"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. Online ordering is available via ChowNow, and reservations can be made on Resy." - Justine Jones
"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
"With boozy slushies and a jungle of plants, brunch at Hola Arepa feels like partying in a rainforest treehouse. There’s a variety of arepa fillings to choose from, but top picks are the slow-roasted pork or the vegetarian-friendly black bean version. Crunch your way through the rest of the morning with the chips and choose-your-own salsa trio (be sure to include the aji verde) paired with a Buenos Dias cocktail made with rum, cold brew, coconut cream, and cinnamon. On warm days, grab one of the stools at the outdoor bar and sip the Horchata Colada slushie spiked with rum." - stacy brooks
"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’s heated patio is open and serving those stuffed arepas and tropical drinks." - Joy Summers
