Cafetería y Arepera Punto Sabroso — Restaurant in Arrecife

What a surprising find. We stumbled across this delightful cafe on a shortcut to our apartment, but only went because lots of our other choices were closed because it was a Sunday. It’s nothing to look at from outside, which makes it all the more intriguing. We decided to order a few tapas, including some from the ‘taste of Colombia’ section of the menu. Everything was delicious including empanadas, chicken arepas (a fried flatbread) and papas rellenas, a sort of baked potato stuffed with meat and more potato. I have no idea how authentic the food is, but I do know it all tasted great, and was incredible value for money. Two large beers, four bottles of water and six tapas for 32 euros. Clearly this place doesn’t rely on tourists, given the amount of locals who came in and ordered takeaway whilst we were there. But do yourself a favour and venture inland and seek out this...

These guys need a bigger place....because this is where the locals know theyre getting good food, when you get told to go and look for 'hidden gems' well this place is one! Such a nice atmosphere, smiley staff....apart from the 'dad' figure...I think because he was so busy trying to cope with the place's popularity. It's not too difficult to get a table it's just that I went at lunchtime on a Saturday which is THE busiest time of the week. Prices were much much more reasonable than restaurants on the prom and it's only 100yds from the prom! I am going to try many more items on the menu as the 3 weeks go on. All the meats I ordered were shredded which I don't usually prefer...but it made it actually easier to eat given the crispy wrap-type things...

Very simply furnished, local restaurant offering typical Spanish and Columbian dishes. The food was delicious and prepared reasonably quickly.

The lady serving was friendly and helpful and it's a relaxed atmosphere. There's no outside seating as it's on one of the main roads.

For the quality of the food the cost was pleasingly low, and it's popular with locals.

Visited again in November 2017. Went on a Sunday and unfortunately four of the main dishes weren't available. Because they have such a good choice, I was still able to have a dish l wanted.

As before it was well cooked, delicious and filling. With a beer as well it...
