Never had an Arepa before visiting, but from now on this will be what I compare every other one to. Firstly, the inside of this business is so cute!! The interior has such a positive and uplifting feel. Smiles all around as soon as you walk in. You can just tell it's going to be good before you even order. I have come here three days in a row now just so I can try every one. Flavor is a 10, freshness is a 10 and services was a 10! There's nothing I can really say would be a con so far and I plan on visiting again next time I'm in town. The staff here is super helpful and the arepas are addictive!! If you haven't tried it, don't take my word for it. You'll see for yourself after first bite. I could swim in that green sauce!!

Arepa Please is such a fun spot! I ordered the Fancy Monkey, and my friend got The Queen--both were absolutely delicious. The arepas are super stuffed, so be prepared for a bit of a messy meal (in the best way). The flavors make it totally worth it!The restaurant was clean, the staff was super friendly, and the food came out pretty quickly, which was a nice bonus. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Arepa Please never disappoints. We live relatively close but always thrilled when a delivery order is hot when it arrives. We have tried many arepas here before but loved the option to choose some of the meatless options today. We enjoyed both the Fancy Monkey and San Marco arepas. The side of fries was more than enough for two people.

We visited Arepa Please on a Saturday around noon. The inside of this place is charming with a good amount of seating, and they had this beautiful art installation with projection mapping on paintings. They also have a bunch of plants hanging in the window which just gives this place a super bright and welcoming vibe. Here, you order at the counter, seat yourself, and then they bring you your food by name. I immediately noticed that they had a pabellon so of course I had to get that, but their entire menu was pretty tempting. I also got soursop juice which I'd never had before. The staff was super friendly and explained what soursop was when I asked. The arepa came out hot and fast, and it was soooo good. It was a generous helping and the flavors were all balanced. I absolutely loved this place, and I'd definitely go back again. One thing that I didn't love, and it speaks more on the patrons than the place itself, all of the tables were dirty to some extent, so I cleaned one off before we sat and made sure to clean it again after. Everyone here was really nice and the food was amazing. I can tell that if I lived in Jacksonville, this would be a regular spot for me.

Really fantastic arepas. They are not the sweet kind, but are super flavorfulWe got the fancy monkey (beans, avocados and plantains) and split between 2 people. Let me tell you, it's a ton of food and so tasty. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a relatively quick bite

Just happened upon this amazing jewel after going to local farmers market. Marianna the girl who took our order was so sweet and helpful. When we told her this was our first visit she took the time to explain the menu, the arepa and discussed recommendations based on our dietary needs. It was a very upbeat and happy vibe. The food is baked fresh so don't expect it to be quick but it is absolutely delicious I got the queen Arepa and hubby got the fancy monkey arepa which was an excellent no meat option for those looking for vegetarian. I'll definitely make this part of my Saturday routine

When I walked in on a random Tuesday afternoon, I was the only patron. Immediately greeted by two smiling gentlemen behind the counter, they helped me pick an arepa and a soursop juice (bonus points for uniqueness and flare!!). I sat down in one of the booths and admired the moving art piece on the east wall and the happy plants in the windows. When my food arrived, the arepa had perfect grill marked and was packed to the max with pork, plantains, black beans, and this green saucy sauce which I could bathe in. I had to use a fork to eat some of the filling before I could pick it up and get a true sandy experience. It was yummy, and I would eat it again, but I wish the arepa was a touch thicker so that creamy crunchy bread-like texture could balance all the fillings. Also, the vintage playboy art on the west wall made me realize I probably wouldn't bring my kids there in the future - not that it's advertising as a kid place or that it should - but for me, it's something to consider when picking a place. But true artists make those choices knowingly and I respect the artistic heartbeat of Arepa Please!
