The food was delicious and the portions were huge!!! The atmosphere was hectic even early in the Sonday morning. But I will recommend here for a quick breakfast. Also tons of vegetarian and gluten-free options!!

Lately quality of Arepa has gone down. It's Bad. Like really. It was my go to place bellevue and udistrict. Yesterday we ate Chica and #7 plantain and yucca, arepa combo. Taste was okay. Plantains was a little worse. My husband got diarrhea and I got celiac disease. I am not allergic to gluten. But there was food poisoning. 😕 I didn't take any pictures since I come here every weekend. The Mango lemonade Is not what it used to be. They usually ask how it was. Wait time was insanely long this time around 30 mins. Usually it's pretty early. That totally okay. But food quality is what I am extremely disappointed with. 🤒

Delicious, though small portioned dishes with quick service make for a tasty experience, but be prepared for a bit of a splurge.

Food was super tasty but the portions were pretty tiny. $24ish for like..6 ravioli. Mind you they were good ravioli, but I dunno if they were worth $4 each... Service was excellent and the food came out fast. A lot of respect for catering to a gluten free crowd as my girlfriend is allergic and they were very accommodating. They advertise they are NOT a gluten free kitchen so cross contamination might be possible if you're particularly sensitive, but we were just fine. Would recommend!
