Review by Maryjane Christiansen

I recently stopped by The Arepa Place, and I’m so glad I did! 🌟 The chicken empanada and steak and cheese arepa were absolutely delicious - simple yet full of flavor. I love that they have bulk frozen options for a quick meal at home! The casual vibe makes it perfect for any meal, and the outdoor seating is such a nice touch.

Just a heads up, while the service was great overall, one staff member seemed a bit curt. But the rest of the team was friendly and welcoming! I’ll definitely be back to try more... 🍽️
