Amazing Cafe Cubano and Colombian treats. The texture of their empanadas and arepas is world class.
Their arepas and food are amazing. However, their service is absolutely mediocre! They took 25 minutes to take our orders. There were 4 employees behind the counter just talking and chilling. Sucks when great food restaurants have bad service!
Great food! Staff are incredibly nice. Even though we waited a little long for our food, they more than took care of us.
I definitely recommend this restaurant! I came to have some breakfast and the arepas were fresh. I’m not much of a coffee drinker but their regular coffee was light and sweet- delish! Service was quick and delightful as well.
Beware if you order for delivery or take out. I recently ordered their Bandeja Arepalicious from this place for take out as I often do. When I got to my house I was surprised to see that one of the orders was missing 3 items. Thinking it would have been human error I gave them a call. The person on the phone, who has seen me there often, said that she would ask her manager to give me some kind store credit. After asking in the kitchen she was told that they double checked my order before closing it which shows that it was no accident. In my opinion the omissions we done on purpose since the dish that I ordered is sort of a sampler of several different Colombian dishes.
Waiter took down the wrong order, and we were still charged for food that we did not want in the first place. Asked for the order again and a different order was given again.Extra 3.5% charge if you use debit/credit card.Had to ask for ice water 3x, half hour later, waiter only brought 1 cup (theres 4 of us), had to ask again, waiter brought 2nd cup.Does not accept Groupon print-outs. Waitress lied about the print-out missing a code. Asked to see the Groupon coupon on the phone and she tapped the redeemed button on my phone. She didnt even ask if she can have permission to touch my phone.
This is definitely a hidden gem!I had the Arepa sampler and the cono with a passion fruit juice.My friend has the Arepa de chicharron and a hot dog with an apple soda. The food was delicious! We were stuffed and all we had were appetizers!I could eat 10 of the mini arepas and never have enough. They’re soft and gooey on the inside with just the right amount of sauce and toppings. The service could get better as our server never checked on us. But, the flavor is SO there! The place is also very clean and presentation is a big thing to me so I definitely appreciate the time they take to make sure the food is presentable.I could come here everyday and never get tired of it. Too bad I gain weight by just looking at food 😩
The food here is delicious! Ive tried the chicken and beef arepa cone. I decided to open it up though because all the guac was at the bottom. I ended up evening it out so I could get a bite of every flavor. The Colombian hot dog was so different with the pineapple on top. Chicken empanada was great and I also bought a side of white rice. The chimichurri sauce and pink sauce was the best I ever had.
Excellent food and service. Server Denisse was on point and paced our dinner well. You can tell they take pride and care into their meals. Loved the tostones rellenos.
I had been wanting to come eat at Arepalucious for quite some time. I file them on Instagram and the food they post looks delicious. It was almost a 1hr trip for me to get there. Its a good location and I found parking right away. It is a bakery, but has a seating area for you to eat there. They have so many options on their menu, youll have a hard time choosing what you want. I ended up ordering the platter (good for 2-3 people) to share with my partner, which brings a variety of items.... since I had trouble deciding what I wanted, this was my best option. We also ordered a couple of beef soups, which we were later told, that there was only enough soup for 1 serving, so we ended up ordering a chicken soup (1 and 1). After a while, the waiter comes out and tells us that there wasnt any beef soup left, so we just ordered the chicken soups. The chicken soup was hearty, a bit bland, but I finished it. The platter looked amazing. I loved the presentation and variety of items. Unfortunately, all our meats were cold, as if it had been sitting there for a long time. This was such a downer for us. Only the fried items were hot as if freshly made. The 3 sauces/sides it comes with were delicious. As with the soup, I felt that the meats were bland as well. The beans were also bland, so I just think they go very light on seasoning their foods. I ordered a pan queso (cheese bread) that was freshly baked, to take home (which I had to go back for cause they forgot to give it to me). Overall, I think the food was decent. We werent crazy about the food enough to come back, but we just might come back in the future to try the burgers. I must say that their Coconut Lemonade was so good... its a strange combination but it will surely wake up your taste buds. Go visit for yourself... maybe your visit will be better than mine.
Food was amazingly delicious very fresh nice and clean presentation. Great custumer service it feels like you belong there you definitely have to try the arepa de pollo with avocado. The great thing about this restaurant is the freshness starting from the juices. And omg i got a tres leches dessert in a cup which is awesome definitely coming back here as often as I can.
Food was amazing! Tasted like eating my grandmas home made Colombian food. Huge portions for a great price too! People complain about long waits but honestly it’s worth it - that’s how you know you’re eating fresh food! This isn’t a fast food restaurant!! It’s real food!!!! Place makes you feel at home as well - everyone needs to try it out!!🤤❤️
Food was amazing and you get alot
Poor quality in there food. Stick to the arepas at least they know how to make that. Lady said they cant make steak and onions but they can make chicken with onions. I ordered the steak. Pure fat and under cooked. Got some platanos. Smh. Not even edible
I tried the food a few times, every time I ordered something different and it is always delicious!!The staff is friendly as well .I will recommend the ceviche with chicharrón it is amazing.
