Mais Arepas

In a search of great food in New Orleans, who knew this restaurant would exceed all of my expectations! A local friend recommended it and I honestly expected it to be a hole in the wall spot, but the atmosphere is beautiful!! Drinks were amazing and the FOOD!!! Whew, the food was seasoned to perfection, flavorful, plated pleasantly, had fresh ingredients, and full of love!! I went to many highly suggested restaurants while here and this one is #1 in taste, service, and atmosphere! If I had time, I would have gone back to order another Carnicera Arepa! I also ordered the Calde de Castilla soup expecting it to be an appetizer, but it was a whole meal! Mrs. Norma was an amazing server and even helped me with my Spanish. I’ll definitely go here every time I’m in the city!!

It is a popular so it is better to make a reservation. I ordered fried fish. It was very delicious to eat a bit, but it wasn't completely cooked and I told the clerk, he said Shall we remake it? But It took about another 30 minutes, so we didn't need it. I'm sorry that all the dishes were delicious.Instead, desserts and beer were free and offered discounts. Just be careful as it is a dangerous area.

Amazing to see a Colombian restaurant nestled in the area Ordered the bandeja paisa, arepa sampler (was mostly shredded meat) and arepa. The arepa was a sweet arepa, which are my favorite. I also had the Agua de panela con limón , which is close to how my mom makes it when I visit home Sat at the bar because the seats were filled, so I recommend making a reservation

We went to this restaurant without a reservation and it was at least an hour long wait, so we sat at the bar. MAKE RESERVATIONS!! This place stays packed. While the food was delicious I found the portions small and overpriced. The ambiance was nice however. Parking was a little hard to come by as it’s street parking only so be prepared to look for parking as the area seems to be more residential than anything else.

This hidden gem was absolutely amazing! Food was so delicious! It is small, so be sure to make reservations before you go if you don't want a long wait in the tiny space by the bathroom. They also don't split checks, which is fine if it's posted somewhere (door, menu, host stand), but it was not, so that was a little annoying.
