It is NOT convenient to me in Columbus. 13 miles of construction and unexpected detours in an unfamiliar part of town, but oh so worth it. It's a small place, a carry out more than a sit down.

IT WAS EXCELLENT. Such a treat. Nicely packed and it included a nice napkin and a sturdy plastic fork. When a business spends extra money on these things, you can bet they are doing the same back in the kitchen. I like this place alot. Thank you

Was so looking forward to this meal and it was a massive disappointment…read more Just to show there's no interpretation issues, I brought my Jamaican neighbors, Lou and Mayta. They get a free meal from their home neck of the woods, I get an expert opinion. I didn't care that the server seemed disinterested and disconnected. Everyone's different. Still, be friendly, it's a business. 2-3 stars. The room could use a good going over, but it's not disgustingly filthy so we're at 3 stars for that. The food was a bust. Total discouragement. One of my favourite things is ox tails. First, you only get half. Then, they whipped up some nasty sweet sauce and drench the damn things. 1-star I would defend the price if they hadn't gotten so cheap. So the prices get 2-stars. Pro Tip: If there are no refund signs, don't go in. Take your money up the road. As for Lou and Mayta, they were disappointed. I agreed to take them to the Cuban joint up the road. What an expensive day for Steven E. 10/24

The rice and peas were good, but clearly meant as a side for an entree, and now I wish I had gotten oxtail or goat. Mmm. I'll be back. Friendly owner. Decent prices.

I ordered through Uber Eats, and when I arrived, they told me they were out of noodles and couldn't make my order. Then, they suddenly said they could make it after all. When I opened the to-go box, I was disgusted. The food looked like it had been cooked in old, greasy sauce. It was terrible--nothing like the delicious meal I had last time. I even have a picture of the original dish, which looks completely different now, with the food appearing yellow and unappetizing. This was an awful experience, and I will not be returning.

I've been eating at El Arepazo since its early days on Pearl Alley when there was no where to sit…read more As a Colombian-American, I am proud of our heritage and cuisine, but there aren't always great places to eat besides at home. So it was some surprise to try bandeja paisa (traditional huge platter of various Colombian foods) and find it the best anywhere, including in Colombia. 25 years later and that still holds true. I have yet to find arepitas as exquisite of those of Carolina and Carlos, and they remain my standard (I think they are Venezolano, but does it matter? They are delicious and they are the best I've had). The cilantro salsa is unique and really adds to a lot of the foods they offer. My spouse is all about the maracuyá juice, and their options are worth sampling since its not usual for most Americans. For me it is comfort food not only as a Colombian-American, but as a (former) long-time resident of Columbus who at times craves reminders of the past. I've been to Pearl through its incarnations, then Gahanna, and now this Brewery District location. This one is my favorite of the three, with nice space and a great Latin atmosphere. We were there recently on a Saturday and had top-notch service, and even a visit from Carlos to reminisce about old times. El Arepazo is a Columbus institution. If you are curious about Latino food, and Colombian/Venezuelan cuisine in particular, it is THE place to start. Columbus is lucky to have a restaurant like this that beats out anything in Queens, Elizabeth NJ, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, and would give places from Bogotá to Caracas a run for its money. It's legit, its delicious, it is attractively priced, the location is great, the staff is warm and friendly. 10/10. Stop reading and go eat there!

I am writing this review because I am extremely frustrated by the lack of communication I have…read moreexperienced with Carlos, the owner. On Saturday, August 8th, I took a friend to breakfast at First Watch, across the street from Arepazo. I parked in a legal parking space in front of Arepazo at approximately 10:30 AM and left around 12:30 PM. Later that day, I discovered that the front passenger door of my Jeep Grand Cherokee had been badly dented. At first, it looked as though someone had purposely kicked it. I retraced everywhere I had been that day in an attempt to determine exactly what happened. After reviewing my home security camera footage, I was able to narrow down when the damage occurred. The footage clearly showed that when I backed out of my garage to go to breakfast that morning, my passenger door was undamaged. When I returned home after breakfast, the damage was clearly visible. A few days later, after Arepazo reopened following Sunday, I called the restaurant and spoke directly with Carlos. I explained what had happened and told him that I had noticed security cameras on the restaurant that appeared to be pointed toward the area where my Jeep had been parked. Carlos confirmed that the cameras were working, although he told me the resolution probably would not be good enough to identify someone's face. I explained that I wasn't concerned about identifying a face--I simply wanted to know what happened to my vehicle. Carlos assured me that he would help me figure out what happened and promised to get back to me. It has now been two weeks. My insurance estimator has since inspected the Jeep and determined that the damage is consistent with someone's body having been slammed into the passenger door. The estimated repair cost is approximately $3,300. Despite Carlos telling me he would help, I have not heard from him. I have called several times and left messages with multiple staff members, including his manager, Brent. On Tuesday, August 18th, at approximately 6:30 PM, I finally went to Arepazo in person. I spoke with several employees, including Brent. Brent went into the back to call Carlos. After approximately 15 minutes, he returned and told me that he had just spoken with Carlos and assured me that Carlos would contact me. He still has not. Is this a review of the food at Arepazo Tapas Bar and Grille? No. Is it a review of the restaurant's service? Not exactly. But I do believe it says something about how the owner treats people. I wasn't asking Carlos to pay for the damage. I wasn't accusing Arepazo or any of its employees of causing it. I was simply asking him to follow through on his promise to check security footage that might show what happened to my vehicle while it was parked directly in front of his restaurant. I even told Carlos and Brent that I would gladly come back and eat at Arepazo if they would simply help me with the security footage. Apparently, after two weeks, several phone calls, multiple messages, an in-person visit, and two separate assurances that Carlos would contact me, getting back to me isn't a priority. That's disappointing. Sometimes how a business owner treats someone when there is absolutely nothing in it for him says more about the business than the food ever could. I guess Arepazo has enough business that Carlos doesn't need mine--or that of the friends and family I might otherwise have recommended to his restaurant.

Stumbled on this on the way home late on a Sunday night. Jamaican food at midnight on a Sunday?…read more Turns out they are there for Skully's reggae night, and pop up at other locations and at festivals. (I think I have had their stuff before at some festival, actually.) Tucked in an alley/parking lot across the street from Skully's, they have the usual: oxtail, jerk chicken, curry goat, etc. Jamaican sodas, a few small snacks. Having just eaten, we weren't up for a meal, but they have sweet potato pie so we got some. Excellent crust, just-right filling (maybe a little more custardy than most.) Next time we will get a whole pie, and some entrees. Prices are good. We are lucky to have several Caribbean places in Columbus, and a food truck is a welcome addition. I can't find a website for them, and there are half a dozen phone numbers listed online, so good luck. Definitely look for them Sundays near Skully's, and the sign says they go to reggae shows at the Alrosa, and are at Lockbourne and Frebis during the week.
