Maizal Latin American Street Food

I wanted to avoid a review and give them the advantage of the doubt. Maybe the first two were random? but after my third time food poisoning eat their food, I feel best to warn others. beware! you did it well.

Interesting little spot. I got a bowl and three empanadas. The empanadas were a little bland, I ate two different ones and really couldn’t tell the difference. But the bowl was awesome. They have a good variety of toppings. I will go back.

Really delicious authentic Latin American street food! I like that there are several options to order smaller items for $3-5 so you feel like you can try a lot of things without having too much food. This restaurant is a counter in the Ballston Quarter food court (basement level). I have noticed that the hours of most of the places here have been shortened and some days they aren’t open at all, so it’s hit or miss and Google hours aren’t always accurate. But the food is great! Definitely recommend for a quick bite!

I just keep going because the arepa is not bad. But they treat you terribly, it seems like they are doing you a favor you do not deserve. I have gone there 5 times and they’re either closed earlier than it says on website or opened but simply not serving food. Consider yourself lucky if you can actually eat an arepa there. I do not recommend it.

We had several different arepas and the sweet potato fries. The food was good. We'll definitely order from Maizal again.