MISSING ITEMS IN _PAID_SEALED BAG!!!! Poor customer service, poor delivery of food, undercook meat, definitely had better empanadas and overly cooked yuca fries DRY AF!!!. shame on me for ordering again.. Anyone has recomendations on BETTER more AUTHENTIC Colombian food??!
2 person appetizer platter is good. I would buy again.
Loved the food the first time, I had arepas, empanadas, chicarron... The second time a had finished work and went by for some empanadas purchased 4 and one of them was not fresh at all. I told the server. The 3rd. Time I visited the restaurant I was on my way home, I bought chicharrones, I asked them please well done crispi, crunchy... One or two pieces were crunchy the rest were not I couldnt eat them. I think my first impressions gave a good experience so I keep on going back but that is the difference between a 5 ⭐to a 3 ⭐. In this case I know the food can be great but I guess when you order to go the food is not the same.Definitely a place to go, great service family environment too.
The pork skin arepas with guacamole were sooo good! Seemed like good classic homestyle food.
What disappointment looks like - old fries and 3 pieces of old hard chicharrones. I would give you 0 stars if I could. Why would you think it’s even acceptable to sell this to someone?
This spot was closed for a while for renovations but glad they opened back up. Food is good and they present it well.. welcome back!!
This place is very clean and staff is very pleasant. Food is very good , the only issue is the staff take too long to bring you food to the tables and to ask you if need anything else.
Used to be amazing but lately the food is under cooked and they are always forgetting something. Especially the guacamole that comes with the meal.
Stop for the silly name, stay for the nice environment and amazing food. Everything I ordered was indeed Arepalicious
Was pleasantly suprised how good the arepacone was . Absolutely delicious
The food and service is wonderful, the prices are unbeatable, and the variety of options wow just wow. This is my favorite place to eat at, definitely would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Great place !!! Nice set up — open spaces nice looking dishes big and safe parking space on the back
Food was good. No ac. Place is small
Place is amazing . Food was excellent. Looking foward to be back .... Thanks Dany .
Excellent customer service. Food was a bit greasy but, still very good. I ordered a bandjea paisa. Very delicious & feed 2 people. I also ordered an Arepalicious Burger. I didnt try it but, look so juicy.
The fries were good but it took like 50 minutes to get an order of fries and one arepa.. also we ordered two arepas and they forgot about one of them and we weren’t going to wait another hour to get it so i just didn’t eat lol. they also only gave us one coffee when we ordered two
We tried several things. All of the food was tasty and delicious. The blended fruit drinks were also great. Will definitely get food from here again.
This place was very very good but they’re been going downhill recently. Not as many choices as before and service is terribly slow now.
Everything is delicious hard to choose 1 thing. The employees are nice. Very nice place.
Service was great but their empanadas were the worst Ive ever had!You can tell that they freeze them overnight and either refry them or reheat them up under that heat lamp.Empanadas were stale, hard and chewy, tasted rubbery.... And they only give two picantes for four empanadas?!?!?
Food has always been amazing every time Ive ordered to go or ate in. Staff is very friendly and makes sure your visit is seamless. Will continue to eat here for years, love me an Arepalicious burger
I was like realllyyy excited to try their food because it looked like a nice place, but wow what a disappointment. Placed an order for delivery. I got tostones with guacamole and shredded chicken. First of all it looked unappetizing and tasted funky.. I also got the burger with mozzarella and guacamole which was just a complete mess. And the fries i had to throw away, because they were so greasy it was inedible. Sad
I can’t comment on the food because after waiting for a very long time I never got it. Service was atrocious, the restaurant wasn’t busy at all, therefore, the terrible service provided at this place couldn’t be justified and it’s unacceptable. This is the first time I’ve ever walked out of a restaurant and I tend to be patient, reasonable and understanding because I’ve worked at restaurants myself. And to top it all off the AC supposedly was not working. As I’ve mention previously, the restaurant was not busy at all and there were at least five people working in the back and yet they were incredibly slow with the service.It’s disappointing because I’ve had their food at the Queens Night Market a couple of times before covid hit and was looking forward to eating at the restaurant but this experience definitely changed my perception of this restaurant.To management: either retrain your staff or fire those who are not working out at all. Their hurting your business and it’s a shame because based on my experience at the Queen Night Market your food has potential.
**Ordered takeout during COVID pandemicFood/drink*El Arepalicious Burger (Beef patty, grilled steak, guacamole, mozzarella cheese) with french fries - patty was either cooked or seasoned poorly; fries were soggy but both dipping sauces were good*Mini Arepa Sampler (Beef, chicken & guacamole) - good; chicken was my favorite
Nice little spot to hop in and have traditional plates. The arepas are to die for, has an old school dinner vibe with friendly staff.
