Arepas & Co, Colombian Comfort Foods

Amazing. My new favorite restaurant in Dayton. I always take out-of-town (and in-town friends here. Every single one of them looooves it, too.

I could eat here everyday. It's a little overwhelming at first with so many different sauces and the fact that I don't know anything about Columbian food. But the staff are very friendly and help guide you. I've sampled a lot from here recently and I have to say the party in your mouth dish is the first thing I always think of when someone asks what I'm doing for dinner. The location is tucked away but once you find it, you may never forget it.

A lovely little hole in the wall! I had heard great things about this place from a number of people. The decor is sparse and this is the kind of place where you are served on paper plates (my kind of place). The food does not disappoint. Especially the pork. We tried a few menu items to get a feel for what is good. Our favorite was the empanadas. The thick corn shell was beautifully cooked and tasted amazing with the garlic mayo and scorcho sauces. I also love plantains and the patacones were perfectly cooked and well salted. The cook/manager/owner? Was a lovely woman who made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back.

I was nearby attending a conference and I am so happy a local recommended we eat here. They were right! This place was absolutely delicious. We loved the variety of food on the menu and gladly allowed the two women at the counter to recommend what we should eat. They set us up! We tried a little of everything on the menu and we also ran across the street to purchase a few bottles of wine which is completely allowed!

I don 't even know where to begin with this place. I have loved Arepas&Co. Since they touched down! I remember back when they open in the WYMPEE building a few years ago. They quickly became a fan favorite for locals in the area! Word began to spread and now they are a must-see location in the downtown area. In addition to a new menu item, each time I go I can 't resist putting in an order for BUÑUELOS!! Those things are addictive! I dip them in the variety of sauces that are offered, to change the flavor and intensity of the amazingly light and crunchy fried goodies! I order them my own special way and that 's how they remember me here haha! It means a lot to be able to come to a place where they know me by my unique order! Everything I 've ordered here has been great! Recently I tried the Arepas with beef (add fried egg, rice and cheese; with Creamy Cilantro and Garlic Mayo)...ANOTHER HIT OUT OF THE PARK! This place has a solid fan here! Can 't wait to see these guys again soon when I 'm in the Dayton area!
