EDIT: my review was for a cafe and NOT THIS restaurant. I don’t know how, but my original review below somehow ended up in this restaurant’s google map address - I did not do this. I need to figure out how my review got moved from a cafe that closwd out of business to this place here. My original review of the CAFE is below:
So sad to find out this placed closed. Haven't been to this place in a while so thought to pop on google and check out the hours. I've been going to this place every couple months with my wife since we moved down to the Orlando area 2 years ago. My first time trying arepas was in Miami. Since then, I've tried several other places and this little gem had the most chill and genuine vibe with the most delicious and beautifully prepared arepas dishes I've ever seen. The ingredient quality was high, the price was low, and the staff always treated us nice -- even though Spanish isn't our native language -- always felt welcomed there. What made this place shine on top of those other qualities mentioned was that they had two styles: Colombian and Venezuelan arepas -- and depending on which style you ordered -- it was very distinct and all VERY good. Why is it when I find a place I really like it closes down?? I saw the most recent reviews about the service going downhill and that's a shame -- seems like something internal happened. My experience was nothing like that, though. I'm really heartbroken this place closed and hope whoever was making those amazing dishes will someday resurface back onto...

Great place for a night out with the boys, but you can take your woman also. Always women there by themselves, if that's what you're looking for. Beer is very cold and inexpensive. Bartenders are attentive and even come out on the patio often to take your orders and clean and clear tables. Very chill place with a doorman that checks EVERYONE before entering. Try it out. Oh, also some nights they have different bands on different nights and they play on the patio where you can also smoke. Cigar...