Worst place ever. I use to love going to eat here with my family, Im not sure what changed. Go somewhere else. The food isnt good anymore, the staff is rude. I placed a to go order and ended up missing half my food. I have to fight for a refund for food that THEY FORGOT to pack. Take your money, and go somewhere else.
Love the food and the coconut lemonade..the guy who served my husband and me is a sweetheart !! I forgot to ask him his name but he had a tattoo on his arm tell him he is a beautiful person.
Meat was rubbery, there were flies in one of their pastry case, service was slow and the actual arepa was just a piece of pita bread! Also not to mention very pricey! Will not be returning.👎
Good food, nicely platted. We ate in and ordered out. The owners are very conscious of dietary restrictions and offer a great variety of food for all. Ordered Empanadas for take out, they travelled well and they are nicely filled. Their spicy sauce and Arepas are very very delicious.
First time there today. Loved it. Shared the skirt steak with shrimp yellow baby baked potatoes cheese arepa and white rice with red beans and couldnt finish it. Also a great selection of Colombian goodies and pastries. Will definitely be going back.
Its a amazing place as a local restaurant or for someone to be ordering out from them, their American hamburgers were spot on, and they have a cheesy steak fries with a secret sauce which is to die for, 11/10 would recommend for others
Its the second time my husband nd my little girl visit the place and we dont regret at all . The all food is delicious and the passion fruit juice with milk marvelous!!!! My bebe feliz comiendo morcilla y arepa !!!
The skirt steak was not very good. It had no sear to it at all. The sauteed onions were very raw. The beans, however, were delicious. The empanadas were very tasty. I think Id go back just for that.
The have great food here. I usually get the pork belly cheese filled Arepa with guacamole and its my favorite thing on their menu.
Placed order of a couple little appetizers arepas and empanadas at 740 pm and we live 5 blocks away- it’s 9pm and I’m still waiting for my food. Very slow service. Food is ok but if you feel like waiting 1.5 hours for your food then ok but if you are hungry this is not the place for you.
Really great restaurant. The food is fresh and the portions are large and the staff is attentive and friendly. They have all the things that make a great meal for me and the most important one being plantains and they do not skimp on the portion. They also offer a wide variety of Colombian drinks and desserts. The atmosphere makes you feel as if you stopped by a friends home for a good meal. Definitely will be going more often.
The arepa cones...the limonada...the burgers...everything is amazing here! If you need a date night or just some place to drink your cafecito while enjoying pan de bono, this is it. I love Arepalicious.
Phenomenal food!!! Always pass this place and have wanted to try their food I was absolutely not disappointed! Clean friendly staff will definitely be returning!!!
Great food very friendly staff
Theyre open, they have a phone, its ringing. Called many times nobody answers. Doesnt matter how busy you are. You answer the person whos about to give you money and tell them to please hold. No acknowledgement is far worse and ill take my dinero somewhere else. Too bad because you lost a house near your business. Maybe a few. Bad news spreads quicker than good news.
First time customer, I had the American breakfast that included 3 pancakes, 2 eggs any style & bacon. It was pretty good and I enjoyed it with a mason jar of orange juice. On a later date Ill try the rest of the menu. Looking forward to their signature dishes.
Nice little place for Columbian food. Must try
The food is good but it takes too long for me to get it. I was waiting in the building for something i already ordered for for half an hour. It was something as simple as rice too. 2 stars
So good!!! Steak and shrimp 100 stars
We had a mix up of orders with uber eats where i received the wrong order which is fine mistakes happen, but the lady on the phone told me to repackage the food in the bag that had already been opened to send to another customer during a pandemic where covid can easily spread.When I called back to ask if my order had remained in the restaurant or was also opened by another person and sent back ( which is perfectly reasonable to ask considering she had told me to repackage the wrong order to send back to the restaurant) she gave me a ridiculous amount of attitude as if its my fault they have poor hygiene and terrible communication skills. As a restaurant serving to customers safety should be a concern, and customers shouldnt receive the amount of disrespect that staff feel entitled giving out. If you order from here please check and make sure your take out bag isnt opened and contents arent repackaged.
I had plantains with beef and it was delicious! Would definitely come back to try something else. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.I came at around 3 pm Sunday and it was very busy so it took me a while to get my order. But the food was delicious and I’m giving 5 stars anyway. Hope they are going to deliver soon.
Great food and excellent taste. This our go to spot. Whether its for Take Out or Dine-In they have the option for you, and the food is what you expect when you order your favorite dishes. Great Latin food cooked to perfection. And they are on UnerEats as well. 5 Stars+ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This place has great food. I scrambled eggs with a croissant which tasted amazing! My friend ordered steak with arepa. The steak was good but the arepa tasted strange so it wasnt finished. The good thing about this restaurant is it currently has outdoor dining because of the pandemic. I also took some delicious empanadas. The only thing was that it was a two person breakfast with 3 empanadas and it costed $37, but I will come back here to eat more of the great food.
