These are literally the best Venezuelan arepas (or any arepas for that matter) that I have had…read moreoutside of Latin America. I absolutely love arepas and the second I saw this place in the Avanti food court I knew I had to get it because I've been craving good Venezuelan arepas rellenas for so long. I'm vegetarian which they had multiple options for and I decided on the 'La Original' arepa with black beans, plantains, and avocado, and I requested for cheese on it as well which they added free of charge. The arepa was everything I could've ever wanted and it didn't fall apart while eating it even though it was super full which was good because that does happen often with poorly made arepas. I also got the sweet fried plantains which had cheese and their special sauce and were so so good. The employees were kind and attentive and the food came out in about 5 minutes because there was pretty much no line. I loved this place and wish I lived in Boulder so I could get it more often. Si te hace falta una buena arepa venezolana, te juro que este lugar no te decepcionará, ni en su calidad, servicio al cliente, ni su autenticidad. Lo recomiendo con todo mi corazón y te juro que saldrás lleno y contento.

We also had the papaya juice, taquenos, and veggie arepa. The arepa was a little soggy but I think that was from transport time and if we ate it there it wouldn't have been. All of us loved our meals and said it will be a go-to. So glad we stumbled upon it.

Tucked right in the heart of downtown Golden, this cozy little spot is easy to miss--but absolutely…read moreworth finding. The space itself is quite small, with just a few indoor tables and some seating out front to people watch. What really stood out was the warm, welcoming staff. Service was quick, and everything came out fresh and hot. We tried the beef super arepa and the pork pupusa--both were packed with flavor and seriously satisfying. The only miss for us was the coconut lemonade, which leaned more bitter than refreshing. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The menu is on the smaller side, but honestly, that works in its favor--everything feels intentional and well-executed. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to, especially to work our way through the rest of the menu.

I wish they did dinner too but I wouldn't want the duo to overwork themselves.

Got the vegan arepa and yucca fries and had somewhat conflicting feelings…read more The arepa was good, except it had way too much vegan mayo in it and it overwhelmed the flavors when you bit into a piece with it. That aside it was good. I'm not sure it's worth $11 considering it's mostly black beans, but it's worth a try if you have them tone down the mayo. The yucca fries were fried well, but they needed seasoning. I'm also not sure it's worth $7 for 7 fries. But maybe worth a try if you haven't had them before. Staff was friendly, service was a little slow, but worth checking out.

You could see the young lady that was there working in real time on many of the baked goods and the young man at the register was very kind and explained everything on the menu. There was a big TV with the Denver playoffs on, so I truly appreciated that while waiting. Oliver items were baked to perfection.
