Killer Arepas that satisfy. At first I was surprised to see them priced at ~RMB48 a pop, since the ones I'd previously tried at Moka/Mosto pop-ups cost closer to RMB 30 or so. When the food arrived, everything made sense. These arepas are BIG, about the same size as a burger. It helps to hold them with two hands. The fillings are piled in heavy, about an inch thick.
I think there's 8 different types, but two or three will easily leave you stuffed. Bring a couple friends and share if you're looking to try all the flavors. My top picks were the shredded beef or pork with cheese, both decadent and drippy, as well as the chicken avocado (i love the contrast of the cold filling with the hot grilled exterior of the arepa).
Besides the arepas, they've got a themed cocktail list - the one to go with seems to be the enormous mojito served in a shell/bowl.
And yes, they've got Jing-A on tap too, so I'm also a bit biased. *ok*
