This is a hole in the wall. Don't expect a five star dining experience. You order at the counter and the food is delivered to the table. Soft drinks are self serve from the Coke machine. Small tables only, so we had to put two tables together to accommodate our family of five. The one reason to come here is... More

I have yet to be disappointed. I have trouble trying things other than the amazing empanadas, but branch out! Wait time is rarely short, but just try to hit it off-peak and you'll be fine.

I ordered the Cuban sandwich and a mango drink, my wife had the Venezuelan platter and a different juice. She was quite pleased with her dish. Mine would have been decent if it hadn't been for the absolutely inedible ham (supposedly jamón serrano, but having spent years in Latin America and Spain this is not what I would call jamón... More

The food at El Arepazo is wonderful - you can order just about anything on the menu and be certain that the quality will be perfect. That good quality makes the lines long at lunchtime, which is completely understandable. What is not understandable, however, is the amount of time it takes to get food once the order has been placed... More

This is by far the best place for latin food in Columbus. I highly recommend this to anyone. Expect lines during lunch time. You do have to wait a while for your food, but it is worth it. Everything is made to order. Can't wait to try their new location in Gahanna.

This used to be one of my favorite resturant to visit. However, the menu has changed and so has my opinion. They have taken two (2) of my favorite dishs (Big Mexican and Cuban Wrap) and removed them from the menu. They have something similar to the big mexican however, it is nearly as big and it is served with... More

They are located conveniently in the pearl alley market. It's a great view during the farmer's market. You can sit outdoors or inside! After you're finished eating (if you go for lunch) you can go to the farmer's market (Tues & Fri) and pick up some dessert from the vendors. The portion sizes are great, but the prices are a... More

The food is always excellent and is a great value. It's unique, servings are large and the quality is high. Go early for lunch because there's always a line out the door.
