Reviews for The Arepa Place in Cincinnati, OH
Arepa Place is one of my favorite restaurants in Cincinnati. The corn empanadas are heavenly. Everything that I have eaten there... is delicious and their salsas are so fresh and zesty. It?s small inside but if it?s a good weather day there is plenty ofoutside seating. 5 STARS!!! For sure. Read more
Celiac safe. I believe the entire menu is gluten free, as is their fryer. Most importantly, nearly the entire menu can be... made dairy free! I believe they are also nut free (call to confirm). The cashier was very knowledgeable and helpful. Did Imention the food is delicious as well? Oh yeah :-) The dining area is small, but there is plenty of seating outside aroundFindlay Market. This amazing restaurant is a must visit for allergy sufferers. It will not disappoint! Read more
I came here to get the empanadas. They have a crunchy corn exterior that is really good. In my opinion they are over priced. I... got 2, one beef one chicken. Although I thought the taste was good, and the verde good as well, they were small and didn?t havea lot of meat. I spent $8 on 2. After I ate my friend decided to go to the bbq place next door. He got a pulled pork sandwich.His $7 sandwich was HUGE. It had enough meat that after he ate his sandwich he could have made 2 more sandwiches with the meatleft over and he said it was good. I definitely regretted my decision to eat here instead of next door considering thedifference in amount for how much money we both spent. Read more
it was my first time having arepas and wow 10/10 recommend. the meal is big enough to split if you wanted and has such good... flavor and texture (the fried plantains was such a new-to-me and tasty addition). when I was there it was a little slower so meand my girlfriend got to chat with the owner who was so incredibly king and friendly and we got to learn a little bit abouttheir history and the process of making the food.

Fabulous food! We had several ages and tastes and everyone loved every item we ate! All gluten free and so so good you would... never guess it! Juices are refreshing and not fake nor syrup tasting? just fresh goodness from start to finish! Cannot wait tobe back and eat more! People were so friendly and it was clean and a fun atmosphere too! Highly recommend! Read more
Support small local businesses! Great place for fresh cooked food. The arepas and empanadas are amazing. All gluten-free menu. A... few items to shop for fresh ingredients to take home. Worth stopping in while visiting Findlay Market. Read more
First time here and wow! Two YUMS waaaaay up! This is authentic Colombian cuisine. The small restaurant is bright, fun and... inviting- conveniently located at Findlay Market next to Eli?s bbq. We had the beef and chicken arepa with verse and ajisalsas. We added fried plantains and guac. We added the sweet plantains on the side (instead of in the arepa). Glad we didbecause we aren?t used to mushy sweet plantains inside a ?wrap.? We loved it all! And we?ll be back. Besides a very skimpyguac, everything was perfect. The chicken and cheese arepa was probably the favorite of the two. VERY much drippy and messy buta great taste. We added verde, aji and guac with each bite. The sauces really make it nice. When we got there, we noticed themany other items (drinks and food) in the refrigerators on the side. Fantastic, authentic selections. We will be back a LOT! Read more
I have been meaning to stop by the Arepa Place while in Cincy. I am usually in the city for an event or to meet up with someone... and then I am gone. When buying comic books, I walk by here often. This past weekend, I went to pick up my son from UC and wedecided to eat there. I do not regret the decision. The food was fresh and it wasn't as long as I thought it would take (goodfood equals a long wait time - and well worth the wait). The place is small but big enough for people to sit down and eat. Inoticed they also sold items I consumed as a kid in NYC. So I went ahead and copped a few items (cream of coconut for mycoquito!). I will definitely return here with the family. Read more
