When we visited Lancaster, we had to stop by Chellas Arepa Kitchen, and it absolutely lived up to…read morethe hype. The food is a delicious mix of Peruvian and Venezuelan flavors, and you can really taste the freshness and quality in every bite. Their arepas are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with flavorful fillings. Everything felt comforting yet unique at the same time. One thing I really appreciated is that the entire menu is 100% gluten free, but honestly, you wouldn' even notice because the food is just that good. Also, don't be deceived if the food doesn't look super "picture perfect" online or in photos (or at least my photos lol). It may not be the most photogenic food, but it's sooo worth it! I actually ordered almost everything on the menu because I had no idea when I'd be back in Lancaster again . My favorite was the fried rice with chicken and plantains, so flavorful and satisfying! My husband's favorite was the Lomo Saltado Bowl and Pernil Arepa. We also loved the yuca fries, which were perfectly crispy without being overly greasy. The only thing that disappointed me a little was the Esquites. It just didn't stand out and probably wouldn't order it again. Parking is limited and there's outdoor seating only.

Fire pit burning , Latin music blasting , people laughing and talking , the smell of meats and spices filled the air . I ordered the Lomo Arepa which was a fresh arepa filled with delicious seasoned steak , onions , yuca , tomatoes and fresh chimichurri on the side . Absolutely delicious !!! My boyfriend had the Chicken Lomo Arepa which was delicious grilled chicken, yuca , tomatoes and onions . Also delicious !! We also ordered the white rice and black beans and the Grandma Chellas fried rice packed with eggs , plantains and red onions. Loved the fried rice and its unique flavors . Chellas Arepa should definitely be on your list of places to try in Lancaster . The delicious foods , outside dining atmosphere, music and friendly staff all combine to make it one heck of an experience . Since it's literally only 5 minutes away we're definitely going back soon . Thank you Chellas Arepa !!

What can I say... I had a lot of expectations as this place has been open for a while, but I was a…read morebit disappointed. We had to get an early reservation as they were fully booked at dinner time. The food was just okay: the appetizer with the plantain and fried calamari was okay, it lacked a little bit of dimension and was too acid forward (needed more salt to balance it). The main was the "olleta" which is a vegetarian meal; it wasn't exactly memorable. It has an incredible amount of olives and capers and not enough tofu/plaintain/mushrooms. It was also very acid forward and lacked layers/balance to the flavor. Lastly, we tried two desserts: the flan (I believe it was called quesillo) and the chocolate one. I LOVED the flan with the foam on top, and the chocolate one was towards the bitter side (which was pretty good) but I wouldn't get it again. The desserts were very overpriced for the size of it. The place is well maintained and I love the plants all around. I would like to give it another try as I like to support my fellow Latinos

If you could only get one, this has to be the one! The melted cheese + sweetest of it all was an absolute treat. The beef empanada was still very good in its own way.

Very impressed by how hot and crunchy the food was after picking it up.

A small shop with two tables to enjoy your meal, however, I'd much rather take my order to go. I was greeted by a gentleman who I presume is the owner, who was very nice. Since I was only stopping for a quick snack, I only had plans to try one of their empanadas. I was set on the chicken however, they were all out, so I opted for their Hawaiian empanada. Which to my surprise, was quite tasty. The empanada was fresh, piping hot, crispy, and filled with gooey cheese, a pineapple sauce, and cubes of ham. If you're a fan Empanadas by Abuela offers four flavors of empanadas and a variety of other Columbian dishes. I definitely plan on making another stop to try more of their menu. I love finding great hidden little gems.

So if you do not know, I love pupusas and when I saw there was a Pupuseria less than 2 miles away I…read moreknew I had to swing by and when I saw no one had reviewed them yet, I knew I had to let you guys know the tea. A Pupusa is an El Salvadorian fried hoe cake basically. It's made with the same masa as a tamale but typically has meats, cheeses, and/or veggies stuffed inside, then grilled on a flat top to perfection. A lot of times, this causes for some of the cheese to ooze out and create an amazing crust. It's becoming more common for pupusas to have chicken and I first checked their menu to make sure this was an option and to my surprise, found out they had them it in someone's review so I definitely knew I was going. I went in and as you can see it's a small door next to a seafood, soul food and barber shop spots. There was one gentleman sitting inside awaiting his food at a table but all other tables were unoccupied. A small location but definitely has seating for at least 50 people. I looked at the menu on the counter and saw chicken as an option and ordered two chicken pupusas. I looked over the menu to see if there was anything else that I wanted to try and since most of it was in Spanish, I couldn't understand all but decided to just stick with those two because three might be too much. As I waited for my food to be done, I looked over the menu from the QR code on the table and noticed that they actually did have horchata and mangonada but decided to just keep it simple and only order the pupusas. I love curtido and have made it before at home however the curtido that came with my pupusas was different. It was more sweet than I had ever had before and I didn't get a lot of the vinegar I've come to enjoy and pair as well I guess the cheese. Y'all should know I'm never trying that orange stuff ever again so I didn't even attempt it to see if my taste buds had changed. I was good. I like that the cheese and chicken pupusa had either squash or sweet potato inside as well. I think that is what those orange pieces were and the pupusa wasn't overcooked. There also wasn't any cheese oozing out this time to make that perfect crust on the outside but that was okay. I love piping hot food so this was definitely speaking to me. It wasn't very flavorful and none of them really are and that was okay. I did appreciate it being freshly prepared I could hear the chef slapping it together before grilling. I would definitely come back here to possibly try some of the other pupusas however since chicken and cheese is my favorite, I'll stick with that. They did have a jalapeno pupusa . . . . I believe that the perfect pupusa would be the jalapeno and chicken together. So maybe that's what I'll try next time. Let me know what you'd try.
