Chicharron & chorizo arepa
Sunny C.

Welcome to Rockville Centre! So happy to have a new Colombian spot close to home. I had the mini arepa sampler from Arepalicious at Queens Night Market before, but nothing else. I was very excited when I checked the Instagram page and saw Arepalicious has pandebono and buñelos. Unfortunately, there was no pandebono today, but I will be sure to check back again soon! I dined in on a Sunday morning and it was very quiet. There was plenty of street parking nearby. My boyfriend and I each ordered a delicious coconut lemonade. We ordered 1 surf & turf mini arepa (which is 3 pieces) to share, a chicharron & chorizo arepa, and one order of the chorizo & chicharron tostones (3 pieces) which comes with guacamole. The portions were huge. My favorite was the chicharron & chorizo arepa. There was so much cheese! Every bite was delicious. My boyfriend's favorite was the chorizo & chicharron tostones. He was excited to eat the leftovers. Service was excellent and we are looking forward to our next visit.

Colombian soda & Chicken Empanada w/ Amazing Hot Sauce
Shoshana R.

I visited Colombia in 2022, so I was very excited to reminisce about that trip with some good cuisine. Thankfully Arepalicious did not disappoint. I arrived to street parking in a quaint little neighborhood on a Monday afternoon. When I entered I was greeted by the vibrant mural/wallpaper (not sure) of the bright colors of the walled city. The shop was empty and the lovely Anahis, was taking a moment to have lunch. She immediately greeted me and spent quite sometime helping me figure out what I wanted. At the time they were only open for a week and a half so we had a little learning curve moment together that we laughed about. I purchased a Colombian soda and chicken empanada to try while I waited for my pickup order. There was a small wait, as the food is made to order. As I waited I took in all the different menu offerings displayed on the digital menus and the traditional Colombian snacks and treats available to purchase at the counter. My traditional Colombian soda was cold and refreshing and brought right back to Cartagena. My chicken empanada was fresh, well seasoned and NOT dry. Thankfully because sometimes that can be the case. The accompanying green hot sauce was amazing. You should seriously consider putting that "ish" on everything. Thank you to the very lovely and pleasant Anahis, who was very accommodating as I unintentionally interrupted her lunch. Arepalicious Express is a great little escape for some good Colombian cuisine Just A Note: - Closed on Tuesdays -They have a full menu of dishes from breakfast, traditional plates and desserts to some re-imagined items like Arepacones... I'm very interested in trying these when I return.

Arepalicious offers great value for the money. The food is delicious and the offerings are diverse and plentiful. There is a great value platter that offers steak, grilled chicken, different sausages, mini potatoes, plantains, and the list goes on. It can feel family of 8. Service is prompt and efficient with a nice dose of friendliness. The eating area is small but check out the back wall mural. Definitely a must try.

A brand new dine-in & to-go place with delicious classic and creative arepas. The place is new and super clean, with some solid modern decor. There's seating all through, with a counter by the window and tables and chairs. You can order your food to go, or eat in and they'll bring the food to your table. The staff is super friendly, eager to recommend some things from the menu and just to chat. The food is the real star here. I ordered the arepa sampler which had three different arepas to try out their styles. All three were really good, perfectly cooked, and super flavorful. The arepa itself was thick and fully and delicious, and the toppings worked really well together. On another visit, I had the Steak Arepa Cone which was absolutely incredible. It's a deep fried arepa that's actually cone shaped, and the dough itself was perfectly made. It's filled with really flavorful and perfectly cooked steak, and covered in a really good sauce. It was really creative and delicious, a great experience overall, and highly recommended. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood!

Empanadas
Nalicia S.

We tried this spot because of an event and fell in love with it. The food is absolutely delicious! It's very chill and has a good amount of seating. We ordered a few things, including empanadas, arepas con queso, and chicharron bean casserole. Our waitress was very kind and helpful with recommending dishes. The empanadas were delicious! We tried the Hawaiian, Chicken, and Guava and Cheese. They were all delicious! I loved the arepas con queso. We tried the Fried Pork Belly Skin and Guacamole, which was just amazing! It was bursting with flavor and was just so good!! I highly recommend this! Last but not least was the Chicharron Bean Cassarole, which was full of flavor and interesting to say the least. It came with a side of sweet plantains, rice, arepa, and avocado. I enjoyed it and thought it was a generous and filling portion. Overall, this spot has delicious food and offers generous portions for decent prices. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area!!

Beef and cheese arepa
Evangelia L.

So I just happened to be in Rockville Center because I had a doctor's appointment. And suddenly - arepas!! I gotta say, this restaurant seriously has one of the best arepas in New York. Although the interior is a little small, the vibes are welcoming! Great Latin music playing on the TV. The guy working there was friendly. Nice decorations and Colombian flags. For lunch, I ordered the beef and cheese arepa with tostones on the side. Plus a blackberry smoothie to drink. The arepa was so delicious!! Nice cheese pull with a hint of sweetness. The beef was flavorful and had a very generous portion. I thought the price of everything was reasonable for the portions. The tostones were fried perfectly. I liked the green sauce that came with the tostones on the side. The smoothie was sweet and thick. Exactly how I would like it :) I can't wait to bring my family here to try this place! I wish I lived closer so I could try more of the menu! Highly recommend.

