The Arepa Place

Fabulous food. We had an arepa and two empanadas. Some of the best food sampled on a two-day trip of OTR. Do not miss this restaurant!! Its great. Service was so-so but efficient enough. Seating inside isn't anything fancy -- counter style -- but its clean and bright.

The best empanadas and arepas I’ve ever had. I wish I lived closer because these would be in my weekly rotation; especially because they have frozen items that you can purchase in bulk. I had the chicken empanada and the vegetarian arepa and I would love to have had enough room in my stomach to try everything else. Plus, the employees there were very sweet. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good grief, their arepas are absolutely incredible! So delicious. The empanadas are wonderful, too. Well worth a lunch stop. Dietary restrictions: Terrific for celiac folks as they do gluten-free really well.

Good lunch spot, nice playlist, decent food and price. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options

We had the great arepa and it was delicious! The place is small, so not a lot of seating but it’s right next to Findlay market so there is seating there too. The flavors in the arepa are authentic. If we lived closer we would eat here all the time.

I really enjoyed the steak and cheese Arepa. It was very simple but still had a lot of flavor and the Roja salsa was delicious.

I always come for the empanadas but to be completely honest, the big (sorry don’t know how else to describe him) guy with the glasses is rude. I get it, it’s Sunday and you probably don’t want to be here. The rest of the staff is always so kind but I know when this guys at the cash register, I’m either about to get an attitude or something is wrong with my order because of miscommunication. The Arepa Place, I am not the only one complaining about this staff member, please read a previous review from another gentleman.

Great service with very good food!! Would recommend to anybody.
