They have an enclosed back patio that’s nicely lit and warm! Food was great!! My arepa was about $10 and my husband’s sandwich was $20! But it was very big and he ate half and ate the other half for dinner lol

I've never had this good of a food before! I had "The Bomb Burger" filled with so many different flavors and it's just amazing.
The atmosphere here was incredible as well.
The food really feels like it's made with care and love and the wait time is very little. This is a great place for a date or bringing your family for a great meal! I enjoyed it so much! You will too!

Overall Thoughts: I was excited to try this spot as it had a lot of good reviews.
Unfortunately, the pabellon arepa I ordered was a miss.
I’m still keeping it at 4 stars because the vibes were good and I’d be open to coming back to try the diverse selection of other items on the menu.
The restaurant interior is cute and had a good amount of seating inside.
The service was also quick and friendly.
The prices seemed a little high for the portion size, but reasonable overall. Food I tried: - Pabellon Arepa (3.6/5): This is their most popular arepa, but it fell short for me.
It was difficult to eat it as a handheld because the arepa was too brittle and crispy, so everything kept falling out.
The meat was a little tough and I wish the cheese was more melted.
Otherwise, the plantains were good and everything was flavorful. - Cachapa (4.2/5): I also tried some bites of my the cachaca, which was pretty good.
It was sweet, dense, and piled high with cheese. — Price (relative to peers): 4.2/5 Food: 3.7/5 Ambience: 5/5 Service: 4.8/5 Overall Value: 4.2/5
