Arepa Queen — Restaurant in Maryland

I’m completely blown away that there are reviews for this place that are less than 5 stars. 🤯

Tried this tonight with my husband and my only complaint is that you’re not closer to my house. We got King and Queen arepas and an order of tequenos.

For the love of all that is good, I should be thankful I don’t live closer because I’d blow up like a balloon from eating here too often.

The arepas come in a delicious soft shell filled with deliciousness and a green sauce on the side. The King has super flavorful tender, shredded beef, fried sweet plantains, blacks beans, and queso fresco. It’s warm and savory and was delightful. The Queen has the BEST chicken salad I’ve ever had anywhere. It’s a salty, savory mix and not at all sweet, which is what I want in a chicken salad. It’s also topped with white shredded cheese and fresh sliced avocado. When I tell you, this is THE sandwich of all sandwiches, I am not kidding. WOW. The green sauce was very complimentary on both arepas even though they were both vastly different flavor/texture-wise.

Then arrives the ✨STAR✨ of the show - the tequenos. I’m nearly rendered speechless trying to describe these things. It’s sticks of white cheese wrapped in a delicious bread-like dough that served with what can only be described as pure, unbridled MAGIC - a white, creamy garlic sauce. It’s got such a savory, decadent flavor. It’s incredible and I don’t have the words to describe just how amazing it is. You gotta take my word for it and try it out!

Lastly, what an amazing experience. We told the lady at the register that we’d never been there before and asked for her recommendations. She was super kind and was quick to recommend the chicken salad. She ran into the back and snatched me a sample of the chicken salad to try and it SOLD me. Without looking at anything else, I immediately knew that’s what I wanted. As we were finishing up, the gentleman that was in the back came out to talk to us and he was so genuinely nice as well. An incredible...

First time here, and I’m blown away. I ordered take out, and I arrived a little early so the gentleman said it would be another minute, I said “no problem, I’ll be right back” so I can hang out with my kid who wanted to stay in the car because it was raining. 2 minutes later I get a knock on my car window and it was the guy with my food standing in the rain. He assumed I had a kid in the car somehow and took it upon himself to bring the food to me… in the rain. Literally the best customer service I’ve ever had on a takeout order.

Now if you thought that sounded great, let me tell you that this food was INCREDIBLE. I tried a little of everything. Empanada, cheese arepa, chicken arepa, tequenos, and a Chicha. I literally took one bite of everything and had to write this review. I’m still eating, but it’s so, so good. Taste, price, options, all perfect. Thanks for being awesome,...

I always get the arepa to go, so can't really give input on what it is like to dine in. I always get the one with beans, plantains, avocado and I add cheese. When I need something filling, yummy and quick, I come here. I love how the outside of the arepa has a nice crunch and the interior is soft :) I've ordered a few times from here and this is my go to spot for when I want an arepa!

I had written "thankyou for making my lunch! Hope you have a lovely day!" In the special instructions area of the order. They sent me back a love note 💌 put a smile on my face :)) go get you an arepa and thank the people making your food every...
