Amazing arepas. Cute vibes, great drink options. Can’t wait to come back.
We Love this place! Been coming here for 16 years, since their farmers market days. The best food on Pearl street I’d say. The arepas are delicious, and the owners are very kind! They shared with us their extra plantains at the end of the night tonight, and taught us all about sourcing and cooking them. Thank you for all your delicious food through the years! A classic
I love this place so much. I was introduced to it by my friend from Venezuela & he confirmed it’s very authentic & similar to home. It’s super fresh, big portions & delicious.
The food here is fantastic and the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. The arepas are huge and super flavorful. Loved stumbling across this place on a recent visit to Denver. Make sure to grab yourself a fresh coconut to go with your arepas.
I love this place! The food is great and safe for gluten free eaters. Also the staff is super friendly and goes out of their way for you. I would recommend coming here to all.
I can’t believe I haven’t left a review yet!!! This is my absolute favorite place in Denver. Completely gluten free and many creative options to choose from! Always the El Caribe for me
I’d heard of arepas and had been wanting to try them for some time. I got the original and it was absolutely amazing! Great portion and flavor! This place has become my latest obsession and I’ve been recommending it to all my friends. Quick and friendly service, too. And to top it off, they’re gluten-free. If you’ve been thinking of trying this place, do yourself a favor and do so!
Amazing food and great location in a nice neighborhood. This was our first time at this location and we couldn't have been happier. Everything was cooked so perfect! We had the Queso and Pabellon Arepa, which both were amazing bursting with flavor! The beef in the Pabellon was amazing! I couldn't be happier. They even spice up their plantains which was a nice change! The crew working in here definitely know what they are doing and are doing it so well. We will totally be back again!
