Pica Pica Arepa Kitchen

El servicio deja mucho que decir, la actitud de la cajera es muy malo! Las empanadas en medio estaban frías y con un color de aceite quemado, además las carnes no tenían buen sabor, que lastima, tenía buenas expectativas!

Been hearing about this place and was intrigued because I want less gluten in my life. Came here with friends on a Sunday night and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the trio with beef, veggie, and vegan arepas and man were they amazing. Fresh ingredients and great flavors and textures, especially with the Beef Pabellón. Can't wait to come back!

I used to LOVE Pica Pica but my recent experiences have been different. However, I do think it's likely due to the options that I chose. In particular, I really didn't like the beef Pabellón filling--the description sounded like heaven but the reality didn't live up to it. Massive hunks of stringy beef that were all but impossible to eat in an arepa--had to put it down and eat the beef filling w knife and fork (or pull off piece by piece by hand). The flavor of the plantains in the dish were totally lost due to the overwhelming amt of beef. The arepa itself was excellent, as usual. In general, the different arepas and cachacas I've had here in the past were almost always spectacular, as are the yucca fries. This the 4 stars. One thing that was shockingly bad tho: the garlic coconut rice. It was bone dry and completely lacking in flavor. The worst side of rice I've ever had. Avoid it (sadly)!

A hidden gem Amazing food and quite the flavor experience. Loved the staff and atmosphere. Very homey Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly
