We couldn’t decide which dish on the table was our favorite. I’ll be dreaming of the Masa Gnocchi for months. And the House Fries and Beef Arepas were also delicious.

Leandro Lagera

Exactly the kind of restaurant I love. Hip , casual and full of pretty people. The food is outstanding and eclectic with influences from several types of cuisine but remains strongly rooted in Latino.

Stuffed arepa was pretty good. Pricey , though. Order at the bar & seat yourself, which is unclear at first. Still figuring things out (lady @ the register didn't know what an arepa was). Worth a try.

Adam Johnson

The veg dish w/ tomatoes , butter lettuce , corn and chickpeas was incredibly flavorful: crisp lettuce with melt-in-your-mouth tomatoes and mild feta compliment the contrasting chickpea/corn textures.

Mac

Trendy and casual establishment, with an excellent staff . You can order and pay completely contactless from your table.

Lis R

Love that they are open all day long. A good place to do some work, grab some decent bites, and switch into a drink later.

Great relatively spacious and funky coffee / normal bar . Food is ok, coffee is great, and atmosphere is spot on

A little overpriced but great service and ambiance. Get the egg arepa for breakfast .

Good stop - especially for breakfast . Coffee is above average and the breakfast arepa is tasty. Feels a little pricey overall.

Go for the nitro coffee and a slice of toast with Maldon Salt and Nutella. Or wait until Sunday when creme brûlée french toast hits the menu. 100% worth it. - David DyTang
