Amaize

So I was a little skeptical about coming to this arepa place. Being that my mom is Venezuelan and I grew up in a home that arepa and pasta (yassss) were part of my life I said, why in the world am I going to go out to 'eat arepa '? If you must know, two things I don 't go out to eat for are Italian food and Venezuelan food. Well, I already was upset about coming in and paying so much for something that was my every day bread. Let 's just say this place SHUT me UP! I love he concept they have kind of like a chipotle that you can see all the fresh ingredients and get everything prepared but also very quick since you first order then go to the register and pay. I thought this was pretty cool. Ok enough about what doesn 't matter, what does matter is their FOOD! I ordered an arepa (wish I could remember the name) came with beans, shredded meat (which they kindly substituted for abundant avocado), sweet plantains, cheese, nata (like a sour cream) and I forgot what else. Basically my first bite left me speechless, I had to have more. I was looking like a total weirdo staring at my arepa with my heart eyes and eating it (total weirdo). So stinking delicious! Also ordered a cachapa..left me silent. SO AMAZING!!!!!!! All their area options are to die for. If you 're skeptical about eating arepa outside of your house because your mom makes it better? Come to this place, arepas taste better than how your grandma makes it! And if your grandma and mom never made these for you, it 's ok, let Amaize AMAIZE you with their amazing arepas and much more! :: cleans up mouth watering ::

Had a shredded beef arepas. It was different. Made of corn. My only issue would be GMO and pesticides. I didnt ask if the corn was organic. Also theres blue and purple corn as well as yellow. I will ask if you can get the more blood sugar friendly corn. Anyway the beans were good and they serve unsweetened tea. Overall good trip

Great food and service was quick and food was fresh. The issue I had was the rice in my bowl was hard like it was the last of and they scraped it out from the bottom. Not very good, I kindly returned it and they fixed it and it was perfect. I jdid not get any apologies from the management or staff about the hard rice it felt as if the hard rice was my fault. Overall I would come back.

My wife and I really love this place! Everything we've tried is really tasty. The staff is very friendly and willing to explain Venezuelan food to those who are unifamiliar. This restaurant presents Venezuelan food in a contemporary way.

First, the staff was absolutely amazing. The woman who took our order was truly helpful in making decision. The manager was great at making us feel welcome. Second, the food was phenomenal. I ordered the mechado mix with pork. It was delicious from start to finish. Impossible to eat without a knife and fork but worth every bite and calorie.
