We ordered takeout today, and the buñuelos were undercooked inside..doughy, crumbly, and not fully cooked through. They're definitely not supposed to be like that. What made it more disappointing is that they're about $6 each. At that price, I expect much better quality. We also ordered a bandeja paisa. The carne asada was tough and lacked flavor, and the beans honestly tasted canned and bland. Again, I could overlook some of this if the food were reasonably priced, but this plate is over $30. On a positive note, the patacón con todo was good, chorizo had flavor and the jugo de lulo en agua was good and refreshing. Overall, the experience was just okay. It's disappointing to see a place I used to enjoy lose some of its quality over the years. Unfortunately, for the price, I'll probably go elsewhere for Colombian food in the future

I had the Pabellon Arepa and even though I don't like sweet in my food I think the plantains went very well with the rest of the ingredients in the sandwich. Overall, it was very enjoyable. Also came with two dips which is always a plus. I do think the price is a little too hefty for what it is though. For that reason, I am not sure how often I'd go back, but I'm glad I tried and I think so should you.

So I was thrilled when I learned about Nova. And they did not disappoint. Both the arepa and cachapas were excellent!!

Honestly, the customer service was disappointing. We already found it inconvenient that the…read morerestaurant is cash-only, but we were prepared to pay. We ordered two tamales, and while the server was entering the order, we asked if we could add a third. The look and attitude we received made it seem like adding one more tamale was a major inconvenience. We didn't want to be difficult, so we simply kept the original order. What's frustrating is that we were literally trying to give the restaurant more business, yet somehow adding one tamale seemed like too much to ask. I understand that mistakes happen and everyone has bad days, but the attitude made the experience unnecessarily uncomfortable. If adding a single tamale is that much of a hassle, I'll gladly take my business somewhere that actually appreciates it.

I loved the crispy outer shell of the corn meal, not to mention the fillings. They offer ground beef, chicken, or cheese. I went with two beef and one cheese. The ground beef empanadas were delicious. The ground beef was very good. It was well seasoned and came with a light red sauce. The best thing that I liked about the cheese empanadas was that they did not hold back on the cheese! The white cheese was of a very good quality and tasty. The empanadas came with a trio of sauces as well. They were all excellent. The cilantro sauce was creamy and mild, but packed with delicious flavors, the red sauce was also mild and rich in flavors, and the Serrano peppers sauce was a little spicier and had good flavors. I loved all three of them. The matcha latte was good. The hospitality was very good. The two young ladies at the counter were super nice and helpful with the menu items and such. I look for to trying the arepas. They offer a lovely dining patio.

Highly recommended to pre-order online the arepas as you could skip the long line and waiting time! We did ours 15 mins ahead of arrival and we could easily dig in straight away. The one last tricky piece was finding seats as they only had 4 shaded tables at the front patio by the curbside. I got The Inglewood, serving lusciously flavorful bbq shredded pork paired to their signature cheese that probably reminded me of burrata or straciatella, texture wise. The dining experience was bit messy as the liquid kinda dripped from the bottom of the wrapper, but totally worthed LOL. Doubtlessly go for their fried cheese rolls as well!! I am already drooling over my own pics now. Would certainly be back for trying out The Red Queen and East LA.

It was a bit thin for my liking for a Venezuelan arepa. The arepa was pretty stuffed with filling though which I liked. This was stuffed with this creamy chicken salad which was tasty and on the colder side. A great representation of West LA's taste, but I would've preferred something with a warmer filling and melty cheese. The cheese wasn't melty in this one. The design of the restaurant is pretty. I ordered on the website for pickup and the experience was pretty easy. My order was ready earlier than the pickup time set by the Toast app. I went for a Wednesday lunch and the restaurant was decently busy with some outdoor seating and tables. Parking was pretty easy at the time I went and there was a good amount of free street parking nearby. Overall, a solid experience here and I would come back to try the other arepas. I only wish this place was open later during the week or even on the weekends since they close at 4pm during the week, so I can only go during my work lunch.
