- Santi AmayaJune 7, 2015The arepas are small for the price they charge and though the flavor combinations sound amazing in theory, I'm constantly underwhelmed with the flavor
- Joshua WinataNovember 17, 2011The Panelling would definitely be my top recommendation. Love the sharp cheese and mellow plantain flavors.
- Ignacio FinolMarch 27, 2012It gives me an authentic taste of home, however it's cramped/understaffed. I think they're actually trying to suppress demand. Go to the Brooklyn one if you can. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

- Ann LongAugust 10, 2010Papelon, the perfect summer drink. #20 arepa, the La Surena. Obleas, tiny bit of dulce de leche sandwiched between 2 wafers, a tiny piece of heaven in every bite.
