Hola Arepa is a Modern Latin restaurant in the Lyndale neighborhood of Minneapolis.
βHaven't been here in years but once the meal was finished I wonder what took me so long to get back. Couldn't recommend the Cuban arepa enough. The pulled pork melts in your mouth. On the side, the Yuca fries with chimichurri dipping sauce is a perfect complement. Even took an order to go! Oh, and they have a deliciously balanced mezcalrita the went down dare I say a little too easy. π A+!β
βThey offer several outside seating experiences. I was seated outside, but it was enclosed. Great vibe as the sun was getting lower in the sky. I ordered the yuca fries with aioli. They arrived fresh and very crispy. I highly recommend. I also had the torn sweet potatoes, that was an excellent choice too. Lots of great texture and flavor. I even loved their ice tea. It is an unsweetened black tea, but it has a tropical flavor to it. The dessert I chose was mango, chia, coconut pudding. It was a cool light dessert, just perfect! Service was great too! Relaxed, but I never wanted for anything. I highly recommend Hola Arepa!β
βHad such a fantastic night at Hola Arepa! This place is one of my favorites for good reason. The service is so friendly, and the Halloween vibes were on point, loved the decor and the themed cocktails (they really went all in). The sweet potatoes here are seriously underrated, easily one of my favorite sides anywhere. The steak arepa is perfection: tender, flavorful, and super satisfying and the hot honey chicken arepa is just as good. One of those spots that nails both food and atmosphere every time.β
βThis was our first time back here in a little while and Hola delivered as usual. We love the atmosphere and the general vibe and the staff is always very efficient and friendly, but the food is the star of the show here. We went with some Arepas which were delicious as always, some of the worldβs best Yucca fries and also tried the Pao burger off the Happy Hour menu for something different. We donβt usually order a burger in a place not known for it, but the Pao burger was phenomenal! Every thing they put on that burger made it a unique Hola creation and stand out among most burgers in the area. I have no good reason for not bring here more recently, but we will definitely be back again soon!β
βTried arepas for the first time and they did not disappoint! Their entrees portion sizing is very good! The mango chia pudding and chips and guacamole in the other hand need some work on portioning. Otherwise the restaurant is very cozy and beautifully decorated!!β
