This is my new favorite NOLA restaurant. I had the Acerra arepa, red sangria, and flan. My gluten-eating 7-year old had a cheese arepa and loved it. And my gluten-eating husband also loved his dish. And my son was surprised that I could eat off his plate as everything was GF. Delicious and no reaction. I stuffed myself.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant! EVERYTHING is GF which is so comforting. Can’t remember the last time I looked at a menu without scrutiny. Aside from from the GF element, the food is amazing whether you are GF or not. I had the lamb slides made from fried cornmeal and ribs as a main course and they were amazing. My wife had an Arepa which was great too. Portions are large, service is top-notch and food is excellent. If you are GF and NOLA go to Mais Arepa.

Both my parents and I are gluten intolerant and out of all the places we have ate at this is by far the best. I am a very picky eater and normally stick with yogurt/smoothies or grilled chicken for dinner. I’m not one to eat other cuisine’s food besides Mexican or Italian but this place was SOOOOO good! I didn’t order anything to start with but ended up trying my parents appetizer (bunuelos) and their main (cerda arepas) they were both delicious!! And of course we had to get dessert, tres leches cake was also amazing! I loved this restaurant and if you are in the area of New Orleans and are celiac or even if you can have gluten you have to try this place!! Can’t say enough great things😍

My family ate there this evening and the reviews are spot on. The food is amazing and the portions are generous. We all loved everything we ordered. Everything is gluten free! We were seated in the bar area, it was a Wednesday evening (7:30pm) and most of the crowd seemed young and “hip”. I’m older, so it was a bit loud for me, but I would’ve loved it in my 20’s! I’m Celiac sensitive and I had no issues.

If you’re a cautious celiac like myself, CALM THOSE WORRIES. Maïs arepas has got you covered. No worries if cross contamination and delicious food. My wife and I had the corn, and then got two arepas. Cerda and Buenaventura. So good! 12/10 would recommend. Next time I’m in NOLA, I’ll have to make a stop.

A gluten-free heaven! The entire place is gluten-free and we spoke with our server about it to confirm. We ordered the arepa sampler which was super yummy and I got the Carnicera Arepa which was delicious. Even their desserts are GF and I got a chance to order the Tres Leches cake. There’s also gluten-free beer on the menu. Such a wonderful experience.

Fantastic! We arrived just a little before the kitchen closed for the afternoon. It was very busy, so we ate at the bar. My husband and I shared 4 appetizers and we had leftovers (breakfast for me the next day!). We had the shrimp ceviche, arepas sampler, copitas, and brochetas. I am super sensitive and felt very safe here. We will be back next time we are in NOLA.

The ribs here were some of the best ribs we’ve ever had, we had the arepas sampler and all were delicious and the ceviche was incredible!