Great Improvement-My first experience at Arepalicious was not a good one. The service was slow and their level of customer service was unacceptable. My wife and kids literally walked out after waiting for almost an hour without being served. I decided to go again and I saw improvement and since then things have become much much better. They are listening to their customers suggestion. I notice some change in staff which probably was good thing. I see lots of success with this restaurant. The beans are still a little watery but theyre getting better.
So my first visit here was terrible. I decided to try it again yesterday after giving it a few weeks. Still horrible.Customer service is very poor, and this diminishes every other aspect of the establishment.We ordered rice and beans with chicken and the lady said she couldnt put the order in together, she would have to put it in separately. What does that even mean..?Aside from the fact that it took her 10 minutes to even take our order, she then told us the wait would be 30 minutes. For rice and beans!??I really expected the service to be better after giving it a few weeks but it wasnt.
If I can give 0 stars. I would. From the outside the spot looked clean. Nicely lit, welcoming. Etc. once we received our food. (Very over priced ) I couldnt be more disappointed. Everything and I mean everything right down to the sauce tasted old. We ordered a steak( $25) which was cooked so tough and tasted old and salty. We ordered 4 beef empanadas ($2 each ) they were soggy, cold, and tasteless. And flan ($4) which was definitely old- no flavor and tasted as though its been there for over a week. We spent $40 for disgusting food. Never going back. Beware- not worth it. At alllllllll!!!!
Expensive and the rice and beans had no flavor. The steak was 70% fat. They didnt offer or give any sauces. Wasnt a true bandeja paisa
The food was excellent especially the empanadas and arepa cone (pork).However the service is not great!!!The waiters and not friendly and do not give an outstanding service.I ask a waiter for 2 glasses of water and she responded by saying that it was not her table.Can You believe this nonsense?Instead of listening to my request and then tell my waiter to bring them. I had to get up and ask for them myself.
This place is amazing! We tried it at Queens Market and was disappointed that Queens Night Market wasnt open due to covid-19 so decided to drive out here. Arepalicious did not disappoint with the quality, proportions, meat and sauce ratios. Every thing was juicy and fresh. My husband and I cant wait to go back and try the papas fritas and other flavours of the arepa cones!
I stopped by to support small business during these times. I purchased the caramel cake and custard with arequipe . The custard we purchased was stale, there was no expiration date noted. I understand during these times things might not sell, but spoiled food should never be sold. The other cake we purchased was very good and it’s unfortunate that they didn’t do the basic quality control test since im sure the custard was great before it expired.
Let me start by saying the food was pretty good except for the beans which were very watery. The staff is all over the place but where not very attentive. The wait for take out was 45 minutes which I believe was a little excessive. Hopefully they will speed up the process and get better at it. Overall the taste in the food is good. Good luck !
My second time coming here, Ive never order dessert, but this time around I decided to order a flan to take home. I live in Beach 69 and drive to this restaurant, just for me to get home and find out i was sold a rotten Flan. It was exprie., I called complaint and come to find they had more that were expired. They did apologize, nd refund me my money for the expired flan. My advice to you is check your food before walking out their door
Had the empanadas, wasnt impressed. The beef inside didnt taste like beef. Checked the menu, found it to be overpriced. Im still willing to give the main course a shot. Will update.
Food is good but Service needs improvement. O waited too long for my food and the restaurant was not even crowedes
Garlic shrimp arepa is fantastic.
Food was very good. Service was slow like everyone is saying. But they were super busy and it was almost as if they were lacking waitresses. The maduro with chicken was so good, 10/10! Also try the lemonaid it’s so good! But I would definitely hire more people and tell the current employees to speed it up a little.
Food is great... services is bad. I will Not be coming back to this restaurant based on the time. Due to Covid there were only5 tables available. Even with only 5 tables available and 5 servers available the service was terrible.
Hear from friends not a good place to eat!!
They used to have very big empanadas but now they make them so small. They are not worth the price any more plus the hot sauce is awful.. Add to that the very long waits just for a cup of coffee and two empanadas. The girl does not pay attention to customer’s needs. She serves the coffee and forgets either the sugar or the milk or the spoon. I was a steady customer there but I found a better place.
Very pleasant people. Excellent food!
I have been here 3 times already. The first time I wont count since it was their soft opening the second time I was only able to get pastries, they were all delicious. The third time was where I had my bad experience, I ordered 1/2 chicken with fries. They were so bland that it was ridiculous, fries were unslated and had no condiments to accompany them. The chicken had barely any taste.
Food was very good with a pleasant atmosphere! I had the areapa tasting, their areapas are a little on the sweeter side but still very good and hot. They also have frush fruit smoothies but I opted for the cane sugar lemonade. All in all a good experience, I will definitely be going back!
First they undercooked our churrasco told the waiter and he had an attitude, they gave us a new steak and this one was cooked till it was dry and tough. Rice and beans were bland. The only thing that was good was the arepa.
Good food and very accommodating.
