The arepas are too small
I agree with the opinions that the arepas taste good, but what is going on with the size? If you go to Venezuela the arepas are twice as big and half price. I'm not expecting the same price but at least they should make them bigger.

Good stuff
I thought the food was really fun and creative, all the dishes my friends and I tried were great! Yes, the place is really small but most restaurants in the East Village are, as well, and this place has a fun atmosphere and cool music. I'm not sure what KKR is talking about that getting enough food to be full will "cost you a TON" - I had 3 arepas and was plenty full, and at $4-5 each, I don't think about $20 for a meal is "a TON", I think it's quite reasonable actually. I will definitely return!

Hysterically overhyped & going downhill
I went here a couple of years ago and it was OK. Tasty but SMALL proportions. Filling up here will cost you a TON. The other day I tried the place again and the food was poor. Still small portions but the food did nothign for me. The chips were tasteless and you don't get nearly enough guacamole.

Excellent arepas!
I always go here with a Venezuelan friend. He really likes the arepas and says that they are authentic. I think theyre great. Especially the pork with mango sauce and the chicken and caramelized onions. The food is inexpensive. It is a small place so expect to sit in a crowded area. Anyone who tries these arepas will agree they are the best in NYC. (since there are only 2 other Venezuelan restaurants in the city at most). Great food , cheap price.

Delicious!
I had lunch there five hours ago, and I am still thinking about it! Fresh and delicious!

A lot of hype small pricy Arepas
I am Venezuelan and know how to make arepas and have eaten thousands of them in areperas in Caracas. I have to tell you these arepas were the smallest whimpy arepas I have ever had in my life. The filling is tasty but the arepas were too small to be satisfying. You will need to eat at least 3 or 4...but at the price of $5 or 6 plus on average, without drinking anything it is not a "deal" anymore. I am sure they can improve either the quality of the arepa or the price and then maybe I will go back. The whole thing is exciting because there are not that many Venezuelan places in the city. But frankly I thought it was a bit of a rip off.
