Arepas El Cacao

My coworkers and I decides to go her after work for a quick bite to eat. The place was clean and the cashier was nice. I ordered the queso paisa and it was pretty good. I didn't expect so much cheese yet wish it was a bit melted on the ends. Next time I want to go and try their empanadas. 2 of my coworkers said they were good!

Heavily understaffed, dirty, service is OK. They have a great product, it just lacks a bit of excitement and cleanliness. The place is in rough shape. Busy night and only two people on duty, orders took a bit to get out. The quality is good, the food is prepared on the spot.

Years ago I use to come here and spent $12 for a cachapa and a passion fruit drink. Now it's $22 ? $5 to add shredded chicken ? That's insane and also I remember when the guys here were super nice, costumer friendly but now they treat their co workers better then the costumer. Today the young lady that took care of me was singing In my face as she was taking my order. $22 ? Texas steakhouse has better food and a lot more in your plate for that amount.

The arepas are pretty good. They are less "full" compared to how they used to be years ago. But still taste good. The prices are a bit high, especially when you end up getting drinks and any other side item. The place could be cleaner. The staff could be friendlier. It's a small establishment with a few bar style seating options inside and a few seats outside. I usually purchase to-go.The parking lot is always packed and not the easiest to get in and out of. Still, I go once in a while to satisfy the arepa craving.

First time trying this place out. It wasn't crowded. They had a tv playing spanish music videos, which I didn't mind at all. I got the Arepa Cacao 1 without the chicken salad and it was delicious! I recommend trying it out if your in the area!

Amazing food and drinks! Lots of choices from pork to just cheese, I love a simply cheese and ham with butter! Super friendly staff and a simple seating area. Don't forget the garlic aioli!

This is a hidden gem on the side of the road which is not easy to get into. Know that the parking lot is tiny and there is only one road in/out. I might reccommend parking in one of the adjacent lots and walking through the parking lots. I'm sure that's frowned upon, but will make your life much, much easier when you arrive and depart. Also, the service is a bit slow, but, I don't think you'll mind once you have your food - totally worth it. Onto the food, it's excellent! The arepas have tons of flavor and are very filling; you definitely don't need more than one to feel full. I'm bummed that I haven't tried a smoothie yet. As I watched them be made, they looked incredible; definitely on the list for the next visit. I got the arepa with beef inside and I want to try others, but that will be a difficult choice since that one was so good.

Food tasted so bland and dry. It's not the same as it was a few years back. Food took like 30 mins to come out and it wasn't even busy. Price is also high and not worth it . I can make it better at home The fountain drinks are nasty and taste like syrup water and need the filter changed

Nice place but the food is extremely overcharged, while in another places you can find the same food and with more flavors for less money, with a big difference I wouldn't choose this place to eat regularly, there's way better places with more options to eat, I hope they regular their prices soon, this place you go eat for empanadas and you end up paying like if you were in a restaurant

Every time we visit Orlando Arepas El Cacao is our 1st stop. The #1 I recommend if you don't speak Spanish or you are trying fir the first time. And yes to the tequenos.
