The main dish sold here are the arepas. Their website describes them as follows:
Arepas are fresh, home-made corn patties, grilled and stuffed with your choice of delicias. Our arepas are naturally wheat and gluten free
Upon a little more research, the arepa is made with "masarepa" or arepa flour. It's basically precooked, ground corn flour. This gets mixed with water, butter, and salt.
I was greeted by Bill who made a few recommendations. I ended up getting the robinita - two arepas stuffed with chorizo, black beans, sweet plantain, guacamole, pico de gallo, cotija cheese. I opted to get without the beans.
Unsure of how to properly eat this, I took the fork that was placed in the bag and went to work. The first thing I noticed was the wonderful aroma of FRESH, flavorful food. The chorizo was seasoned well and offered just the right level of spice. The pico was great, and coming from a tomato hater in the middle of winter, this says a lot. The guacamole was a vibrant green, with no brown discoloration.
But of course, the star is the arepa patties themselves. They have a nice fresh corny taste, which helped bring the entire dish together.