Great place! Service is wonderful our server was friendly and charismatic. The whole place was clean and had nice decorations. Was not a big place so the seating area was tight. In terms of food, My friend and I definitely ordered a bit too much for just the two of us but I must say the rice and beans we loved it. They are generous with portion size so next time I will get small lol. Tasted great with just the plain arepa with cheese but next time I wouldn't get extra cheese the normal amount was more than enough. I underestimated the size of the arepa I thought it would be a lot smaller but no it was larger than my hand. The chorriperro was okay I wouldn't really get it again just was too much and tasted more like chorizo. The sugarcane lemonade was refreshing would get again. The limonada de coco was okay not my favorite. My friend got the steak arepacone and he stated it was pretty good and that if he had just ordered that alone it would be filing. Overall, it was a nice spot and would try more of their casseroles and entrees. Would recommend !

Bandeja tipica (?) = heaven on a plate
Kathryn K.

Great new place that is a second location. The spot is small but enough to eat in with a small group. Had the bandeja tipica (?) And loaded fries. They had many options on their menu, so I intend to be back! There was only one worker and she was very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend trying it out!

Very delicious Welcome to the neighborhood! If you're a fan of them from the queens night market, now you enjoy them locally. They have a huge menu. I ordered a beef cheese arepa. Their arepas are delicious itself. The beef on top was generous and flavorful. It was alot i brought half of it home and my husband attacked it hahaha i also tried out their coconut lemonade, perfectly tart and sweet. The coconut added a nice balance to the tartness. If you're a fan of Brazilian limonda and Egyptian lemonade, you'd love their coconut lemonade. Star of the show was the guava and cheese empanada. It was so good!! That is a MUST! I also order 2 chicken empanadas and two beef. They were so generous with the filling. The service was great too! Very sweet and friendly. Gave me great recommendations. Definitely on my list of go to(s) now.

I walked in hungry and walked out with an unbearable love for Colombians (and their food). I got the steak and shrimp entree cuz I'm classy (duh) and it absolutely hit the spot! This is now, officially, my go-to Colombian spot, and not only because it's the only Colombian food I know about in the area but because the food was actually gas. Ight I'm boutta book my flight to Bogota. Peace

Queens Night Market
Ryan K.

Been a big fan of their ozone park location and was super hyped when I found out they were opening a location on Long Island. Came through for opening week and was not disappointed. The restaurant was off the main area in Rockville but quickly found street parking. The store was very nice and much smaller than the ozone park location hence the express name. We were greeted right away and checked out the menu to see what we wanted to try. We opted with a bandeja tipica, queens night market fries and white rice and beans for my extremely picky child. Everything was fantastic, the food came out very fast. Everything had such a great flavor to it and went well. The fries were great and reheated nicely as the portion size was substantial. The only thing I was disappointed in was I ordered an arepa cone to go and when I got home it was not in the bag, breakfast wasn't the same however we will definitely be back and I will eat all the cones.

As soon as we walked in, the manager Stephan was right at the door ready to greet us. He already knew who we were and welcomed us like we were regulars. That kind of attentiveness is rare--you usually have to look for a manager, but here he was front and center, making sure everything was perfect from the start. The restaurant was busy (always a good sign!), but we were seated quickly and treated with such kindness and efficiency. The service overall was excellent--friendly, attentive, and just a great vibe all around. And the FOOD... absolutely incredible. I had the skirt steak with rice, beans, and salad--10/10, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. My friend had the fish and loved it just as much. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. Between the amazing food and the outstanding service, this place is a gem. Huge thank you to Stephan and the entire team for making us feel so welcomed--we'll definitely be back!

I asked the server what it was because how amazing it smelled, and he said it was the mixed seafood in lobster sauce. I ordered that and it came. There was squid, shrimp, mussel and clam in the soup. It came with rice and fries as well. It was the most tender squid and clam I ever had in my life. I highly recommend it. We were there for quite a bit and no one rushed us. It's an extremely friendly establishment. I highly recommend it to anyone.

While she was waiting she asked if they could give her one of her empanadas to eat while there and she sat at an empty table to wait. When her food was ready they charged her 18% gratuity on her whole order for sitting and eating her empanadas while she waited. She demanded to know why considering all she ate there was an empanada and everything else is was to go. They refused but she insisted. They also charge you for the containers of your to go order. That's ridiculous! We will be complaining because they can't mandate an 18% tip for food to go.

Lasts about 2/3 meals mattering how much you can eat haha. The service is nice but sometimes they do mess an order up here and there so just check your food before you leave.
