Excellent service, simple but very good vegan arepa! I wish the quantity was a little more generous, but it makes a good snack.

The food was delicious and full of cheese. Every part of the arepa was well seasoned and full of flavor. I ordered a cachapa Jr and it was much larger than I expected but a delicious combination of sweet and savory.

It's a shame that even though the food was very good, and so was the drink. Unfortunately the attention was not the best. The cashier does not emit any type of emotion on his face and is not uneducated either. They also didn't mention that we had to order at the register first, and they kept us waiting at the table for minutes, since there was no waiter. I would return, yes, but I hope that next time they will be more attentive.

Soo amazingly good. Fully gluten free with a lot of options. Don’t really know what was better the Arepas or the sauces that came with it. Both great. Will definitely come back and I recommend it to all!

Arepa was really good but took at least 45 minutes on a day that wasn’t particularly busy or anything…. Was going to dine in but had to leave to get back to work. I was excited to try this place but won’t be coming back

My credit card info was stolen twice in Lima and this shop was the only place that I used it both times. The food is good, but beware using a credit card here. Not sure if it was just a bad employee or if it goes higher than that.

Very tasty and large arepas with various fillings. Prices are rather high compared to Paracas.

A MUST EAT! The arepa itself is unreal. Perfectly formed, holds up (no crumbling) and is absolutely stuffed (photo is the remains of my arepa I had to wrap to go). Service was incredibly friendly and accommodating to our lack of Spanish. They explained the options and gave suggestions. The owner was lovely, chatting with us about his fathers recipe and all the ingredients he imports to make the arepas as good as they are! Excellent options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten free and a great price for how full we were! Come hungry, be treated like family.

It's a mistake nNot eating an arepa here, that is the mistake.nWe went on a Sunday at noon, when we arrived there was only one table but in a short time it became lively.nn nMy partner and I shared two arepas and a chicken empanada.nWe ate a very delicious “vegetarian pavilion” arepa with abundant filling, I was surprised because you could hardly close it, we also ate another one called “Pelua” with shredded meat and gouda cheese, with less filling but also very delicious.nTo close we tried the chicken empanada, with a spongy and crispy dough on the outside and a juicy and tasty filling.n To drink we ordered “papelón con lemon”, a typical Venezuelan drink that I particularly like a lot, different from any other soft drink I had tried before.nnThe premises are open to the street and have easy access.nHighlight the staff, fast and very pleasant.nn If you want to try some typical Venezuelan arepas or empanadas, it is a good point in Barranco.nn I recommend going, I will return
