The Arepa Place - Cincinnati

Wow! I had been wanting to try this place for months. Well worth the wait. The arepa is so big and filling (I got the Great arepa). I also got some empanandas. They are so crispy and tasty. I got 1 beef and 1 potato/eggplant. I liked them, but I would have liked a little more spice/seasoning in the filling. The roja salsa is a little spicy but not overbearing. The green salsa is watery and not like the more traditional "thick/chunk" american style salsa. Will definitely order again

First time trying-loved it! and quick delivery. tried the The Great Arepa , Chicken Cheese arepa, a chicken and beef Two Different Empanadas. everything has a unique flavor (unlike some places where everything sorta taste the same, or is bland); definitely think the beef is my favorite but happy with all of it, and i love all the salsas and guac. excited to try more of the menu!

The Great Arepa is deeeeeeelicious! And the red green sauces are incredible. I gave 4 stars because the chori was overcooked and dry but the beef chicken were perfe cooked.

Not good. the arepas shell looked, tasted, and had the texture of fried paper towels. the empanadas were encased in what seemed to be dried corn that had been crushed and marinated in oil for hours before frying. dont expect good charing or anything satisfyingly crunchy or soft. the arepas filling was not pleasant (might just have been a matter of taste, though), but I loved the potato and eggplant! the latter is the only thing that saved my meal- it was delicious, even if the crust it inhabited was horrid. the arepa was also bigger than both of my hands, so that at least wasnt something to regret. wasnt too fond of the sauces, but they were okay. 2/10, food looked like it had come from a toddlers playset

Ordered Two Different Empanadas and Sweet Plantains and they were amazing!! The empanadas were crunchy and favorful, and the plantains were sweet and caramelized. Definitely would order again!
