“ Been wanting to go here for a while and finally made it in. The food and service were both absolutely phenomenal. My wife and I both had the pabellon arepa, and I got the pork one as well. The flavor was beautiful with the spice of the beef contrasting with the sweetness of the plantains, and the arepa itself had the perfect texture. It was our first time in, and when they brought out the food, they also gave us two tequenos to try, and those were also delicious. Can’t wait to go back! ”
