El Arepazo is the legendary Columbus restaurant known for healthy food, comfortable setting, friendly people and affordable prices. At our restaurant, we prepare the traditional Arepas, corn pancakes from Colombia’s and Venezuela’s gastronomy.
Come in and try our deliciously fresh and healthy Latin American food, Veggie and Avocado salads or a whole Grande Bandeja Paisa for lunch. Established in 2005. Arepazo has been a Central Ohio staple for over 10 years. Whether visiting our small lunch location in Pearl Alley, our tapas and wine location in Gahanna, or our large tapas bar and grille in the Brewery District, we have just the right location for your next gathering!
Arepazo is owned by Carlos and Carolina Gutierrez. Carlos’ family started out selling their Venezuelan Arepas at Columbus’ Latin Festival. Upon seeing the popularity of their booth, and with lots of positive feedback and encouragement, he decided to start El Arepazo Latin Grill. Shortly after, Carolina also became an owner, and brought with her the addition of new menu items from her Colombian background. The combination of dishes from all over Latin America, with a special focus on Venezuelan and Colombian, turned out to be just what Columbus needed.
Around 2010, Carlos and Carolina decided it was time to open another location. This new location would offer dinner as well as lunch, a full bar, and an expanded menu.
