Hola Arepa

So here's the deal.  This was the most delicious meal I've had in a restaurant in a while.  This food truck-turned-brick-and-mortar restaurant featuring Latin street food is absolutely next level.  I was so excited to go on Sunday to cross it off my list, but after tasting the food, it become clear that I could only put a little check next to it.  I simply must try everything on the menu before I can "cross it off".  Here's a list of the things I loved about it:

• The food is entirely fresh and new - who the heck knows what an arepa is anyway?  (a flat bread made of ground corn that's somewhat pancakey)
• Everything on the menu is gluten-free
• They combine fun flavors such as plantain/shredded beef/black bean, pulled pork/sweet potato
• They have a big patio as well as an open air restaurant
• The cocktails...I can't even
• The chips are homemade, warm, wonderfully salted and the accompanying trio of salsas are fresh with interesting flavors
• The meals are accompanied by yucca fries and your choice of spicy mayo or pesto for dipping
• The meals are all $12 and under and are suuuuuper filling
• yum.

Go check this place out.   And then go to Lake Harriet to walk it off.  And then go to Sebastian Joes for ice cream.  I like to think in groups :)
