It started as a street grill stand and is now a small place with colorful tables and murals of corn cobs. The arepa is square, made of corn, opened like a pocket and stuffed: there are more than 40 options, at least 15 of them vegetarian or vegan, from shredded beef to mushrooms or hummus.
Each arepa comes with house sauces on separate plates, and there are fresh juices. They also sell honey, vinegar and coffee. It's open Tuesday to Sunday and public holidays from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m.; closed on Monday. Phone: 311 846 2774.
