Listen-I've been burned before by Latino pork & beef that turned out stringy & dry. But here? Their Pabellón & Suerna were so juicy & packed with flavor. The toppings were fresh & top-notch, & they even give you both a tangy avocado sauce & a spicy sauce-absolute perfection.

The arepas themselves? Perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, soft inside, & the ideal vessel for a generous, delicious filling. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area.

Great service & a nice place to grab dinner. Everything is gluten free. Food was a bit on the bland side & the salad on the side was quite a sad portion. The banana pudding was delicious & would highly recommend as a nice warm dessert!

Je n'ai rien à redire sur l'expérience vécu dans cet établissement. Tout était impeccable.

Note : pour les personnes intéressées, le menu en entier est sans gluten (même les desserts).
