Can't go wrong with any of the arepas , smothered in green sauce . The pernil is phenomenal. Brunch options are delicious, albeit a little insane

Just had amazing dinner from specials - Brussel sprout leaves with chorizo , beets , toasted almonds . Lentil and chorizo soup . Crab and lobster cake with roasted corn obviously from the cob. Delicious.

Erik Cintron

This place was great much bigger than it first open. It’s fun spot to come at anytime. Happy hour , brunch great bartender . The arepas are what there famous for and please get at least 3 amazing!

Rob Pratt

The pork dishes here are amazing - slow cooked for hours - melts like butter! Get anything with Pernil in the name - whether as an arepa or an entree. Pictured is the delicious Pork & Clams .

Justin Ordoveza

There is a wide a selection of empanadas and arepas , there are a lot of savory and sweet options. The tostones , fried plantains , are better than the fried yuca . There is outdoor seating .

Raul Reyes

First time there, we tried arepas (great), empanadas (ok) and sangria (great). Unfortunately we got there on a Sunday, lunch time and it was packed, but it was worth the wait. Love it!

Bri Flan

Great authentic food. Arepa and empanadas pictured. Our waiter was only okay, but the food made up for it. A lot of cocktails to choice from and a huge beer list . Burritos are huge.

Michael Gram

Try the Works to get some sides with an arepa and empanada of your choice. Pick anything that sounds good, you can't go wrong! I like the Cheeseburger empanada and the Reina (chicken salad ) arepa .

Cheapeats Inc

This has been on my must try's since seeing it on Diners Drive Ins & Dives. It did not disappoint. Hisbiscus Iced Tea with sugar cane & arepa with shredded beef . Yummmm!

Karl With A "K"

Love the food and service here, though know that it gets crowded here on the weekends. Also, try the empanadas cubano and the arepas as well !

Carol-Ann Lundy

OMG Yums on Yums on Yums. Get the Carlo Arepa . And the Cubano Empanada . Make that a combo with the rice and beans and platanos . Pair that with the expatriate drink. Life is now complete.

Nat-Tash L

Sundays feature a build your own Bloody Mary bar . Brunch come hungry and order the Hey Little Piggy. Salad de Casa and Margarita Salad . Classic pernil platter. Steak quesadilla . Expatriate to drink.

John Duarte

#1. You must eat here. #2. Eric was an amazing bartender who made the experience just as great as the arepas and the empanadas . Just to warn you, you will want to come back!

Wil S

Cash only . Best arepas and empanadas . Get the Works for a taste festival of South America. Best to go off times due to its popularity and limited seating . Take out may be the best option.

Kingsley Younger

Featured on Unique Eats. The Arepas (best seller is Carne Machada) are corn crepes stuffed clam shell-like with chicken , beef or pork and look rather good. They are like Venezuelan version of tamale .

Eric Tang

Stopped for a quick lunch on our way from a New York to Boston, the staff is so friendly and the food is so delicious that we decided to make this a tradition.

Rhianna Jameson

The Aphrodite arepa is AMAZING. Great vegetarian option , I love getting it as an arepa combo. Both sauces are awesome too!!

Jared

Everything is delicious. First timers should get "the works" which allows you to choose multiple things. Drown everything in the green sauce too

Kingsley Younger

The sauce Guasacaca looks like an amazing sauce to be used on the arepas . Made of blend of vegetables , cilantro , lime and olive oil .

John

the buffalo-style atlantic salmon tacos with citrus slaw was amazing! first time there, and definitely coming back. i also had chorizo empanada . also good.

Alex Hennessey

The arepas are delicious but don't overlook the Chi Cha-- basically a rice pudding milkshake ; AMAZING.

Darcie Muro

All the food is great. I love the condiments. I don't know what the green sauce is but it's great on almost everything.

Iuliia S

Cuban sandwich to die for! And chilled avocado soup is great for summer

CTbites

Get here early, and order arepas , ceviche and the steak al parilla. If you're like me, you can also season liberally with the house chipotle sauce they put on every table.

Tyler Reardon

The Domino and Real Deal Arepas are amazing and great prices as well . the sauces are also a neccesity to be put on everything

Dean Harris

Love this place. The food and the vibe are excellent t. It was featured on The Food Network for good reason.

Michael Gram

Noon-1pm and 6-7pm are extremely busy, and reservations are only accepted for parties of 6 or more. I strongly recommend an early or late meal.

Natalie

Delicious arenas. Get a few, split them in half and share!

Willys

One of the best lunch places in the area, and with a much more spacious new location.

Doris Hu

The empanadas are better than the arepas ! Pass on the guacamole with crab meat . Fun location, great vibes.

John Duarte

Great Cocktails . Love that they focus on new flavors and new age mixology .

Rob Pratt

Mixed meat platter is insane - bring your appetite!

Michelle C.

MSN Food names The Domingo Arepa (spinach , bacon , onion and queso ) as one of the top 10 foodie reasons to visit the east coast

Andrew Gargiso

The arenas and the empanadas are cheap and delicious. Get a fruit juice with your meal

Nancy Prestigiacomo

Come here with a good appetite. Food is great. Place is crowded a lot so you may want to plan out coming here

Tamara D

I liked all of it great fun atmosphere

Skip Ploss

Venezuelan beach food that is not to be missed. Bring cash. Great stuff as seen on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (it is actually non of those but that's ok).

Roy Lenahan

This place is awesome- great empanadas , arepas , burritos , perfect for Sunday brunch .

Andrew Knight

Everything was awesome especially the Oaxaca Cheese Steak that I ordered with the yucca fries !

Michael Gram

Ask for a side of green sauce with your to-go box!

Stephen Perle

Get the arepas grilled not fried likewise for the empanadas . But any stuffing is great

Alex

Pay 10 dollars for a margarita , but the amount of ice is at 2 thirds versus the drink. Also empanadas are the best they offer

Rob Pratt

Chipotle chicken burrito - solid. Not the best nor the biggest, but solid.

Lenny Gallo

Arepas are what's worth ordering on this extensive menu, but if you're here for Sunday brunch , you must try the eggs benedito's.

Jon B.

The lobster benedito was excellent.

Chris Davis

The eggs benidito is amazing. Finally, a restaurant that knows how to consistently poach a good egg !!

Anyuli Guevara

Margarita and Cheeseburger empanada are really great!

Stephen Smith

Like a beach café . Enjoy an outdoor table if it is not too hot.

Nancy Prestigiacomo

Try the banana chocolate chip bread pudding or the flan for dessert . Both were delicious.

Adam Becker

"Real deal" arepa (chorizo & mozzarella ) & "cubano " empanada were delicious.
