Hola Arepa

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.
