Les avis mettent en avant des arepas, des bols et des soupes savoureux, des portions généreuses et des prix abordables, ainsi qu'un service chaleureux qui donne une impression d'authenticité latino et d'ambiance colombienne. La nourriture est décrite comme délicieuse, fraîche et copieuse, avec des saveurs latines authentiques et des combinaisons viande sauce bien équilibrées. Certaines expériences signalent des points négatifs comme un plat trop salé, une commande incomplète et des incohérences qui ont laissé certains clients déçus. Dans l'ensemble, L'Arepa Express est perçu comme une option de street food latino-américaine savoureuse et accessible, avec de fortes impressions positives et quelques lacunes de qualité à améliorer.
I'm sorry to write this, as the main restaurant has long been one of my favorites-even my choice for birthdays. A friend of mine had recently mentioned that their quality had declined, but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Having been there many times, I've always wanted to try the criollo bowl, which is similar to the'pabellón.' Today I finally ordered it, & what a disappointment. The beans tasted like canned beans instead of the regular black beans served at the main restaurant, & it didn't come with a lot of beans or cheese on top like in the restaurant. About 80% of the dish was just rice, & about half of the supposed highlight-the shredded beef-came as a large lump that wasn't even shredded. It seemed more like a greasy piece of beef skin than proper meat. I don't like returning food, so I ate what I could & threw away the rest (including the lump of beef). I truly hope the quality improves, because I've always enjoyed the main restaurant in the past.
Terrible! They were part of Les Premiers Vendredis summer food truck edition & it was the worst experience I've had with a restaurant in a long time.
They were fast - I'll give them that. But I was craving a little something, so I figured, why not try the Latin poutine?
It was just okay, but the sauce was ice cold, making it barely edible. I brought it up politely, but they made me feel bad for even mentioning it. Still, they gave me a second one… & it was even worse.
It was honestly disgusting - we didn't eat it. There were maybe five fries, no cheese, barely any meat, & it was drowned in cold sauce. The sauce felt like chilled oil.
We paid $10 total for that poutine & even tipped $3, only to receive the worst, tiniest poutine imaginable. Looking back, we should've just kept the first one, because the second one tasted like hate in a cup.
Serving a cold poutine in Québec should be unacceptable.
Beautiful restaurant with delicious flavours of Venezuelan & Colombian cuisine. Maria & Robin are hospitable & love what they're doing. Definitely a must try!
Order arrived incomplete. This restaurant is called l'arepa & misses the arepa in your orders! The second item arrived also incomplete. Please contact the clients if for any reason, you don't have all the items indicated in the menu. Frijolada tastes nothing! Las time with this resto.
Recomendado 100%, desde el primer bocado, pude notar la autenticidad y el sabor casero de los platos. Probé las arepas y las empanadas, y ambas fueron absolutamente deliciosas. El servicio fue rápido y eficiente, ideal para aquellos días en los que necesitas una comida deliciosa pero no tienes tiempo para cocinar. Además, el personal fue muy amable y atento, asegurándose de que mi pedido estuviera correcto y bien empaquetado.
