Delicious and very Addictive: but not every item is a hit.
So maybe the salads are ridiculously overpriced and lacking in flavor and the pork and chorizo are very greasy and have chewy fat chunks, but some of the arepas alone put this place in my top three restaurants. I have been addicted to this place for the past few months, stretching my budget just to get another arepa. Admittedly I am financially irresponsible, but I must think they are worth the hefty price. The recommended ones: la mulata (vegi), la paballon (beef), la del gato (vegi) and some of the specials. Tostones Machimeros (a must) and the amazing (though rarely available) ceviche. I am usually lazy and get take out, but the atmosphere is definitely a plus, with a beautifully lit rustic collage of recycled materials and a very friendly staff well versed in rum speak. If you're ordering delivery, be prepared to wait one hour!

Very Bad
I saw the restaurant featured on Throwdown with Bobby Flay and was excited when I saw they had a place in the 'hood. Ordered lunch for 2 - 1 beef empanada, 2 arepas (pernil & cheese/jalapenos) and yoyos. The arepas were inedible-hard, dry and very dense. The fillings were skimpy and the pork had chunks of fat. It tasted like it was coated with bottled BBQ sauce. The empanada was ok - nothing special. The yoyos (3 to the order) were burned. The outer batter was so overcooked, I had to peel it off before attempting to taste the plantain inside. They too were skimpy - two small pieces of plantain with a smidge of cheese sandwiched between them. Truly some of the worst food we have ever eaten. It was a $29 disappointment. I honestly don't see how anyone can rave about this place.

Nothing like the East Village Original
We go to the East 7th Street locations all the time. They serve great arepas. The Brooklyn location, although nowhere near as busy, can't seem to get its act together. The arepas arrived after a long wait and had obviously been kept warm for so long that they lost their soft texture and became tough and chewy, with the fillings spraying out in all directions due to the compression of the hardened arepa patty. Too bad, be forewarned. Try the original location for great fresh arepas.

Yum
My only complaint is that they are not closer to my home. I loved the arrepas. Each of the meat arrepas I tried were perfectly seasoned and delicious.

Cuckoo for Coconut Milkshakes!!
I'm a little obsessed with this place. The food is muy muy deliciouso!! Everything is yummy, but the Cocadas are my absolute favorite! The waitstaff is stellar. They're super sweet and helpful. Great addition to the hood, too. They seem to be doing real well. I wish them all the luck and hope they're here to stay!!
