We liked the balance of flavors in this offering, and we could definitely see ourselves getting it again.

The Mayo-ketchup and cilantro were a much needed addition to the mozzarella arepa, although it seemed a little skimp on the cheese this time around. But overall, it was much improved with the sauce.

Wow, this is absolutely adorable and delicious. There was very little chicken in our bowl, but there’s a plentiful amount of beans and corn. The green chili flavor is zesty and flavorful, but not to the point of being spicy.

The cornbread felt a little stiff and we fully expected to be disappointed, but that was the highlight of the dish. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and we really wish we could just take a few of these home. Dipped in the stew it was the perfect combination. Slightly sweet and totally savory, a delicious and wonderful choice!
