Mosaico by Arepa Zone

In looooveeee with the empanadas! Service was very friendly and worth the little wait! Consistent quality when ordering in person and ordering delivery, my favorite winter meal!

I love Arepa Zone so of course I love Mosaico. I've always had friendly service but that seems to not be the norm in other reviews, so I hope that changes overall. I enjoy their arepas, empanadas, and tequenos. Everything has always been fresh and delicious. It's one my favorite stops at La Cosecha, which is one of my favorite places in DC. I always look forward to Mosaico.

Tostones TrioI selected 3 different meats (pork, chicken, beef). The pork was a bit bland and lacked flavor. The chicken was also bland in flavor, tasted like they watered it down to make it stretch. The beef was fantastic. How they missed the mark with the others and the beef was flavorful, tender and juicy is beyond me. I loved that the tostones were made to order. Had I gotten all beef it would've gotten a higher rating. I also would've appreciated if the beef was simmering in a pot all day low cooking. Instead they pulled a baggie of pre-portioned meat from the fridge and reheated it. Still good, just doesn't hit my foodie standard to feed my soul status. Pabellón Empanada Again the delicious beef, was well seasoned and balanced well with the sweet plantain and black beans. Nice thick amount of cheese. Fried okay, with only a couple of over cooked longer spots. The flavors in this made it the star of the meal. If this is reheated then they do a better job ensuring it feels like made to order. That garlic cilantro sauce that comes with it, is FIRE! Again the consistency was off. I went back an hour later and got 2 more and they were not as good. The plantain, beef, and bean ratio was off. It also was more garlicky in flavor and the beef was tough this time. I also took a star off because they aren't consistent. I had the tostones trio yesterday and it was knock your socks off good. With the mashed plantain being crispy outside with a moist middle and had a perfect amount of salt to enhance it. Today the mashed plantain was very dry and flavorless. All in all a good foodie adventure just not consistent.

I ordered mandocas, a traditional Venezuelan dessert! They topped the mandocas with cheese and a side of sweet sauce. Very tasty, however, the food wasn't very warm. The service was good and La Cosecha Food Hall was a great atmosphere

Delicious arepas with crispy shell and soft inner core. The Vegan arepa overstuffed with black beans, plantains, garlic aioli, and mozzarella cheese that I requested was tasty! The arepa was overstuffed as the beans were falling out with every messy bite! The Mango juice was refreshing and delicious. So glad this food truck has expanded to brick and mortar store locations and made its way to the Latin American food hall!

They are located in La Cosecha. I love that they are located in this Latin food hall where's there are other options, you can sit anywhere, and close to the metro station. There is plenty of seating in here. The staff did take like about 20 mins for my food to be ready. They give you a buzzer. Camarones Empanada, Cazon Empanada, & pabellon Empanada, which were about $6. These are Venezuelan empanadas, which these are bigger than the Argentinian empanadas. I was not a fan of the pabellon empanadas because it was rehash beans. The Cazon texture is like the texture of a tamales. My favorite was the Camerones empanada. I do like how they have favorites that are not the typical flavors. I also got the passionfruit drink which was pretty sweet. It did cost $5.5.

The employees are beyond rude. Want to order food? How dare you even THINK they would give a crap. You will have to wait until they finish telling their stories and catching up to be acknowledged, and then wait again until they feel like giving you your order.Ashamed I didn't check out the reviews first. Several people have noted that the customer service here is garbage and I agree.

Ordered at 9:38PM after getting out of a movie, waited 22 minutes for the order which was presented at 10PM - but they forgot to make fries (papas fritas). When I pointed out they missed the fries and showed them this receipt they got mad at me and refused to make them because they close at 10. She aggressively pulled out the retractable belt barriers and kept shouting no at me and refused to refund the difference. However the food I did get was really good. Learned my lesson- next time I will order fries at the theater.

One of my go-to places for lunch during workdays. I typically get the vegetarian arepa which has beans, avocado, plantains and cheese and it is delicious! You spend $10 and you get a tasty and filling arepa. I am a big fan of La Cosecha, and although I do not typically eat-in for my lunch break there is always plenty of seating available. The only thing I wish is that they would allow to order online for pick up.

Bad Service, Long Wait, food so soWaited almost 20 mins for food that had premade ingredients. I went up twice to ask for the food and second time my order was sitting on the counter but staff had not buzzed the buzzer. Two young ladies and a male staff were at the shop but pretty indifferent. They were chatting and laughing without a care in the world the world and destroying this business. The food was salty and over seasoned. Edible but certainly not worth the attitude, slow service and price point. Not going back.
