Had the pork belly arepa, plantains, & the cane sugar juice with lime. The food was so great. The service was so kind. 100% will be back. I love arepas bc they are gluten free & corn is so yummy, & these do not disappoint esp with the medium spicy sauce. I already ate one piece of pork from this before I took the photo. The plantain cheesecake was really interesting & I would eat it again, esp with some espresso.

Severely underrated. Before I was introduced to Arepera by a friend, I unknowingly walked by this place many times without noticing it. Now, I cannot recommend this place enough. This is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. The sandwiches are incredible. It doesn't matter what you get off the menu, you will be happy with your choice. Service is great, the option to pay on your phone from the table exists, you can get takeout. The vibe inside the location is comfortable, & despite how busy it can get it never feels crowded. If you want food from Arepera (& you do!) you can get it.

Forget that this place is completely gluten free, the food was amazing! A fantastic tropical escape! On top of that, the service by Norah was wonderful.

This was a SUCCULENT meal. The arepas are simply delicious, the sauce they give you is to die for, & on top of that everything just happens to be fully gluten free. I had a chicken arepa with cheese, plantain & beans (Pabellón de pollo) & it was so good. They have a very large selection of vegetarian & vegan meals as well. The prices are also super fair. Very lively atmosphere, friendly service, will for sure be coming back!

Superbe restaurant, 100% sans gluten. Je le recommande hautement. Les sandwich sont excellent, les assiette encore mieux. Vous pouvez même acheter une bière pour boire sur la rue pendant que vous attendez votre place dans le restaurant.

Some of the best plantains I've had in a restaurant! I had been wanting to try arepas for the longest time & now I know I'll be craving it constantly. Their lime & sugar cane juice should also not be passed up.
