It was real good I'd recommend trying the chicken arepa S Rogan27/01/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took our little girl to have lunch here for her third birthday and we absolutely loved it. We got the chicken, ham and cheese, and burger arepa as well as the mango juice which the lovely lady working was so kind to let us sample before buying too. Great service and delicious food. Definitely coming back! A Moza15/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Buen servicio y la comida deliciosa 😊 L Mitchell13/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first time eating at El Molina Arepa Bar, and I’m so glad we decided to try something new. I usually stick to the usual Japanese or Chinese spots (and yes, the free samples 😅) when I’m at the mall food court, but tonight we stopped by El Molina—and it did not disappoint. We were greeted by Karla, who provided absolutely amazing customer service. I’m currently on a strict diet plan, and she was so patient, helpful, and knowledgeable in customizing my bowl to fit my needs. You could truly feel the love and passion she has for what she does—something that feels rare in today’s society. The food was super fresh, healthy, and delicious. In fact, we had ordered the usual Japanese food for my grandfather, but once he saw my bowl he said, “Let me try it.” Next thing I knew, I had to order another bowl because he completely demolished mine 😂 — that alone says everything! The ladies running this spot are truly wonderful and are blessing the community with their cuisine and energy. They even joked that they’d come to my house and cook 😂—that’s how welcoming the experience was! I highly recommend El Molina Arepa Bar if you’re at Chesterfield Towne Center and looking for great food with even better service. I will definitely be back!
