Arepas Pues has such great reviews and high Yelp rating, so we were surprised to see that they were so dead on a Friday evening. Especially when all the restaurants in the area werepacked. The restaurant is on the smaller side. The dining room isn't very big and it isn't an open layout. There are two smallareas with some tables. Not the best layout for a restaurant. It feels a little stuffy and doesn't seem very handicapaccessible. We had Fried Egg Arepa Baked Chicken, Egg Cheese Arepa Carne Asada Entrée Arroz con Pollo Everything wasdecent. We weren't impressed. The best things were probably the Arepas. The main entrées weren't as good as we expected. Thepresentation was great. Portions were very generous. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. Service was good but a tadslow, especially for being not busy. Another table was seated a good 10 minutes after us but got all their food before us. Wedon't plan on coming back. Nothing really screamed out to us.

The first few times I came here it was pretty okay but the food was absolutely terrible tonight the service has CONSISTENTLY been declining. I will not recommend any longer. The food looked tasted like they justTHREW IT together. I absolutely did NOT appreciate the service tonight. Prior to coming in I wanted to place an order over thephone to pick up pay for upon arrival was told that I have to give my credit card number over the phone. Who trusts givingtheir card over the phone? Not me. That's pure madness. I told the girl that I'd be coming in I'd wanted my order preparedbefore my arrival. When I entered she whispered something to the only two women cooks present who looked at me presented mewith food that I my family) absolutely hated. I've patronized this business several times but it looks like they're no longerworth the investment from me or my family. The food tonight was bad.
