Chida La Arepa — Restaurant in Mexico City

Went with two friends around 8:30 on Sunday, they ordered to eat there and I placed an order to take away. The food was good but the restaurant was understaffed and poorly organized. There was just one guy working, and he was absolutely slammed with orders from the delivery apps. I ordered two arepas, two orders of tequeños, and a cachapa; the tequeños were made relatively quickly (one order was cooked perfectly, the other was clearly overcooked) but then left to get cold while I waited over an hour and a half for my arepas. The cachapa never happened. My friends’ also took ages, but despite ordering at the same time they both ate, paid, and left before my order (minus the cachapa) was ready.

If you don't keep wine stocked, don't put it on the menu. I felt like she tried to deceive me twice. The spoiled wine literally left a bad taste in my mouth and I...

A great Venezuelan restaurant in the great neighborhood of La Condesa in the heart of Mexico city.

The place is small and cozy, great food and service. A nice outdoor seating area which is great to enjoy a sunny afternoon. I tried the tequeños as an appetizer with a local Venezuelan beer, Polar.

For main course I ordered the Reina Pepiada arepa and a cachapa, both were amazing and very tasty. The food took be right back home to Venezuela, it was a great experience.

I highly recommend this spot if you are ever in the area or are looking to try some authentic...
