The fried pork belly is absolutely delicious. It's also very necessary to get the street corn appetizer. I love the plantain chips that come as a side, as well.
Love the food and drinks! The staff is very nice. Wish the place had more seating and parking. Definitely recommend call ahead for a reservation.
This place is amazing! Drinks, food and service were all excellent! The corn appetizer and ceviche is the best ever! I started with the blood orange margarita, shrimp ceviche and corn, split with three people. We each ordered an entree and we all left satisfied! The chicken soup is amazing as well! All around great spot to have dinner!
I ordered take out today in order to acquaint myself with the restaurant. The environment is cozy sexy cool-I love it (note to self-new hangout). The service was wonderful and I look forward to returning. Ok - I am not joking - the food was like I died and went to foodie heaven. I am a native of New Orleans and I am accustomed to well seasoned food. The food at Mais Arepas was scrumptious!!! The marinera arepas was not only aesthetically pleasing, it was also filled with grilled shrimp seasoned to perfection and a lovely array of citrus slaw, avocado, and red salsa. For desert, I have a slice of tres leches heaven. OMG - it was the most beautiful delicious, creamy, mouth watering cake slice covered with plump berries and rich creams. I might order this arepas every week this month before I become vegetarian lol. In December, I will order all vegetarian dishes. Tomorrow I will order the maiz de la rueda with my arepas : D
The food was delicious! Everything had lots of flavor, no heat, though. That surprised me. The corn appetizer had "spicy butter" on it. It was really good but not spicy. Next time, I will ask for spicy heat. There will be a next time for sure. Service was good.
Incredible! The Areias are full flavored, the sauces delicious, and the waitstaff friendly. I recommend the Mechada Arepa.
Yes! This place is delicious the corn appetizer was really unique and super tasty. All of our Arepas were amazing. Can't wait to go back!
No idea how people can say the meats were not flavorable or the food is expensive. One of the best new restaurant experiences in nola. I almost didn't want to post for fear that too many people will start going to this gem. Very clean, great staff, great drinks and just well seasoned and fresh food. The place is great!
Very good shrimp ceviche and arepas (chicharepa and carnicera) served by very friendly, competent staff. The place is clean, attractive, comfortable. High quality ingredients and good-sized portions.

I had the mechada, and it was perfect. So was the trio of sauces that came with the arepas. The food was was pricey, but filling. The service was also very nice, but they were quite busy and a bit slow even though it was a Wednesday night. I would definitely go back to try more!
It is a popular so it is better to make a reservation.
I ordered fried fish. It was very delicious to eat a bit, but it wasn't completely cooked and I told the clerk, he said Shall we remake it? But It took about another 30 minutes, so we didn't need it. I'm sorry that all the dishes were delicious.Instead, desserts and beer were free and offered discounts. Just be careful as it is a dangerous area.
In a search of great food in New Orleans, who knew this restaurant would exceed all of my expectations! A local friend recommended it and I honestly expected it to be a hole in the wall spot, but the atmosphere is beautiful!! Drinks were amazing and the FOOD!!! Whew, the food was seasoned to perfection, flavorful, plated pleasantly, had fresh ingredients, and full of love!! I went to many highly suggested restaurants while here and this one is #1 in taste, service, and atmosphere! If I had time, I would have gone back to order another Carnicera Arepa! I also ordered the Calde de Castilla soup expecting it to be an appetizer, but it was a whole meal! Mrs. Norma was an amazing server and even helped me with my Spanish. I’ll definitely go here every time I’m in the city!!
We went to this restaurant without a reservation and it was at least an hour long wait, so we sat at the bar. MAKE RESERVATIONS!! This place stays packed. While the food was delicious I found the portions small and overpriced. The ambiance was nice however. Parking was a little hard to come by as it’s street parking only so be prepared to look for parking as the area seems to be more residential than anything else.
Love the vibe in the bar area! Well-priced cocktails, wine and beer along with fabulous Columbian cuisine. Shareable plates. Fun place. Loved the Pisco Sour.
Amazing to see a Colombian restaurant nestled in the area
Ordered the bandeja paisa, arepa sampler (was mostly shredded meat) and arepa. The arepa was a sweet arepa, which are my favorite.
I also had the Agua de panela con limón , which is close to how my mom makes it when I visit home
Sat at the bar because the seats were filled, so I recommend making a reservation
Best Bandeja Paisa in the area.
place gets quite busy so calling ahead to reserve a table is highly encouraged.
Price is not cheap, but food is worth it.
Excellent quality food and flavors. Friendly and quick service. We had one app, two mains, two drinks, and one dessert for only $100. The tres leches was amazing. I do recommend reservations as it was totally full as soon as it opened. We will definitely come back.
Hands down the best arepas in the South! Every time we visit NOLA, this is the first place we go to. Earlier this year they also were super accommodating when we brought in a Bachelor Party where several folks had food allergies. Amazing food, amazing people - definitely check this place out.
This hidden gem was absolutely amazing! Food was so delicious! It is small, so be sure to make reservations before you go if you don't want a long wait in the tiny space by the bathroom.
They also don't split checks, which is fine if it's posted somewhere (door, menu, host stand), but it was not, so that was a little annoying.
Wow. A safe place to eat. Gluten-free in New Orleans is no small thing. The food was incredible. The atmosphere was lovely. The music was pleasant and not so loud that we couldn't hear each other talk. I highly recommend this place.