My girlfriend and I actually came here unplanned and the food was so fresh and delicious. We had to be quick so all we had were the maduro and tostone canoes, they were amazing and we had the option of having them vegan style by removing the cheese. Another thing that impressed me was that fact that we ordered French fries after we realized that the canoes wouldn’t be filling. The waitress warned us that the fries would take about 10 minutes to be made but when she came back, they were freshly cut and fried as you would do at home. I thought the freshness of everything was great. We will be returning to try more things. Hope business does well and people appreciate what they’re trying to do as a restaurant.
Amazing food practically everything is a great choice cant go wrong. Would like more beverage options. Also would be nice if they added alcoholic beverages to the menu as well. Overall though highly recommend.
I came in during their soft opening week. It’s decorated very nice and is clean. I got the Tres Leches cake and it was FANTASTIC! Would go back just for that. The people are nice they speak both English and Spanish, but they need some more training on the register. But again, it’s a soft open I’m sure in a week or two they will get it down.
UPDATE: 2 Weeks later I was doing laundry and saw the chef taking out the garbage with his white apron on. Ugh disgusting.Poor customer service. First off, staff is all over the place. They dont have finger foods like your regular Spanish restaurant would offer toasted slices of Italian bread with butter or even a glass of water, the waitress said they are still figuring it out. It really makes a difference when you are sitting waiting for a waitress for 25 minutes just to place your order. The chicken empanadas that we ordered came 20 minutes after ordering and the middle was still frozen. Thank God I cut them in half and noticed. They took them back and took another 20 minutes to bring us new ones. We were served salad that looks old, (iceburg lettuce that was browning on the edge.), french fries are stale and the place is in need of new recipes badly. Beans looked and tasted like they came straight out of the can, warmed up, put into a bowl and served. The mini arepas were ok but the menu says one thing and the 3 mini arepas I got were entirely different. They have high prices for food in which the quality is not even worth the money or time wasted on the long wait. I was doing laundry and stopped in for a quick bite that turned into an eternity of bad customer service with poor quality food. The waitress didnt let us finish our meal before she brought the check without us even asking for it. The staff started sweeping while we were still eating as well. Would love to see a Spanish restaurant in this area thrive but, the staff needs to be taught customer service and respect for their customers first.
The food is good. It is a little pricey and the food portions don’t compensate for that. I wouldn’t recommend to go here for a full fledge meal like going out for dinner. Best as a quick bite to eat. Other than that I’ll be back because the food and environment is awesome.
I have been here a few times for lunch and dinner. The food is good but the service is slow. I dont mind the wait but the servers seem very disinterested. Today I came for breakfast for my husbands birthday. The rice and beans were mushie like mashed potatoes. My homefries were cold like the cook took them from the refrigerator and heated them for a minute. The potatoes were large chunks unlike what homefries should be. The chicken empanadas were good. I will not be going back for breakfast anymore, but I like the lunch and dinner.
Food is always amazing.. manager and staff are always professional, welcoming, patient, +++ clean !! usually come with 5-10 people, everyone I bring loves it and theres never been any issues.. prices are good compared to other restaurants... awesome go to spot even have some vegan options+++
I came with my daughter. Really pleasently surprised not only how delicious the food is but also how courteous, friendly and helpful the staff were to us.Such a reasonable price for a filling.meal ! A Truely a welcome new addition to this neighborhoods abundance of eateries. A.must visit place
The establishment it’s really nice and well put together. They have a variety of foods including pastries and a bakery section. The issue is the staff. Very unorganized, often times all over the place, is not like they don’t have enough staff I just feel like there isn’t any organization or delegation. Today I stood waiting while the lady at the register keep helping other customers and forgetting that I was standing there waiting to order. Twice she asked me if I was waiting to order, twice I told her yes, she looked at me and said sorry and kept working on the register. Needless to say I walked out of the place and I never got to order. I went to another Colombian bakery down in Liberty ave and purchased from them. If they could get their customer service right, perhaps the place would be a solid “5” stars.
Food bad taste, too salty, and looks like from many days. Also, they charge additional for using credit cards.
If you want a fantastic chicken cutlet parmesan , meatball parmesan , or a shrimp parmesan hero go to My Hero. In Long Island you wont be disappointed
Authentic, great tasting food with friendly customer service. Doesnt get any better than that.
Went there on Saturday night for take out. The staff was very friendly and the decor is very nice and clean. We did wait awhile for our food and it was completely worth the wait - keep in mind everything is made fresh, nothing is frozen. They bake their breads, pastries and desserts on the premises daily. The food did not disappoint! They even serve fresh squeezed orange juice.We had arepa con queso, jamón, piña y salsa de piña, arepa con pollo desmechada, queso y salsa casera, Queens Night Market Fries and Canoe con carne desmechada, queso y salsa Arepalicious. All were delicious and addicting.The staff was very conscientious of the wait and apologetically explained it was their first week open and they are still getting acclimated and that the ingredients are all fresh. We need a place like Arepalicious in this area. Cant wait to go back! ¡Buena Suerte!
