“ I was super excited to try this location since I had already gone to the one in Jackson Heights. I decided to throw my birthday brunch with my friends and family since I knew the food would not disappoint. The decor inside is awesome for pictures and they have a beautiful bar and always great music playing in the background. You cannot beat their brunch prices since it is $20 for a bottomless sangria, margarita, Bellini or mimosa for 90 minutes. They have a vast selection arepas, calentado or burger that range from $15-$20. Definitely in the budget. The calentado was a pretty big size and very filling. The arepa rellena was so delicious. The drinks were flowing and our server had our glasses filled up every minute of the brunch. I cannot wait to come here in the summertime to enjoy their outside patio. ”

“ The arepas are fantastic, the best in the neighborhood. I wasn't sure how much I liked arepas but it turns out that I really, really do. I had simply never had versions that were this good before. For my first timers, one arepa is more than enough as an entree. Especially if you order apps, like the delicious Deditos de Queso (basically Colombian mozzarella sticks). The arepa varieties are interesting. The Arepo de Queso (with sirloin) was my favorite. It feels like the old Xzibit meme, "dawg, I heard you like cheese..." because they literally stuff your arepa full of cheese then pour layer upon layer of cheese on top of it. I also added avocado. It was a delight. Though less cheesy (seriously how could anything be more cheesy?) the Arepa de Choclo was also really good. It was slightly sweet and definitely giving cornbread vibes. The atmosphere at Arepa Lady is thumping. It has a full bar, dim lighting, and throbbing bass. It's a cool and fun place to start a weekend night. ”

“ I have been to the Astoria and Jackson Heights locations multiple times, and I can attest both are solid 5/5s. When I go to Arepa Lady, I typically indulge myself with an arepa de queso (I usually get mixed- chorizo, carne asada, pollo). The meat is always perfectly cooked, seasoned and is as juicy as one could ask. The arepa itself is always perfectly done, crisp on the outside and warm & cheesy on the inside. I can easily say the arepa de queso from Arepa Lady is my single favorite meal in New York City. In addition to the arepas, the sides I've tried (maduros & tostones) are consistently great! The maduros are always ripe, a little crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. I have NEVER gotten an under ripe or dry maduro from Arepa Lady. The tostones are also perfectly done- no notes, just delicious. If you are looking for an amazing flan, then look no further! Arepa Lady doesn't just excel in arepas, their flan is also the very best in New York City. The flan is perfectly sweetened with a perfect soft, yet firm consistency. I rarely pass on dessert at Arepa Lady. The service at Arepa Lady is always fast and friendly (at both Jackson Heights and Astoria locations). The only deciding factor in which location in Queens to go to depends on the vibe you are looking for. If you are looking for a cozy vibe, go to the Jackson Heights location. If you want a modern vibe with a bar and televisions, go to the Astoria location. Bonus: The Astoria Arepa Lady also has a $35 per person bottomless brunch. I challenge you to find a better deal for both the quality of food and sangria! ”

“ If you want arepas this is a good place to come to. Came for brunch-- I got the arepa rellena which comes with grilled onions, cheese, chorizo, and sweet plantains. It was very good and filling. The yuca fries are also very good. They have bottomless brunch for 90 minutes, I got the passion fruit sangria which was good-- a little tart but good. The servers don't even wait until you are done with your drink before they are refilling it which was great! Music was good, space was nice, clean and well lit. ”

“ Food: This was my first time trying Colombian food, and it was delicious! My friend is Colombian so she had us order a little bit of everything to give us a taste of the cuisine. Personally, I thought the apple soda was way too sweet, but their juices were fresh and perfectly sweet. I would recommend their lula juice. We ordered a platter of different meats, which included beef, chicken, sausage, and chicharron. This was very good and perfect if you have a group to share it with. The meats were moist and well-seasoned. We also tried different types of arepas, including savory and sweet ones. You can order the arepas with or without cheese stuffed inside; I ordered the one with cheese, but next time would probably leave it out because it was a little bit heavy in addition to the meat on top. You have your choice of meat or vegetable on top of the arepa. My favorite was the sweet one with cheese inside because it was a nice balance of sweet and savory. For dessert we also ordered the hot chocolate con queso which my friend described as a very traditional Colombian drink. Service: Service was excellent here, and the staff were very friendly and came back to check on us throughout the meal. Ambiance: The place can accommodate small and large groups. They keep the place dark for ambiance, and it can get quite noisy as the restaurant gets busy but overall seating was comfortable. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant! ”

“ Made reservations for 4, it was only 3 of us. Kind of empty in a Friday. But it was the Friday after thanksgiving. Really cute place they even have outdoor seating for the nicer weather. Nice date night atmosphere. Music was 10 out of 10. I never really had Colombian food so wasn't sure what to expect. We order a platter with different meats and some assorted empanadas. I tried the beef it was shredded and it came with a nice cilantro kind of dip. The empanadas also came with a variation of sauces. The meat platter had chicken. Steak, chorizo and chicharron. We had margaritas they weren't that strong we also had shots. ”

“ Waitress is very informal and needs better interpersonal skills. Food was amazing especially the sauces. Great music and they have pictures of owner who started on a food truck, amazing story. Outdoor seating and full bar. Great place overall. ”

“ If you're after a club vibe with your arepa, you have found your haven. This place has a loud party vibe on weekends with an in house DJ playing. While not your average arepa spot, it's enjoyable and unique. Something to take out of towners to for a real NY experience. Food: 4/5. The food is fast casual, and very tasty. Huge portions, and two arepas filled me up. Drinks: 4/5. Not the most subtle but they were tasty And fairly priced. Service: 3/5. Took a bit longer than expected after the faster service at the food trucks. However they were nice Vibe: 4/5. Very unique and like a party. Something for a nice change of pace ”

“ Craving a taste of Colombia? Look no further than Arepa Lady! This cozy Colombian restaurant, owned by my best friend's family, is a true culinary treasure in the heart of Jackson Heights. Her grandma, a former lawyer in Colombia, took her love for arepas to the streets of Roosevelt Ave. with a food cart! After years of hard work and saving up, they finally opened their own storefront, and the rest is history. Trust me when I say, Arepa Lady is the real deal. From the mouthwatering food to the unbeatable vibes and amazing people, this place truly feels like my second home. If you haven't tried their arepas, you're missing out! Come join the family and support local businesses like theirs. ”

“ I have been to the Jackson heights location but have been meaning to try this one since it has opened up! I love all the restaurants on the block itself & finally decided to come here with some friends! The aesthetic is nicer than the other locations, "Instagram worthy" as one of my friends said haha. The menu is pretty simple, you have some apps, patacones & the arepas. The guac appetizer was a small portion, but tasty! I also tried a frozen mango marg & it was light on alcohol, but the arepa definitely made up for it! I would come here again for the arepas! ”
