Hola Arepa

"This sunny south Minneapolis weekend brunch spot offers one of arepas stuffed with chimichurri chicken, Argentinian steak and eggs, or Cuban ham — best paired with sides like crispy yuca hash, sweet corn pancakes with blueberry compote, and mango chia seed pudding. Brunch cocktails like chipotle Bloody Marys and mimosas are also available, as are a number of nonalcoholic cocktails." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"Hola Arepa is one of Minneapolis’s more vegan and vegetarian-friendly restaurants. Start with an order of yuca fries or sweet plantains, served with a zippy citrus crema: Meat-free mains here include jackfruit al pastor arepas, black bean and plantain bowls finished with a rich poblano sauce, and a vegan mango chia seed pudding." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"Hola Arepa sports two patios outside this fantastic budget-friendly restaurant serving fluffy corn cakes stuffed with all kinds of savory goods. Don’t miss out on the fresh cocktails." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"Hola Arepa offers heated seating in a cozy canopy-type space that’s carpeted with burgundy rugs. Lush ferns and philodendrons hang from the ceiling. The hearty arepas, from chimichurri chicken to black bean and sweet potato, are filling, warming dishes for the chillier months. Don’t skip the horchata pot de creme." - Eater Staff

"From Tuesday to Sunday, Hola Arepa’s late-night happy hour dazzles. While their $4 beer and wine list is nothing to scoff at, get something a little more special with a $6 cocktail from a rotating selection of house features. Drink it on the patio with an order of tortilla chips and salsas: a flight of three, ranging from a mild, tangy-sweet tomato to the verdant, sinus-clearing aji verde." - Eater Staff
