    Filling and affordable! I got the shredded beef arepa, loved every bite & pick up was smooth and quick. Spent a little over $6 for two on Uber!

    Great for arepas in the triangle. The food is affordable and I like the combinations you can make. My favorite is their chicken arepa with plantains, beans, and cheese.
