Authentic arepas - Edit
You could choose whatever ingredients you want or pick one of the menu items. There were only a couple of vegan menu items. Tasted good and the honey sweetened sodas were great! The arepas were large and difficult to eat.
Read morePros: Has vegan arepas and bowls, Authentic Colombian food and ambiance , Uses eco-friendly utensils
Cons: Arepas have too many chicpeas

Unique! - Edit
Love finding some unique-to-me vegan food. The arepas was crisper/chewier than I expected, and really yummy. Avocado both on top and bottom of the pocket, stuffed in between with chickpeas, a tomato and a piece or two of cauliflower. Don’t try eating on a first date! Otherwise, you’ll love it. Appreciate the vegan options, and being totally gluten free! Decent size, but I needed a bit more to make it a full meal.

I’ve died and gone to heaven - Edit
We live two hours away and would come to Portland just for these arepas.
Read moreThe bean and cheese is delicious and the yucca arepita are little pillowy delights. The dips are creative and outstanding and the interior is really well decorated and welcoming. Would love to try more of the menu next time we’re in town!
Pros: Easy online ordering/pick up, Great funky vibe, Outstanding food

Delicious Arepa - Edit
It was such a treat to even find an arepa in Portland, but even better to find such tasty ones at Maiz. They are located on the second floor of the public house, and there are several options for casual dining here. The arepa are filled with a variety of toppings... they have a vegan option with chickpeas and cauliflower or a vegetarian one filled with cheese. They also have a yummy vegan cilantro sauce. I didn’t try their coffee, but they appear to have a nice selection of espresso based drinks.
Read morePros: Yummy , Quick
Cons: Limited veggie options

👌🏼 - Edit
Vegan option clearly labeled—arepa stuffed with cauliflower, chickpeas, tomatoes, onions and avocado. Super yummy! Have 3 sauces to choose from but only the cilantro sauce is vegan. (It’s a tasty sauce, I’ve really started to dislike cilantro for some reason lately but this sauce was tangy and not too cilantro-y!) You get a good size for the price and it’s really filling. Would highly recommend.
