I think there used to be one in Gahanna, where Marlowe's is now. It was very good, and so is this one.I got the pabbellon criollo, a nice platter of meat, plantains, rice, and beans. And arepitas, little corn balls. I had shredded beef; you can also get chicken. It was tender, and well flavored. I did ask for hot sauce on the side, little cups of creamy green sauce that had a decent heat and added a nice flavor. The rice was perfect. The beans were darn good. The plantains and arepitas were perfect little bits, adding some variety to the dish. I devoured it all.Also got a blackberry juice, with milk. Creamy, tasty, very good.Service was great. I like the atmosphere- a bit dark, interesting decor, comfy seating. Parking was reasonably available on a Thursday evening. Only disappointment? I ordered tres leches cake to go, and left it there. Didn't even realize it till I was too far gone. I cussed so loud I was afraid neighboring cars heard me. But no; too cold so windows up. Sigh. It looked good.

Used to love this place but.....We ordered carryout today to take to our daughter who just had a baby. Unfortunately they had errors on every part of our order (forgot all of our sauces and silverware). and missed one of our sides completely. When we called to let them know about the order we spoke to Carlos the owner and he was far from nice. He offered to credit us for the missing side - I sugeestd that maybe something more may be on order due to all of the errors - and suggested a $10 gift card. Carlos told me he was not going to do anything since I "demanded" something and was very argumentative ! I used to go there since they opened their first shop on Gay street - but no more based on his very rude behavior

Visiting Columbus and my friends brought me to this little place along South High Street. This is a Latin fusion restaurant- it offers dishes from Venezuela, Columbia, and Ecuador largely as that is where the owner and chef hail from. There's a few Mexican and Peruvian dishes scattered throughout the menu. Cute location, outdoor seating, friendly staff. I should note the place boasts an impressive mixed drink menu. We started with tequenos- which i can best describe as a mini stuffed bread stick. It's served with a spicy cilantro sauces. Very good.Next we got the empanadas. Now I'm generally not a fan of Columbian or Venezuelan empanadas but these were pretty good. The corn dough was crispy and the shrewd beef flavorful.As someone Peruvian by heritage I decided to venture out and try a columbian dish. I went with the bandeja paiso. Be advised: this is not for the faint of heart. You get steak, chorizo, chicharron PLUS Rice and beans with a fried egg on top. Oh and for good measure fried plantains. I enjoyed this dish -- what I could finish of it that is. Easily something split between two people. Anyways, this is a nice stop if you are visiting Columbus. My mark down was for getting my steak well done instead of medium otherwise good food for a reasonable price with nice ambience.

The service here was really awkward from the moment we walked in. The host just showed us to our seats without saying anything we could hear, and the waitress was really pushy and overly comfortable with us. I planned to order wine, but when I did, waitress looked at me like I was crazy and asked if I wanted sangria instead. I laughed it off and said "no thank you" because the price was suspiciously unmarked, and I just didn't want it. (In fact, many things on the menu don't have listed prices.) She asked if I was sure, so I asked how much it was, which was at least $4 more than what I wanted. "No thank you." I order my wine.She comes back a few minutes later and says she got it down to the price of regular wine. This was sweet of her but also just not necessary or asked for? I ended up just getting it instead because she so strongly wanted me to try it. It was good but still just not what I was wanting and not outstanding at all. In addition to all this, I don't remember what was said, but the waitress laughed and touched our arms, like she knew us. We had been inside for a total of 10 minutes, so I don't think we were friends enough for that to be comfortable lol. Definitely wasn't for us.Anyway. The cilantro sauce is really good! It made my chicken arepa go from a 3/5 to a 4/5. I don't have much desire to come back, but if I did, I would buy a bottle of the cilantro sauce to go. Highly recommend! The spicy one is veryyy spicy - too much for me personally - so I'd recommend starting with the regular unless you're up for that.I don't remember the dish my partner got, but it was unbelievably salty due to the shredded beef. It was so salty we had to take half of it to go to eat with rice at home.Overall, just wasn't impressed by this trip and didn't have anything other than the sauce that would incline me to come back.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. We had someone in our group who has the cilantro soap flavor problem and the restaurant made accommodations. I will definitely be back.

I usually order Arepazo through DoorDash but finally was able to dine in. The restaurant is a beautiful space. It was quiet when we went. Our service was fantastic. The food was even better when it was fresh and not sitting in a delivery car for overly long. I love getting the patacon. The flavors blend beautifully together and it is a fresh feel good meal. Their cocktails are colorful and taste fantastic. I am a fan of Arepazo and its menu offerings.

Had a fantastic experience at Arepazo with my family. We had a reservation for 10 people and were seated in our own private area on a little stage. It was such an amazing experience because we were able to talk and enjoy each other without anyone right beside us. We enjoyed this meal the day before Thanksgiving which meant happy hour was still going on. They have a good selection of drinks and some appetizers that are included in this menu. Happy hour goes Monday through Friday from 5 pm until 7 pm. There is $5 cocktails, $5 appetizers and $1 off draft beer and wine. We ordered the Venezuelan Empanadas which were very delicious. It comes with three corn meal empanadas: 1 shredded beef, 1 shredded chicken, 1 black bean and cheese. Their cilantro sauce was my favorite. For my main entree, I ordered the fish tacos. It comes with three flour tortillas with breaded cod, green leaf lettuce, pico de gallo & avocado, corn salad. The portions are huge and ingredients were so fresh. My cousin got the tostado which is pictured as well with a corn tostada, black beans, rice, green leaf lettuce, plantain slice, mozzarella-provolone cheese, avocado, sour cream, pico de gallo and choice of protein. All options at this restaurant are fantastic. I cannot wait to go back to this restaurant as our new tradition for a family meal before thanksgiving because it was just a perfect option for us!

Hands down the BEST EMPANADAS in the city. Also their cilantro cream sauces either regular or spicy are to die for. I've been going here for decades even as far back as when there old location was tucked in those back alleys behind the State Office Tower downtown. These aren't little half hand sized empanadas the majority of places in the city serves, these are HUMONGOUS! The massive empanadas, quality, and tastes have not changed even while moving to their newer location. One empanada makes about two meals ITS THAT BIG! In the past I've tried their other offerings with the rice, beans, eggs, sliced sausages etc which are all good, but my regular order is their MIXED EMPANADA with CHEESE as it's always a HOMERUN. Their plaintains are great as well!

Had a great night at Arepazo Bar and Grille. We were greeted by Carlos and he was the best. Ashely our server recommended some good dishes. We ordered the Sweet Corn Cake and Chilaquiles. Both dishes were so yummy. Brian the bartender stopped by and got us right together with a margarita. I loved how everyone was super friendly and stopped by for a chat. Stop by and check them out sometimes.
