    Really tasty food!! I came here with my friend since she recommended it and I got the 3 arepa sampler to try several different flavors. Everything was great. My favorite was the one with the plantain, so if I came back I'd probably get a normal sized one of that flavor.

    Amazing food. Their Arepas are to die for. So many kinds to choose from and you can mix and match. The cassava fries are dynamite and the cassava beignoits were also great. Really nice casual spot with no fuss, just great food. Can't wait to be back!

    Flavors are OK. I ordered the traditional white arepa with shredded beef pabellon. The arepa is plain, the shredded beef was good, the cheese threw me off, the plantains were pleasant, and the black bean puree was all stuck at the bottom. Each table has 3 sauces for you to try. I liked the aoili more than the spicy one. Vegan options available! I will return to try the other base and fillings.

    I went to dinner with some friends here. The food was different and very tasty. The entrees ranged from small to a full meal. We got the nachos as an appetizer and didn't realize exactly how huge they were. The four of us could not finish them. The restaurant is small and it has some limited sidewalk seating. We sat outside to enjoy the fresh air and had a great time. The staff seemed overworked but also attentive to each diner. I would definitely return here.

    Fantastic food so much flavor and the portions are huge! I got the pulled pork cachapa and the corn tortilla was sweet and so fresh and the meat was tender and full of flavor. LARGE avocado portions too! Highly recommend this mission st staple

    First time having arepas and this place did not disappoint. The yellow corn arepas were fluffy and a tad sweet while the white ones had a more subtle flavor with the perfect crunch! Tried the plantains with queso fresco- sweet and salty combo always always wins. Good option for not too expensive dining at Valencia!

    Many vegetarian options! I got the vegetariana arepa with sweet corn pocket. It was so yummy and crunch, unique flavors! I went at lunchtime on a Wednesday so it was quite calm! Definitely add the table sauces to your arepa!

    Generously stuffed arepas with a variety of fillings to choose from. 2-3 is enough to be full. The 3 we tried were all flavorful and there were 3 sauces to choose from. Plantains were great. Service was quick.

    We were in SF for the Dickens Fair at the Cow Palace and heard about this spot so we decided on a side adventure after the event. We were not disappointed. I had the Yellow Shredded Beef Arepa and the GF had the White Pulled Pork Arepa. We also tried the Garlic Yuca fries. The meal was fantastic. Flavors were excellent, service was great. Would highly recommend this place.

    Every time we come to SF, we eat here. The food is well balanced w salty, sweet, spicy, sour, and umami in every bite. And the coconut lemonade is a revelation!
