I’ll have to check out the Brooklyn location. I usually just get the arepas for take out in the East Village since the line is always so long. The De Pabellon is definitely my favorite.

CP, thanks! Do you know where I can buy it in NY?

The name of the cheese is Queso de año, but yes, sometimes we just call it salty white cheese.

Joanne, I’ve only eaten in the one in Brooklyn but it looks so much spacier and of course, the roneria makes a big difference.

I’ve only ever been to the one by Union Square. I’ve been meaning to go back sometime soon…and try the other location. Do you have a favorite?

Foodie, thanks again, had a great time.

EMC, it’s not that they didn’t know the name, they said they just call it salty white cheese. For the Hemmingway thing, I would expect nothing less of you.

Caroline, the Manhattan location doesn’t have the Roneria though!!

Joanne, which location did you go to or both?

I absolutely love this place! I have been there multiple times and have never been disappointed. It is where I discovered the deliciousness of arepas. What a great review.

Amazing shot you captured! I’ll try to check out their Manhattan location.

Too bad you couldn’t find out the name of that cheese–I’m intrigued! I do love me some cotija though.

Oh, and is it completely nerdy that any place I went to in Key West and McCall, Idaho (both places where Hemingway lived) I ordered any and every drink that bore his name?

Awesome review! Great photography.

Seriously, one more drink and you would have forgotten everything
