and other times they would be undercooked. This cart gets it perfect. I love it with just the cheese. It's simple and super delicious.I would definitely order that again, but the real stand out to me was the empanadas. They were perfectly lightly crisp, not greasy at all, and the filling was very well seasoned and flavored. It's also hard to find gluten-free empanadas anywhere else besides Colombian food so I love that. The ladies that were working, the cart were great and very helpful. The Arepas were pretty good with well seasoned meat, but I'm definitely more of a fan of Venezuelan Arepas with a lot of stuffing.Only change or feedback I request is to get rid of the lettuce on the items, and one day add Arepas de Chocolo with cheese to the menu because they haunt my dreams since I left--one week ago. Very authentic, try it you haven't visited Colombia or if you have!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

SOME OF THE BEST AREPAS I'VE EVER HAD!! It was so yummy and for such a reasonable price of only $9! I highly recommend this food cart to anyone in the area, I will definitely be back here often.

El Pilon is amazing - the patacon and arepas are equally delicious, and the owners are so friendly.