Excellent food, in a city like atmosphere and their prices are reasonable. Ever since they open the place caught my eye. One day me and my fiance went there to try it out. Weve been going there ever since at least once a week and have tried everything on the menu ,so far no complaints.
Food was ok, definitely not worth the price. They also charged additional 10% because of their increased inventory which is the only restaurant I have seen do this during this time. Most likely will not return it was not worth it.
Just ordered 3 plates steak fried pork rice and beans it was not worth $73 and I waited 45 min i tell you one think if the food was good I would say it worth the money but it wasnt rice and beans was good guy placing order should have better manners and mind you he told me my order would take 15min and it was 45min I had to keep going in and out my car to find out what was going on with my order and also first restaurant to charge additional 10% on food i never heard of this in my life and I have been to other restaurants and never been charge extra 10% because of there inventory i dont think thats fair specialy what the world is going threw with this Pandemic
I came for the first time to try this place out and it took almost an hour to get my food and before I left I checked my bag and had missing items at this point I just wanted to go home and eat my food because I was starving. I get home and I find out that my arepa didn’t have any meat on it just guacamole on the flat bread so I waited almost an hour for food just so someone can put guacamole on top of it. Definitely got ripped off!
Great place. My wife always gets the arepalicious dish all the time. Fried pork belly and french fries with the works.
I came here with my wife to try a new place out and the food here is delicious! I had a bandeja arepalicious. It brought alot of food it was really good and my wife had an arepacone and she loved it. We took some pastries to go and they were very tasty as well. We will definitely be coming back to try the other stuff in the menu.
2nd time here. 1st time was open but they werent serving food. There was apparently some issue going on. 2nd time I ordered 1 plate of food. Grilled steak, rice and beans, non sweet bananas (tostones) took about 30 minus to come out. I wasnt able to eat there I had to take it to go. Smelled great inside, looked great inside but pretty slow. Id definitely come back though.
Very good food, but I wouldnt recommend anyone to go there, because of the Customer service.Even though most of the servers are kind, theres this lady that would never treat you well at all (leave alone saying the basic hello and goodbye), and that is only if she decides to talk to you, because the rest of the time, she will be ignoring you.When you get there, the place could be empty, but you will have to ask several times to be served, thats because it is same lady always at the counter, I have had to walk out without being served many times already.As I said, the only reason I go back there and I give 2 stars, is the food.
The buyer was AMAZING.. took my Oldman. He loved it. Guess whos going this weekend?I am.
Food was good but they served both the appetizers and the meal at the same time. Couldnt really enjoy the meal. We felt rushed.
Was not impressed with the arepas. They were not thoroughly cooked & they tried to cover it up with cheese that tasted spoiled...gross. Asked for Colombian hot chocolate but got nestley quick. Pandebonos were dried but their buñuelos were ok. My lulo juice was mostly water, again no taste of fruit at all. Was disappointed because I was looking forward to an authentic tasty Colombian breakfast. It seemed as if the food was made with no thought or taste. I considered it a waste of time & money...ended up throwing food away could not eat it as it was tasteless & I just didn’t feel good after trying to eat it. Just threw $23.00 in garbage. Will never visit this place again...it’s too bad because it looked clean but the people preparing the food need to go 🙁 arepalicious needs to change name...there was nothing “delicious” about it...very disappointed in this Colombian establishment!
Rice and beans were amazing as well as our waiter. The arepas are not real colombian arepas(Im from medellin Colombia), theyre super soft and sweet basically served almost like raw dough. Not living up to the name arepalicious. Arepas should hold up with whatever you top them with, these just fell totally apart. Nice atmosphere and very pretty windows.
Food is always good here nice friendly staff
Food was good
Pleasant and friendly staff go there often
I would have given this plave 5 stats but last time I went me and my bestie got sick. I love thier food and the selection. The service is hit or miss.Some servers are great and barely pay attention to you. It is close to airport so good place to take folks right off a plane assuming getting sick isnt a regular thing... It has a parking lot which is also great so no meters lol. I got sick 4/24...and the which was the same day the servers were not as engaged in serving us so im assuming that day the empilyees werent being monitored or took some short cuts.I have been there other times and really enjoyef everything. Hope they turm it around cause the place is def a diamond in the rough
We decided to check this place out...it was new in the area... We walk in to the entire staff that looked upset and angry.*Menus were falling apart, and were sticky with something. Thought this was new place?*Tv was very, very, loud with a soccer game playing.* There was a kid sitting alone at the table next to us playing loud video games on a ipad (while the parents were eating at another table). And we had the loud tv above us playing. 🤪🤔*no one offers water, bread as we sit there waiting for someone.*sorry to be harsh. Maybe it was a very off day for you guys.* Need to up the customer service.* food looks good online, just wish we were served.
I decided to try something new on my lunch break and omg the food was amazing I love it, the chimichuri sauce was so good, I had the 3 arepitas I love it so much. Definitely full of flavors amazing!!!!!’
