About this spot
Arepa Santa delivers the comforting, street-food soul of Chapinero with its signature corn cakes stuffed into crispy cascarones or served as hearty open-faced plates. The kitchen excels at making fluffy, golden arepas that hold up perfectly to savory fillings like shredded beef or melted cheese without becoming soggy.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'casco' style first if you want a crispier exterior and softer interior texture.
- Ask for extra butter on the side to toast your arepa directly at the table before adding toppings.
- Expect a casual counter-service vibe where seating is limited, so grab a quick bite to go.
