This was one of those rare restaurant experiences where the owner - Mike - was readily available and interacting with guests. He is a great guy, and his passion for the food was palpable. Speaking of the food, hands down the best arepas we’ve had in more than a decade. That’s spanning LA, Denver, Seattle, Phoenix - all the way to Nashville Tennessee. Everything is made in house and tastes every bit as fresh as you could imagine. Also, they have in house made Jamaica, horchata, and Papelon (which that alone was worth the visit for!). Worth going a little out of the way for, and such a good deal! We will be back many times!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Thanks TikTok! Absolutely delicious. Outstanding customer service. I loved the burrito from the secret menu. The sauces are amazing and soooo flavorful. The churros are made from scratch. I can’t wait to go back. My friend got a chicken taco and a empanada and loved it. My other friend got the Arepa and loved it. Definitely going back. The pictures do not do the food justice!!!!! Two thumbs up.

Fresh, local and authentic. Had never tried an empanada or achiote and both were delicious. All items were made fresh when ordered. We tried pork, steak and chicken tacos along with some churros. Our favorite was the shredded beef empanada.
