Love the empanadas! And arepas. Big fan, a slice of South America in DC. The beef was a bit dry but everything else was delicious, will give the beef another try or go for other options

The food was amazing. I got a chicken arepa and it was really good. I've had many different arepas in my life and this was very authentic. I will definitely be coming back.

THE best, most authentic Arepa in DC Metro area. Always juicy and good portion size. I could eat here every single day. Thank you for bringing this food into my world!

This restaurant was a lovely little discovery. I ate my first arepa there on Sunday (shredded beef and cheddar cheese filled), then returned with my sister who was visiting from out of town on Thursday. She had a dish with toasted smashed plantains and it was wonderful. Will be back.
