This establishment offers authentic Colombian cuisine they have plant based/ vegan options. They restaurant has a nice vibe at a reasonable price. The food is delicious, the staff was friendly, helpful and offered great recommendations, my service was fast. I’ve been exploring authentic foodie spots dining on the 7 train this is a great stop.
what can I recommend about Arepa Lady? what is there not to like, of course the arepas are awesome but have you tried the burger my mouth is watering just writing this. what about the picada, meat lover heaven steak, chicken, chorizo, chicharrón, guac and fried arepa de tela which are like tortilla chips but 100 times better. I know im missing something from this dish so just imagine how much food is in this dish for two.
I brought my friends here after doing a food tour in Queens with Esneider from Culinary Backstreets. Esneider talked about his mom, the “arepa lady” who I had heard about before but a never tried. I’m so glad I came all the way back out to try the arepas! There was a wait but we were happy to walk around the neighborhood (lots to see!). Came for lunch and ordered 1 arepa per person just enough to fill our bellies. Great service too.

Great place to eat. Very friendly service, great food and then place was not crowded. Would definitely eat there again, even with the travel time for me. The food was very flavorful, not greasy and decently portioned.
Their arepas are so good! I love their different sauce choices. The food is relatively cheap and made me full! Would recommend this place if you’re in the area.
Heavenly!!! Especially the arepa de queso. So. Good.Can't wait to come back!
Place: Medium-sized restaurant with tables varying from couples to groups of 8 (potential for more). Center of Jackson Heights, so good luck with parking! Very close to the subway stations anyhow. Single-room bathroom, very spacious and clean. Spacious layout so wheelchair and stroller-friendly!Food: It was phenomenal. Everything. My group of 5 (+1 toddler) loved all of our dishes - mini empanadas (beef, cheese, chicken), guacamole with fried arepas (!!!!!!!!), street corn, chicharron, etc. Best arepas we have all ever had.Drinks: We ordered a pitcher of passion fruit sangria and it was refreshing, good amount for ~1.5 glasses per person. Not too potent, but enough for a very light buzz for the non-frequent-drinker. Sangrias and margaritas are machine-mixed.Price: Affordable - for a group of 5.5, each eating at least two appetizers or appetizer/entree, plus pitcher = ~$140Service: Very friendly crew. Our server and host were relaxed, let us take our time, and the food came out pretty quickly with great quality.Highly recommend!! Can’t wait to come back here!
Muy buen servicio, estaba muy cerca pero no podía ir a recoger mi pedido y muy amables me lo enviaron. Y lo mejor de todo delicioso
Had a very pleasant experience with their Arepas. The prices although can be slight much for the portion size but the taste makes it worth. The sauces (Pineapple and Cilantro mayo) elevated everything. Would definitely come here again for my next visit to Brooklyn. Servers were very friendly as well.
