"Delicious! HUGE portion size. A ton of meat. Great flavor. good sauces. A little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for. I got the larger Bandeja Arepalicious and was not disappointed. This could easily be 2-3 meals. I wish they didn't charge extra for their sauces tho. Arepa was slightly crispy on the outside and super soft and buttery on the inside. steak, chicharron and rice was cooked perfectly but could use a little salt. beans had tomatoes and onions and delicious. plantain was camelized perfectly. blood sausage and chicken were delicious too! I called and asked to exchange my Chimichurri (4 oz.) to the hot green sauce and they were very helpful."
"We order here pretty regularly! The food is almost always consistently good, save for an occassionsly brown bit of avocado. I've ordered the Chicharron (Pork Skin) several times and it has been left out of the order on more than one occasion, so there's your warning. But when it does come it's very good! And the Chicken Arepacone is outstanding."

"packaged well. good value. I loved the crunchwrap supreme. I had it with the potatoes rather than the meat. very tasty."
"3 Doritos® Locos Tacos Combo - didn't receive my drink which was already a credit order from the last order when I received the wrong drink. And despite specifically ordering the flavor Hot Sauce Packet and specified quantity, this Taco Bell either doesn't send sauce packets at all or send random sauce flavors that I didn't order and don't like. I order their food because I like the taste of their offerings (if the right sauce is sent) and price is reasonable. Unfortunately the staff's attention to receipt detail is always lacking. I also order from Taco Bell because it's the only late night delivery in the area I work."

"Used Apple TV remote for size reference. They are both small bites, but enough to feed one person and being satisfied. Affordable, fresh cooked, delivered pretty quick. Spicy sauce has a KICK at the end, and plenty of sauce for the distribution of chicken. Love this place. Oh! Fries are great too!"
"I cant believe I wasted $30 and my cheat meal on this nonsense. Typically, I order from Bareburger but i waited too late and tried to get something new. Ordered CLASSIC BURGER SEASONED FRIES and SODA. Only thing I had no complaints about was the soda. I dont consider myself to be someone sensitive to salt but those fries and that nonexistent burger were excessively salty. For the burger, it was 95% bread, tasteless cheese and the tomato was thicker than the burger patty. I would never order from this spot again. They charge a much as the craft burger spots but are selling mcdonalds quality burger patties on "artisan" buns. They need to improve "
