Never had a chicken chimmichurro arepa before, but it was fantastic! Credit card accepted, outdoor seating, nice and tasty!

Great food Everytime . Long wait though. Understandable only one cook. Was with them when they first parked in front of Costco. Happy that they have been doing more and more. and now they are getting a brick and mortar. Congratulations on the new location!!!!!!

Very good food and a neat atmosphere. All of the seating is outdoors, and there is a porta potty for the toilet. I will come back.

We stopped here based on reviews, as we were traveling through the area for an event. Totally worth the stop! The food was amazing! We thought we had a good Arepa joint near us…but this was next level. Parking is tricky, but still worth the trip!

Stopped by while on vacation in Amish Country's and this was easily the best food of our trip! We had the grilled steak and pernil arepa the portions and the flavors were generous. If we ar ever in the area again it is a must stop!Parking: Parking can be a little overwhelming. When we first arrived there were no available spots and multiple cars looking so we parking in the shopping center across the street. Once we walked over there was plenty of spots, seems to be a lot of people going in and out so it should be fine

AWESOME !!! This place is my favorite spot to get real Peruvian food. The quality and quantity of the food is top shelf fine dining without the hassle of a restaurant. GREAT !!!

All seating is outdoors, so pick a warm day to visit. I got takeout on a cold, windy & rainy day, so unfortunately the atmosphere reflected the weather

Everything about this place is 11/10 perfect. Flavors of the food are better than you’ll fine in the most expensive 5 star restaurant, and it’s nestled right in this little lot where the kindest staff make sure traffic flows in and out and everyone can find parking, to the staff inside taking orders with ease, to the staff replenishing and cooking up what I can confidently say is the best bite I’ve ever eaten. I had the pernil arepa and I wish I could eat it daily (not from around here). And ****completely 100% gluten free**** came here because of an allergy, left with an addiction to the entire experience.Dietary restrictions: 100% gluten free, allergy friendly, vegetarian options. An ACTUAL no gluten dining experience. Not a drop on the menu so it’s actually celiac and gluten intolerant friendly.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor kid friendly atmosphere for diningWheelchair accessibility: Flat lot, no stairs, tables to pull up to.

Supposedly one of the best 100 restaurants in America. It was good but definitely not top notch in my opinion and it's a good truck. I ordered the pernil arepa and so did my son which has more beans than pork. His girlfriend got a pork bowl and his friend got a bowl also. The atmosphere could be fun but today was a chilly, windy day, too cold to eat outside. A fire pit was going. And a port-o-potty for a bathroom. A Latino was with us and he didn't think it was "all that".

Highly recommend! We got 3 pernil arepas, a chimichurri chicken arepa, the brussels and plantains. Every last bite was delicious. We would definitely come back here when in the area.

This was good, smells great, looks good, Good flavor...but this is not a 5 star place. What is five star is the service, very kind people working and assisting customers. Maybe for Lancaster this is close to 5 Star, Or maybe I'm a big city boy being boogie...doubtful. Hers what you really want to know.... Would I recommend this place? YES. Didn't good taste good? YES. AND THE BIG ONE... Would I go back? Hmm...I can't say yes and I can say no, so maybe.

Ordered ahead and the food was ready to go when I arrived. I traveled an hour to try the food here, and didn't eat it before going home. That was ok, because the food traveled really well.The Inca Sprouts are insane, my one year old liked them. The pernil sandwich was incredibly flavorful, and I loved the aioli and chimi that was served with it. The chicken arepa was ok, as the first bite was filled with hard gristle. Decent flavor, though. Also, a tad bit more salt would have been perfect.Very craveable food. I have no problem with heading back to try more.
