Oh Corn! Arepas And More - CLIFTON PARK

Total enjoyment!!! Spoke in length with the owner, (the most honored person at all, and so enthusiastic about their food)! She explained a bit about every dish and made me taste several! Gluten-free facility, aware of how to avoid contamination for people with celiac disease. New in the Clifton Park!!!

We got takeout on the way home Friday night. We were ravenous, so we started on the yuca frites on the drive home. Such a lovely, crunchy crispy texture, nicely seasoned, and very satisfying. If you put me in a corner with a bucket of them, you'd keep me happy for hours. I thought I'd be sad when they were gone, but! we were home and it was arepa time. Delicious fresh ingredients in the vegetarian arepa! Creamy avocado and feta, juicy tomatoes, young spinach leaves, with little pieces of heart of palm mixed in. The arepa by itself was a nice texture and delicious flavor; I'd happily eat one plain. And then I finished the wonderfully delicious arepa, and was sad it was gone. But then... I pulled out the tres leches cake! And it was perfection! Sweet, creamy and spongy, covered with a layer of whipped cream. I savored this as slowly as I could with three nosy cats trying to steal it from me. I'd say I was sad it was gone, but I was full and happy, and definitely want to have an excuse to go there again asap.

Stopped in today for the first time to grab some lunch. The arepas are wonderful and filling but not overly heavy. We tried the seasoned chicken and the shredded beef, both of which were glorious. The young man learning the ropes recommended the arepitas fritas, which were delightfully crunchy with the melty gouda, and the brown sugar lemonade, which was the perfect palette cleanser with our meal. Delicious!

This is one of the best authentic restaurants in the Capital region. Been here many times- seasoned chicken and pernil arepas are outstanding. Juices are great too. Also, the people working here are always friendly and helpful.

Favorite gluten free restaurant!! Amazing South American cuisine...Love this food!
