The food is fantastic, but OMG, ten stars for this place's ambiance. When we stepped inside, they had great merengue and salsa, and even though I am Honduran, those were the songs I used to dance to in middle school. Service was also on point!

Great place for Arepas in downtown silver spring!Even though the arepas were flavorful and filling, the real standout was the Chicharrón con Arepa. The side was so so delicious and one I feel like I do not find at most restaurants!The service was very quick given the casual nature of the restaurant. Would be a good place to grab a quick bite with someone else since the restaurant is fairly small as well!

These chicken empanadas are delicious but we ordered an arepa con carne and found a hair inside of it. That was disgusting! I don't imagine this happens often. I haven't eaten here in years and never had issues then. Makes me wonder if they wear hats or hair nets when they prep the food. I always get the food to go so I don't pay attention to the back kitchen. Would I come here again, hmmm ...possibly but I'd check if they were wearing hair nets this time. If this ever happens again, it's a wrap. The hair was not on top of the food either. It was inside of it.

It might take a little while to get your order but it's worth it. I got two arepas and they were delicious! The corn cakes were perfectly crisp on the outside and the filling was plentiful and tasty.

When you're from a country that is being represented at a restaurant, you look for quality and for the feeling that you're getting a home-cooked meal to satisfy any ounce of nostalgia.And I didn't like I got much of both. The only satisfaction I got was from the menu - they had things I haven't seen in most other places and then some. So in my second visit, I saw that they had chupe caraqueño? Yes please!Only problem? The soups were kind of too watery, and not that great. Not even close to what I'm accustomed to. And this applies also to the mondongo soup that I had in my first visit.The empanadas were Colombian-style and was just eh. The golfeados were good though even though it was dried-out (I fixed it at home though and was able to enjoy it).So really, this place suffers in quality. I think we're lucky to have other options in the DMV, at the very least - but hopefully someday they'll step up here at Arepa Pues.

I ordered the ajiaco soup for pick up. The soup was filling and definitely hit the spot. I do have a recommendation which is I would have loved limes and hot sauce packets when I picked up the soup. Not sure if it's provided when when dining in but that is a recommendation, not a knock on the restaurant. I can't wait to try other dishes from the restaurant.

The arepas are so good and the trouble I came across was not knowing which one I wanted. Good thing the have a 4 some of mini arepas to try and all 3 are winners.

I saw this place across the street and had to stop by! If you never had an arepa.. you are missing out ;)There is ample seating and the music was a vibe.The staff helped me decide what I wanted. They were super helpful and nice.The food was prepared quickly.As someone from South America, I can say that the flavors were authentic.I had the arepa del dia with a malta. Basically what I used to have for breakfast growing up. It tasted just like it.I'm not sure about the parking situation but they are quite accessible by public transport.Make sure to give them a try.

The portions were small, and the food was "just OK." $10 for an arepa. The staff was very friendly. I just felt that the price was high for such small portions.
