Arepita Beach - Daytona Beach

We went there at 3pm on a Saturday. Very small crowd due to the time. Food was good, but not worth the price. No problem parking on street. You order at counter and they bring you the food, so not really anywhere the service can go wrong. Beers were way overpriced, food just overpriced.

So here goes. As usual, I'm always blunt and honest. The restaurant is on the first floor, and it's confusing as to what to do. There is limited signage. You order at the counter, and then you can sit. Food will be brought to you. There is limited seating on the first floor. There is a long staircase upstairs that leads to additional limited seating. After ordering we waiting almost an hour for food. We were told that there was a fire in the kitchen. However, there were tables around us being served fairly quickly. I ordered something that I was unclear about. However, it was good. The empanadas are excellent. Even though we waited longer than we should have, the food was great quality. Our table was dirty when we sat, and it took 30 mins or more before it was wiped. It was not fully cleaned but just wiped down. So, the food is delicious. The service and wait was very frustrating. The decor is very nice and fits the location well. While it was great food, I won't be back because of service and lack of communication.Wheelchair accessibility: This is very limited and would only be on the first floor where there are on two small tables.

Not at all like what they showed on ?. The food was cold, dry and overpriced. An additional .50 charge was added to each item without any explanation then added to the tax bill. Terrible atmosphere with dirty staircase leading up to the eating area. No ice available. First and last time you’ll see us there.Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair or elevator accessibility to get to the eating area.

The food was great, the empanadas were delicious, and the arepas were on point. I'm just disappointed they didn't have tequenos early in the morning. My only suggestion is to open up more space by the front counters so it doesn't feel crowded.

Food was cold. Ok flavor. Shocked to discover that an extra .50 cents per item ordered was added to the bill, even on every $3 can of coke. When I questioned the extra charges the employee said he didn’t know why and that the register puts it there automatically. Place was dirty, specially the staircase to the top dinning area. Old rusty metal chairs were the only ones available for sitting. Very unappetizing atmosphere. Once the food was served we never saw the one and only employee. I believe there was one lady doing the cooking in the back. Do not plan to return.Parking: No restaurant parking. Take your chances finding a spot on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: None available if you want upstairs dining. First level is too narrow for a wheelchair.