The food and bakery was delicious
Arepalicious is a fabulous place, staff is great and very friendly, the food is awesome
In and out door dinning... food taste really good...the portion sizes are generous...great staff...GREAT SERVICE...Love it...
This was a great place to grab some dinner after a day at Rockaway Beach! We didnt know the area well but the name caught our eye. My friend and I tried the arepa sampler of three arepas (chicken, pork, gucamole,) which was great but the entrees were even better. I had the Carne Asada which was prepared great, came with a boat load of sides so I couldnt finish it all :D Point is, we would come here again and you should to when youre heading back from Rockaway Beach.
The arepa con queso or cheese was disgusting!! They brought in cold with a lot of cheese. I told the guy at the counter he was nice to say they will make another one. Second one was still disgusting. Never again. I give 2 starts because of the two people at the counter were nice. The lulo juice was okay. Tasted more like milk.
The menu is trendy, Giacamole was some best ever but long wait for food food was cold and the bean thing I got seemed to be all leftovers thrown all together tasted old n dry.. I recommend a chef to oversee and expedite the food so people get food in a timely matter n food is hot.also make menu smaller so u have better control it’s way to big for cooks in the back
I placed an order of bistec encebollado, after 30 min, I picked it up the order, and when I open the container to serve it and eat it. It was the wrong order carne asada, I called the restaurant to tell them that they have gave me the wrong order. The person who answer the phone only says to me: IT IS OK, it is the SAME, it cost the same, it is beef anyway.Poor customer service!!
One of a kind restaurant in Ozone Park! Friendly and quick service as well.
The food here was very good. It was a little bit greasy but overall the taste was great. The staff is also very nice.
Left me waiting for me to order. False advertising. And poor taste on the the food
I thought the food, atmosphere, and service were great. I loved the arepas and flan, and look forward to trying out some other stuff on the menu.
Excellent service variety of Wines is awesome Enjoy the place Very much!
Mini arepas are delicious and the chicken soup is good and flavorful... Awesome food Arepalicious!!
Service and food very good
Loved the food, the atmosphere, and the quality of the service. I highly recommend eating here.
Food is very delicious. The tres de leche cake is so moist and can taste every ingredient.
First off, the food here is good af! The queens night fries was slamming and I ordered a chicken arepacone, different and delicious!
Ive driven by enough times, I finally had to stop in. Very glad I did! The food is not just well-prepared but very fresh, with flavors that pop.
Cant believe as much as I loveeee their Arepas - I wont be coming back :( if you do want to try them I recommend placing your order on the phone. I have waited an hour for my breakfast & still waiting here 🙄 Ive been here maybe 5 times & my first bad impression was the bakery section had little flys in it. So I didnt order anything from there but the wait is forever ! For 2 arepas. So imagine paying $110 to not get your food in a timely manner. I use to tell all my friends about this spot but mamas empanadas or any other Colombian place makes good arepas too.
Service sucks , there must be 10 people in the whole restaurant , about four waitress talking and no service . Been here 10 minutes sitting and still not even any water or the drinks we ordered , but plenty of conversation these waitress among each other.
So delicious, recommend, Colombian style food, 5 stars
Portions are small compared to other Spanish restaurants but the food was delicious!!!!!
Great Colombian food but their fried chicken especially is too die for!!!
Food, Service,Staff and those natural juices A+Ps: Thanks to the deliver guy for loaning me his charger.
Great food, you get a lot of food. Love their spicy green sauce.
Food was fine.Somewhat slow service.Parking not too accessible.
Good food but waitresses are never friendly. A nice greeting wins customers
The food is delicious , everything is made fresh and they have vegetarian options as well which most hispanic restaurants don’t have
Food is AMAZING! Their name suits them very well!! Definitely will be eating here again.
Platter for 2 was so amazingly delicious
One of my favorite new spots. Service is good, great price, but most importantly the food is authentic and delicious.
Food was good but never said that there was 3.5% charge for credit card
Great food! By the beach. Would come back
I felt it took a bit long to receive my food, but definitely worth. The arepas were very delicious.
Food is good, but service is slow.. I believe that is because it just opened. anyways, is good to have it in our neighborhood.
The food is amazing, the restaurant is beautiful, the staff is super friendly and helpful, this is definitely my new favorite spot, the neighborhood definitely needed this!
Food is delicious....staff is very friendly!! I will go there often
Nice spot for some authentic Columbian fast food. The arepa cone is delicious.
New exciting really good food and service good music. Cant wait to go back. Great location. Parking available.
The food and dessert was amazing I love it portions are big took plenty of food home
They served me legit undercooked food. Ridiculous do better.
While they dont have an arepas section on their menu, their arepa cones are pretty dang good.
We thought the food was delicious, the server was attentive and polite. Prices were reasonable.
Their foods good and the staff is nice:)
Their tostones are never freshly made. They need to work on that. Nothin worse than old, hard tostones
Spend 10 minutes plus before somebody even look at me. Place seems fine. Dont go early in The morning like I did. Not a good experience.
