Je suis allé pour un pick up vers 5:00 un vendredi soir il y avait peu de monde de la ma note pour l'ambiance. La nourriture était très bonne & le tout sans gluten. J' ai trouvé ça dommage de ne pas pouvoir commander & payer avant d'arriver & de devoir patienter sur place.

They have ripe fried plantains, which I've been craving. The arepa I had was great, & the salsas were tasty! But the plantains were the highlight for me.

I get the Domino Platano with Avocado every time. It's a really filling, affordable, & authentic vegetarian option always made fresh with the loveliest consistencies. It tasted divine when drenched in the chili & avocado sauces. Also such a cozy spot with fast & kind service.

Good prices, not that much choice though, & for me the vegetarian options weren't the best.

Totally recommend this place. They used to be on rue Duluth, but they have now moved to rue Prince-Arthur to a much more spacious location. Food is authentic & tasty. You can see that the owner keeps an eye on the service & the food quality, I think that is one of the reasons why they've been so successful. We have now moved to the Laurentides, but we always try to stop at the Arepera whenever we go downtown. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out!
