The place is pretty good, the Arepas are their specialty & they're pretty good. Service is nothing out of the ordinary, no complaints. The place is in a nice area & the wall decorations are amazing 👏

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.

Très bon sandwich. A prendre seul & sans entrée car très décevante. Vus serez trop plein pour profiter de votre plat principal. Jus "exotique" semble venir du supermarché. Table trop espacés, ce qui éteint une amibance qui aurait pu être plus chaleureuse. Au final, si vous y aller pour chercher un arepas, vous serez satisfait. Service rapide & efficace.

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!
