I believe I chose the house sauce, which was also very good, although I didn't end up using much of it because the rumbera was so delicious on its own. The Fried Arepitas were also amazing, and I couldn't even finish them because they were so filling. Lastly, I tried the Papelon with Lemon and it was absolutely delicious – I definitely need more of that drink. The only reasons I didn't give 5 stars were that there was no ice in my drink, making it warm, and the cheese in the Fried Arepitas wasn't fully melted, giving it a slightly rubbery texture. Despite these minor issues, I would definitely order from here again. Yum Yum!

The Pabellon arepa was tasty, especially with the delicious sauce it was served with. The Torta Tres Leches was outstanding, but I wished for a larger portion as it was quite small. As for the Passion Fruit drink, it was mediocre and lacked sweetness.

The food is good, but my experience with the young server was extremely disappointing. The service was quite poor on his part. read more The food is good, but my experience with the young server was extremely disappointing. The service was quite poor on his part.

The arepas are great (better eaten on location than carry out)...but still great either way! Total Hidden Gem! Note: it's in a Food Court in the Mall. Park by LearningExpress Toys to reduce walk time.
