This was a place I used to enjoy visiting. Unfortunately, during my last visit I went with my autistic child, who only eats certain foods. I made the mistake of not thinking thoroughly about the situation, & I didn't expect that my child eating a small slice of pizza would become such a big issue. They asked us to leave immediately. We could have left without questioning it, but explaining this to my child triggered a major crisis that lasted more than an hour. My issue with this place was the complete lack of empathy for the situation. Only at the very end, when we were finally able to leave, the owner tried to make amends by offering an arepa to go. Good try, but not enough to make up for the overall bad experience.

Un restaurant offrant des plats du Venezuela délicieux. Le restaurant était presque plein en plein milieu de la semaine. Le
Menu est varié, bon choix de jus, cocktails & des assiettes complètes ou des arepas rembourrées. Ils ont des choses hautes pour les enfants. Je recommande fortement cette place pour la qualité, son ambiance & son service exceptionnel. Un merci particulier à Juan.

So I've been coming to this place since around 2014-2015, back when it was a hole in the wall. Have been at least a few times a year ever since & have recommended it to dozens of people, & I'm sad to say that the last couple years this place has been seriously lacking. Their staple dish & the only thing I've ever had there, the arepas, now lack flavour. Underseasoned, dry meat, undersalted, bread undercooked/not cut properly, fillings unevenly distributed, sauces on the arepa too watery. It wasn't this way once upon a time. I have also had less than edible greens in the included mini salad twice across 5 visits in the last two years (once wilted & brown, the other time a small amount of mold). I would love to give this place five stars but they need to up their game. Sadly, this last visit will probably have been be my last. The arepas used to be a 10/10 & are now probably a 6/10. I have tried almost all of them. Some simple fixes can make a huge difference. The staff is polite & the space is casual, open & inviting.

Been a couple times to this restaurant & am a huge fan! I love the arepas here & all the flavour choices. We also tried the empanadas to start & a delicious dessert to finish. They also serve awesome local gluten free beer. I will come back to eat here again every time I visit Montreal!

We ordered the arepas because we need gluten free food for the family. The arepas were excellent, fluffy, fresh & lots of meat. We will order again, the expetience was so good. The food arrived promptly & everything we ordered was there. Nice.
