And here to think I'm in Season Two of "Narcos."

My son says I need to watch 'Narcos', & I tried Arepas Capitol down in Woodbridge & it was awesome-fresh & delicious.  My only experience was years ago at La Caraquena, & this topped it!

I lucked out again yesterday- I had to meet a friend down in Woodbridge (she lives in Montclair) & I picked Arepas Capitol off of Yelp.  It was awesome, & I don't understand why it was not packed at lunchtime yesterday.  Next to BJ's, small storefront- I ordered the Reina pepiada (chicken salad w/ avocado) arepa & the empanada pabellon (shredded beef, cheese, plantains) .  They were both amazing, delicious, my friend got a regular shredded beef & cheese empanada, but then ordered 2 empanada pabellon for dinner that night.  Service & food were excellent, & I'm looking forward to heading that way & trying out more stuff (but I think I ordered the perfect items, if that makes sense).

We tried this place because of this review and we definitely agree. Had 2 empanadas, a Cuban sandwich and the arepa with beef and cheese.  I did not know this place has been open for 2 years and we only live about five minutes away. We will be back.
