The service recieved received was excellent. The staff was super friendly and attentive but not overbearing. That alone made the visit very enjoyable.
For the food:The menu has nice variety of South American style food. The pricing is fair. Portions are generous. The food is delicious and well prepared. Well worth the visit. Arepazo can easily be a favorite.
Drink menu: There is a very nice selection of soft drinks, beers, and cocktails which are well made and include real South American ingredients.
If one would like a break from the same old same old, Arepazo is a great option.
The food was really really good. And really different. Just awesome. So spicy, but just right. Plantains so sweet! It was great. Corey was our server and did a great job. Drinks were great, too! I had a jalapeno margarita and it wasn't like any jalapeno margarita I've had before! Reasonable price. Nice location and atmosphere.
There are tons of good-looking South American dishes on the menu here. I tried the shredded chicken arepa -- every component had good flavor. The side of plantains came in a large portion and were exactly what I'd want: crispy edges, golden, and sweet. Their cilantro sauce can probably go with anything on the menu. The spicy version pairs perfectly with sweet plantains, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have low spice tolerance. The place is really spacious inside and can seat about 30 on the patio (with umbrellas, too). I'm more than happy to come back and dive deeper into the menu here. Ordering ahead online is a quick and convenient added perk!
A nice discovery.
I didn’t know this places existed and I was a little skeptical at the beginning. However, when I went there everything changed my mind. The place is spacious and the environment is pretty characteristic (close to the South American style).
Food was delicious. We tried a lot of different things (papas, picada, Peruvian lomo saltado, chimichurri, etc.) and everything was tasteful and very enjoyable. Also the drinks were very good.
Service was great and price are on the average.
For sure it’s a place to try and enjoy.
I remember when Arepazo was just a hole in the wall in N Pearl St, downtown Cols. Then they opened this one in S High and another one in Gahanna. Sadly, Gahanna has closed. They have a great tasting cilantro sauce as a side condiment in their dishes, which they sell separately. Favorites are the fish tacos and the lomo saltado. For now, we tried their empanaditas and their crab cake entree. Both highly recommended!
First time in, ordered 3 apps, Papas Crollas very good. Empanadas very good! All the food came out HOT, that in itself is worth its weight in gold. The tostones and guacamole well that fell short comparatively. The tostones were very dark inside for what fresh tostones should be and the guacamole you was a little grayish. The flavor was good just a minute in the air to long. Over all will be back was good

Food is actually quite delicious. No 5 stars just because service seems to be a little hectic in terms of organization. Too many people just running around and no direction on addressing tables. They're helpful and nice just needs more organization. Again, food great, nothing negative on the food. Tad pricey for my taste but nonetheless probably a good date spot. I would gladly eat there again.
I went to dinner here with some colleagues while we were in town for a conference. They had some interesting dishes from other countries like pretty, Colombia, and Venezuela, that we haven’t seen at other restaurants, so we were excited to try something different. Our waitress was helpful with answering all of our questions about the menu. We loved the decor and atmosphere, and the food was delicious, so I’ll definitely stop the next time I’m in Columbus!
Such a cool place and amazing food. The caipirinha is top notch. Always amazing service and parking garage right next door. I love the cilantro sauce so much I buy some to take home.
Tasty food, a lovely patio, $5 happy hour margaritas and sangria. However, Parking isn't the most convenient.
If you have not been here you need to go! Service and food quality were amazing. We were greeted promptly and was paired with an amazing server. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and reccomended great dishes as first time visitors. Appetizer and main dishes came out quickly and drinks were flavorful and strong. Highly recommended!
Great atmosphere and food!! Crab cakes and plantains were delicious. I wish there was better parking but that's a City of Columbus issue. I will definitely be back to try other menu items.
