Reviews

First time in NOLA and my friend recommended this place from a prior visit.
The food was phenomenal, extremely fresh and flavorful, and so satisfying.
The portions were just right, and I didn’t leave feeling like I ate too much or too little.
The flavors were sensational. The service was outstanding as well.
We were seated right away, and our server was very attentive and so kind.
It was a great experience all around! I highly recommend!

Came on Tuesday, not very crowded.
Heard they'd won a lot of awards.
Well, it is good.
Very good.
The salad can feed 4 or more.
Each Arepas is generous, not really meant to be cut in half and shared, as is our habit. My wife and I often say, I'm torn between A & B, (I'm torn between B & A), so we order both & switch partway through.
Amusing sometimes seeing the faces on the wait staff. No Manhattans.
Cachasa or Rum cocktails here. Apparently there was recent road repaving causing parking issues.
We parked 20 feet to the door, no problem.

A fairly large group of us from out of town on vacation practically stumbled upon this restaurant by accident.
It was such an amazing dinner.
In our group's recap of our New Orleans' culinary adventures, including a few $$$$ establishments, I personally found Maïs Arepas the most amazing find.
Great food and cocktails were enjoyed by all.
And the entire staff was incredible.
