"5/5!I recently went here for lunch with my brother and his girlfriend as they wanted to introduce me to something new to eat in RVA. And all I can say is, I'm glad they took me here. The food was incredibly delicious and the staff here were very friendly and attentive!The food: I decided to try two things, since I'm not here often and we'll, why not? I had the Llanera Arepa 8) and the Criollo with Chorizo 12). The Llanera Arepa had steak, cheese, avocado and tomatoes. It was hands down the best arepa I've had so far. The corn meal was cooked perfectly and didn't crumble or breakdown on me. It was perfect.! The steak was cooked perfectly and the portions were very generous. I would've been good with just one arepa and maybe a side of yuca. The Criollo was delicious as well, I had no complaints on anything.The service: the staff were friendly and attentive while we were there. Had a few check ups to see how our meal was, and food came out in fairly good time.Overall, I highly recommend coming here. I know I'll be back, and I'm looking forward to try new items! 5/5!"

I had to enjoy my pabellón arepa in my car because the noises it caused me to make were getting me kicked out of every establishment. That's how delicious it was. View menu

5 stars for eating. Zero stars for pricing. $36 for 2 cachapas 14 each plus tax), which are only mais and cheese, and a bottle juice 5). I can't see that they're long with those who's too bad because eating is very good.

Excellent food. I have had the Vegallon Arepa, Beef Empanadas, Plantains, Pork Cachapa (so good and Queso Fritoo. All were delicious. I try to hit this place up every week for lunch. I'm never disappointed. Oh, and the Cafe con Leche is a must.

Ceasar
I was skeptical at first, being someone who used to live in Colombia, but Arepa Square exceeded my expectations. The arepas are the perfect size and filled with delicious ingredients (I recommend the plantains, black beans, and avocado arepa). The staff is very friendly. I am grateful to have found my new favorite place in Richmond that reminds me of home.
