Hemos cenado hoy por las resenas que tiene. Buen local amplio y grande. Hemos pedido empanadas domino y palitos de yuca buenísimo. Después dos arepas la llanera ( A4 ) y la reina pepiada ( A10 ). Y de postre la torta de queso con plátano. Muy bueno todo lo recomiendo.
Fresh & tasty. The meats were juicy & delicious. We tried the pork with black beans, plantain & feta cheese & beef, black beans, plantain, feta. I preferred the pork one. The empanadas were so crispy. Good, friendly service.

Delicious, crispy & tender arepas. Perfectly fried plantains. Added plus of gluten free empanadas that were highly delicious. Ooh & the cocktails & house-made juices were super yummy. Highly highly recommend for lovers of arepas & anyone avoiding gluten!
This place is an absolute delight! The music & musical decor are fun & exciting! The empanadas are delicious & served with both avocado & hot sauces! A delicious & delectable appetizer. I had the pulled pork arepa! It was wonderful with so many different flavors & textures! Everything is gluten free! You will be in heaven if you have celiac disease!
We love Arepas, & it's helpful they're a naturally gluten free dish. This restaurant is perfect because the entire kitchen is 100% gluten free. We enjoyed the empanada trio first, & then we each had an arepa for our entrée. I think our favorite was the one with chicken, beans, & plantains. Both the green & red sauces were delicious. No notes. A great place for a delicious gluten free meal.
I couldn't believe their entire menu was gluten free!! I had the arepa with beef, avocado & feta as well as empanadas & they were so tasty & seasoned well. The avocado sauce is also really good. Definately recommend this place for your gluten sensitivities!

Cool spot! Order from the table in the app then the food comes out! Beef empanadas were small but soooooo good with the hot avocado sauce it was delicious! My girl got a vegetarian domino arepa & rates it 9/10! Drinks are pretty good too! Ok bye
With prices soaring these days I paid about $9.8 to take out three empanadas. I think it's more than fair as it's not Kensington Market in Toronto where there's a lot more traffic & competition. The empanadas are fresh & in hindsight I should have gotten all cheese. Super yummy!
Ambiente amplo, aberto e ventilado. Bom atendimento. Pedimos de entrada o mix de empanadas (carne, frango e queijo). Para beber o mojito criolo. Para comer, provamos o arepa, pão da culinária venezuelana, feito artesanalmente, à base de milho (sem glúten), recheado com carne de porco e salada de abacate. Vem acompanhado de uma pequena porção de rúculas com molho de abacate. Estava tudo ótimo!
