“ A really beautiful place to have Colombian cuisine, the cheese arepas were on the sweeter side rather than savory but had incredible flavor. Service was also quick and provided recommendations on parking and things to do in the area. Overall recommended place for visits and a quick meal. ”
“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely delicious! Arepa Lady is a hidden gem in Queens. The arepas are out of this world, crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy inside, and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was fresh, tasty, and made with love. The service was also great,friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Colombian food! ”
“ I came in because I was craving an arepa de choclo (sweet corn patty) with cheese. Ended up having a Patacón with Pollo desmechado. This is shredded chicken with avocado served on top of a green plantain which is smashed and deep-fried. This particular dish was executed to perfection & absolutely blew me away! The chicken was juicy & very flavorful and the green plantain was crunchy which made it absolutely delightful and satisfying! I ended up ordering the arepa anyway, just to try it & took left overs home since it is quite large. To my surprise it was thin & presented as a crepe stuffed with cheese, instead of the traditional Colombian arepa de choclo, which is so much thicker sweet corn patty with cheese on top. Even though it was different, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I’m Colombian & have high standards. The service was excellent & will definitely be coming back to this place! ”
“ All arepas were amazing! - crispy, fluffy and warm. We got Arepa de chocolo and Arepa Rellena. I like their chorizo, baconand sweet plantains- perfectly seasoning. Also, they also have condensed milk and sauces on the table for you. The atmosphere was cute, nice and cozy. They also big screen on the wall the watch the sports. ”
“ Arepa Lady in New York is a small but very pleasant and well-organized place. The service was excellent. I was attended by Carol, who truly provided extraordinary service, always checking on my table and giving great recommendations. The other person working with her was also very attentive, coming by several times to ask how everything was and if I enjoyed the food. There was even a large table of about 24 or 25 people, and despite that, the food came out very quickly, which shows great teamwork. The choclo arepa with cheese had a very good flavor and a generous amount of cheese for its size, although I do think it’s a bit overpriced for being just an arepa with cheese. I also tried the choclo arepa with cheese and grilled steak, which was excellent, with the meat full of flavor. Overall, a highly recommended place to enjoy delicious arepas. ”
