The meat in the arepas was very dry, they needed to provide more sauce or braise the meat, or something. The choclo arepa was a charcoal disc. Literally blackened on both sides. I can't believe that the owner would have served something like that, it was inedible. He tried to tell me that was how it was made (it was totally charred and looked nothing like the picture on the menu, and was also gross to taste), but clearly he wasn't paying attention when cooking, it got burned, and he was hoping I wouldn't notice. I'm extremely annoyed that when I brought it back to him he tried to pretend that it was my perception that was off, rather than him owning up to a mistake. If he had just been honest and had taken 5 minutes longer to make the food correctly and had admitted that he was inattentive and had messed up the first time, then I would not have bothered writing this negative review right now. .Won't be going back unless they improve.

My arepa was pretty good! I think the owners were struggling a little bit keeping up with orders, but the food was good. Worth giving them a shot :)