They serve columbian food, very good food and service, its a casual place, no alcohol
Nice upbeat restaurant. Friendly and attentive staff. Food is good... big dessert case
They will waste your time waiting for your food this happened twice to me and my sister NEVER AGAIN! the food is ordinary taste !!!
This was such a good spot for Spanish food the fried yuca fries! Just order that . You will be good to go .
The place is nicely updated but the food is uneventful. Plenty other restaurants that are better. Disappointed.
Good food, great atmosphere and fast service. What’s not to love
Very good food and great service..will def go back
If you are a fan of coffee it is very good and strong. Food is pretty good you wait a bit but worth it
AC was off.Food too greasy.Service is bad, really bad.Coffee was excellent, only for that I gave them 2 stars.
Decent food, wish there were more vegetarian options. I love their Arepacone!
Ok food...theyve increased prices due to COVID hope they come back to reasonable
Really good food. Excellent service. Great location. Good parking.
Frist time here, picked up some desert.3s leche cake and coconut cake..yummy
Food was amazing and staff provided fantastic service
Recently ordered bandeja paisa. Expensive and found hair in my food.
Mucho delicioso. The vegetarian arepa is fantastic. 10/10 would definitely recommend to a friend.
Love it! Bought chicken empanadas for the whole family
Great price to quality on both bakery and restaurant
Love it!! Food amazing and customer service very clean and fresh, recommend it definitely will be returning!
Unexpectedly delicious! Will definitely return here again and again. Grilled chicken was sooooo good!
PHENOMENAL! Danny and his wife have brought Medallion to Queens! This place is truly a diamond in the rough!
Really enjoyed this food!!! So glad I had leftovers the next day.
Not my type of food, but the one dish I liked -Bandeja Paisana- is very good

2022-06-11Great authentic food. Best Sancocho soup I ever had. Food takes long to arrive to the table but it arrives fresh and hot.. So worth the wait! The staff are amazing. So polite and courteous. Denise was our server and she made sure we had everything we needed. She stopped by our table a few times. I’ll be back really soon..Buen Provecho!

2022-03-03Enjoyed the Grilled Chicken with sweet Plantains, Arepa, Rice and Beans. Big Portions. Was very pleased. Service was good. When we arrived there was only one other table occupied and after 15mins it was busy. Didnt wait long for the food to arrive. Also we had Flan for desert, it was delicious.

2022-01-05Arepa licious has been on our list to check out for a few months now. We love your rainbows on the boardwalk during the summer, but we wanted some off-season. Luckily the spot is opened all year round. They still have indoor dining here, they require vaccination cards and ID. So we sat down at the restaurant which was pretty empty except for people coming to pick up things and deliveries. It was really cute they still had Christmas decorations up and lots to look at, in the bakery and even candies specialized from their culture. I ordered the Columbian burger, it was recommended as a sweet and savory burger that was extremely delicious with a really nice pineapple sauce and sweet coleslaw. When it arrived it was so big and so juicy. I highly recommend coming here and trying out the burgers. They also have roasted chicken which look delicious and I will be trying next time. My partner got an Arepa with shrimp and avocado. The Arepas are actually pretty big about the size of a hand and the Masa it’s made of white flour I believe. It was also very good a different texture from what I’m used to but something I also enjoy it. I highly recommend coming here and trying out the food where they are taking out or dining in. And the bakery looked awesome. Lastly we got a giant slice of flan to go, and it was so good. We left one in our house so it was a real treat. What are you waiting for go get some flan man?!

2021-10-04Their arepas are amazing, soft and the perfect hint of sweetness. However, their service is absolutely mediocre! My friend and I went on a Sunday night and it wasn’t busy at all (only 2 other tables besides us), yet they took 20 minutes to take our orders. We had to go inside and ask them to please take down our food orders. Mind you, there were 4 employees behind the counter just talking and chilling. Sucks when great food restaurants have bad service!

2021-08-25Food is great EXCEPT the rice and beans .I’ve eaten here many times and the arepas are the best! However when I order a meal with rice and beans…. It’s always way too much garlic and no other seasoning. Just a fair warning everything else on the menu is delicious

2022-03-22Food is very tasty but service is slow and food takes a very long time to be ready. However, the staff is quite welcoming and helpful. It’s also in a good location and there’s usually parking in front or in the parking lot, so that’s a big plus.

2022-01-19I love the food here. I work for sanitation and my partner let me know about this place. My burger was cooked to perfection and the fries were outstanding. Will recommend to everyone who will listen. Be back soon!!

2022-02-08It’s the small details that matter.. The food here is really good but be sure if you see something you want on the menu don’t just assume that’s exactly what you getting. Menu said all fries come with a special sauce. Ours were served plain. We didn’t get a special sauce on the arepas either, which I would of like since I’ve had food here before and it’s always been good and the sauce so good. Overall food here is really good just ask questions and be clear on what you’re ordering. Today we had the fries, they were okay. The arepa was a garlic shrimp always a hit.
