The ambience is great. The pork empanadas are too good - must try. The arepas are also nice, quite filling.

Excellent food.
I was hesitant about going to a gluten free restaurant but my sister is celiac. & I am so glad we did!
Everything was great!
I highly recommend the Empanadas.
We also had the pork belly platter & the pork & avocado sandwich. Fed the 3 of nicely (though if another empanada was there I would have gladly taken it down.)

I had a guarapita & my sister had the non alcoholic cane sugar & lime, both were lovely. My nephew had water & they kept on top of filling up the water.

I had such a great experience at Arepera & will definitely be coming back. As someone with celiac disease, it can be stressful finding places that are truly safe to eat at, but their 100% gluten-free menu made this such a relaxing & enjoyable visit. It's honestly rare to be able to order freely without second-guessing anything, & I really appreciated that.

The menu has a great variety of options, especially when it comes to arepas & empanadas. There were so many different flavor combinations to choose from, & everything sounded amazing. I also loved that they offer fresh juices, which added a really nice touch to the meal.

Everything we ordered came out quickly & at the perfect temperature. You could tell right away that the food was made fresh. I had the beef & cheddar cheese arepa, the cheese empanadas, a guava juice, & the coconut flan for dessert. Every single item was delicious, affordable, well-seasoned, fresh, & cooked perfectly. The arepa was especially satisfying & filling, & the flan was a great way to end the meal.

The service was also excellent. Our server was very polite, kind, & attentive, & gave some really helpful recommendations when we were deciding what to order. It made the whole experience feel even more welcoming.

Overall, this is a fantastic spot whether you're gluten-free or not. Highly recommend checking it out!

As empanadas de queijao sao INCRÍVEIS. A variedade de suco e os sabores me fez sentir novamente na América do Sul. As arepas sao boas, recomendo a de porco. Fizemos reserva, acredito que seja necessário.

C'est plus une cantine qu'un restaurant. Ce n'est pas un endroit romantique ou chaleureux. En fait, il y faisait même assez froid quand j'y suis allé.

Certain serveurs ne parlent pas bien français, donc difficile d'avoir leurs avis sur le menu ou de se faire comprendre quand on commande.
Édit: j'ai été très gentille & compréhensive avec les jeunes serveurs. & justement, pour ne pas les embarrasser, j'ai pris n'importe quoi car j'étais mal renseignée.

La nourriture n'est pas goûteuse.
Leurs empanadas sont petites (contrairement aux empanadas argentines) & je n'ai aimé que celles au boeufs. Donc 1 seule empanada sur 3.

Les prix sur le menu publié sur Google, sont inférieurs aux vrais prix.
Sur place c'est approximativement 1.5$/2$ plus cher.
Donc, ça reste abordable mais pas très bon.

Le sandwich Arepa, j'ai trouvé ça fade, lourd & froid.
Dans le mien, ils ont mixé du poulet (bouilli je crois. En tout cas pas rôti, ni frit, ni assaisonné) avec des avocats très froids (?!!) sans plus. Il n y avait donc pas assez de produits frais ou goûteux, pour que ça soit délicieux. Ça n'avait aucun goûts. & c'était plutôt pâteux.
Bref, pas bon.

Le tout pour un 33$ - je n'ai commandé ni de dessert, ni de boisson.

Comment ils ont obtenu des notes aussi élevée ? Mystère.

Je n'y retournerai pas. & je ne le recommande pas.

Plantanos con queso were excellent. Great pairing of the salty cheese with the sweet plantains. The empanadas were also delicious. We chose the pork & it was very nicely flavored. The arepas were delicious, very good portion. Margaritas were also quite tasty. We would definitely visit again. So nice to have a totally gluten free restaurant.
