Arepa Culture NC

Yummy I tried this place for the first time yesterday but ordered takeout through DoorDash. The food was so delicious that I had to drive up to the restaurant myself because I wanted more. I walked into a cute, clean and inviting atmosphere. I was greeted by a sweet young gentleman, I wish I had looked at his name tag. He kindly took my order and told me that I made a great choice. I end up getting the La Surena arepas (shredded BBQ pork loin with housemade pico) and a side of plantains top with fresh cheese. Man, I thought the food was good yesterday, but today was superb. Everything was fresh and hot. This is definitely a new spot I will be frequenting when I am in the area.

Pretty good! I prefer the green sauce over the orange. The spicy orange sauce goes better with the beef arepa and the chicken goes better with the green. The other thing is a vegetarian sweet corn pancake (cachapas) that comes with sweet cream upon request but they just gave it to us without us asking haha. Definitely nicer with the cream.The diet coke part of the soda fountain wasn't working. Only clear soda water came out.

Order rice and black beans with the LaTica Arepa. The food was very flavorful. I ordered to go mostly because dining room was like 60 degrees. Too cold. The front counter staff were friendly and service was prompt.

It's a great place to grab a bite to eat. I believe we stopped at the food truck on Pleasant Valley Road while we were in the area, waiting for another store to open. The food was excellent and served quickly. We loved it! I don't have many opportunities to eat at food trucks, but this one was right there, and there was no question. We had to grab a bite, and we were very glad we did!

Finally made it to this restaurant!Food: I ordered their menu stated popular arepa La Tica Arepa with a Housemade Frescos Natural flavor papelon con limón. The agua freca was delicious. The arepa was very filling and juicy. The chicken though was not very flavorful. Arepas themselves are not very flavorful either so it left a little to be desired. They add an abundance of cheese on top but once you take bites off the top there is minimal cheese in your other bites leaving a very meaty tasting entre. There are two sauces you can self serve (cilantro and hot) which are okay but honestly the arepa tastes better without them. I will say they do leave out the salt and pepper for customers to add but I don't believe that's what the dish was missing. Price: I felt the item was a little pricy for what I was getting. I had arepas in many places and this is probably on the higher end. The portions may make it worth it but the lack of flavor left me a bit dismayed. Service: I was impressed with how fast the food was ready. By the time I found a seat the chasier called my name to get my food. I appreciate they take card and have tap available for easy check out and email your receipt. The cashier was very friendly.Ambiance: abundance of seating inside and outside. It's a nicely kept clean and welcoming space with nice seating a decor. I appreciate their eco friendly serve ware (straws and "plates"). I would like to try their other flavors and redo this review. I have high hopes for this place and am sure I will love at least one of their menu items.

I never get to take photos of my delicious arepa because I devour it immediately . So yummy! Inviting space and friendly service. My new favorite lunch spot.

This was my first time My self and my kids went I really liked the Specialty Cachapa with chicken I wish it was warmer so the cheese was meltedThe cilantro sauce was a delicious addition to the cachapaThe La Tica Arepa was good but the El Carnivoro Arepa was my kid's favorite The house juice was refreshing and a great complement to your meal. I look forward to trying it again soon.

Went here a few months ago and it was delicious! I can't remember which one I got but it was good. Prices were reasonable for something different. And I remember the service was fast! And they have delicious drinks that are different too!

Another great meal at Arepa Culture. I took my daughter for lunch today. She is vegetarian and was thrilled that they had beyond burger as a protein. She chose avocado as one of her toppings and was pleased with the generous portion. And, like me, she fell in love with the green cilantro sauce. I chose the chicken saute as my protein with toppings of plantains and onion/peppers. Good portion size for lunch. I probably took half home for lunch another day.

Good Arepas! Love that there are several options to choose from. Nice space to sit and eat both inside & outside. Service was good!
