Review
I was so excited to go here but the experience was pretty underwhelming. Two workers snickered about making sure my arepas were heated in a safe pan. They stopped when I gave them a look but the damage was done; my daughter saw it too so I am not crazy. Then my arepas were barely warmed - my cheese one was filled with unmelted shredded cheese coming out of it and I honestly don’t know if the chicken salad one was supposed to be hot or cold. The taste was fine but not memorable. I didn’t get sick, so I guess it was an “ok” option driving between KC and STL but I have no desire to go back.

Delicious gluten free Venezuelan style arepas. Think corn based hot pockets with different fillings and sauces
