Las Arepas De Julia offers a delightful menu that captures the essence of Colombian flavors, combining traditional ingredients and comforting dishes for a truly satisfying experience. As a food reviewer, I must say that their breakfast section, "Desayunos," is an absolute highlight. If you're looking for a hearty start to your day, the Calentao Antioqueño (Paisa Breakfast) is the way to go, offering a savory mix of rice, beans, beef, and eggs. For a simpler option, the Arepa Con Queso Campesino (Arepa with Fresh Cheese) is a light yet flavorful choice.
Moving on to the "Platos Fuertes" (Entrees), Las Arepas De Julia truly shines with bold and comforting dishes. The Chuleta Valluna (Breaded Chicken or Pork) is perfectly crispy on the outside while staying tender inside. If you're in the mood for something traditional, the Cazuela Con Todo (Beans Casserole with Everything) brings together a rich blend of beans and meats, making it a filling choice. Don’t miss the Tamal Antioqueño, a Colombian-style tamale packed with flavor and authenticity.
The "Las Arepas" section features some irresistible options like the Arepa Con Chorizo (Chorizo Stuffed Arepa) and the Arepa Chicharron y Guacamole Llanero (Arepa with Pork Belly and Guacamole), each one a perfect balance of textures and flavors. For a lighter snack, the Arepa Con Pollo Desmechado (Arepa with Shredded Chicken) is a great pick.
To round out the meal, indulge in a dessert such as the creamy Flan De Leche or the Brevás Con Arequipe y Queso (Figs with Arequipe and Cheese) for a sweet finish. Whether you're craving savory or sweet, Las Arepas De Julia's menu offers a fantastic variety that will make your taste buds dance.
