Arepas El Cacao - Orlando

Every time I visited Arepas El Cacao, the food was consistently outstanding! While I would consider the prices to be a bit high, the freshness and great taste make it worth it. The fruit juices are also delightful and refreshing.

Now, about the Cacao Number 1—there's a reason it's ranked number one, enough said! Seriously, the explosion of flavors in this arepa is out of this world. It's an amazing experience! The spiciness is just right; you can taste everything separately if you want without anything tasting overcooked or overly spiced. Generously sized, it’s more than enough for an adult, whether you're very hungry or a little less so. The service was quick and friendly. However, I do think the cleanliness of the two tables outside should be a top priority. I understand the challenges of running a restaurant, but with Florida nearing the top for COVID cases, cleanliness should be a main concern. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

The food was decent, but the service was disappointing. A young man and a young woman were working, and they spent most of their time chatting about everything except their jobs. After waiting for 20 minutes with no attention from them, I had to ask about my order, and only then did they start preparing it.
