The Borough Market area is great. All the food is amazing with tons of options. However, La Pepia's arepas were by far our group's favorite meal. Tasty and easy to eat while exploring the market. Definitely give them a try!

I ordered the cheddar cheese and halloumi and I agree with other reviewer, it was cold and pretty bland. I was also underwhelmed with the service. Kinda bummed this was my first time trying arepas. —- I informed the person selling that it’s my first time trying arepas and I wasn’t given any instructions as to how to properly enjoy- ie heat it up, which goes to my original comment about being underwhelmed with the customer service. I was the only one in line, so there was no rush. But I guess now I know. And to the price response, I don’t personally assume something will taste better or worse depending on the price. And this comment is a bit out of touch in this economy, imo.

Quite disappointing and left me wanting a refund after one bite of each flavor. I ordered the guava and the halloumi flavors and they were so bland and ice cold. Every piece of filling inside was solid due to being cold. Felt like a rip off at that price.

Friendly people at the stall. I was expecting the arepas to be warm but they were cold albeit still nicely crunchy on some parts (that could just be how they are sold here but when I've had them previously from different supplier I think they were served warm). Good selection of flavours though and fairly allergen free.

Arepas where cold and greasy. Cheese was not melty at all and with 5 pounds per arepa very expensive. I wouldn’t recommend going there.

Just ridiculous! Went to Maltby market last weekend to try the cheesy blanket they so advertise but it wasn’t even there despite their website claiming they are there each weekend. I attempted again this week at borough market only to be told they don’t make cheese blankets here. Complete waste of time

Overrated!! Ordered the halloumi and plantain arepa..the display had a huge chunk of halloumi..but the one I got was literally the quarter of that size. And now way it's worth 10 pounds.

The staff at La Pepiá have a disgusting attitude! They went on instagram and thought it would be ok to indirectly verbally abuse a potential customer, just because the lady left a one star review, which she is well within her rights to do. She turned up at La Pepiá and it was closed, despite their opening hours on google showing otherwise. They had a festival booking and couldn't be bothered to change their opening times on google, then had the audacity to indirectly be abusive towards a potential customer. Who wants to eat food from people with a nasty attitude/bad vibes?! Not me! Avila London and Pape London are nice people, who sell delicious arepas! Spend your money there, instead of with the rude people that run La Pepiá!

Best arepas I've ever had. I treat myself every single week. Every combination I've tried is brilliant, but the halloumi and plantain is my personal favourite. The salsa is also available to purchase separately, and it's absolutely amazing. Can't recommend highly enough. And gluten free!

My wife and I had their Cheese blanket in a corn bun, today at the Portsmouth Street Food Awards. Absolutely amazing! Never seen anything like this before, tasted really nice and looked great! :) definitely the best food there. The man and woman who served us were genuinely lovely people too. Hopefully some sunshine for you on Sunday :) good luck on the award! 😃

Unfortunately the fact there is no longer an Areapa with sausage is a huge mistake. Pepperoni is not the same. The Areapa with cheese and salsa is simply not good enough! And for over £10 with avocado and halloumi it was thoroughly disappointing. Previously a huge fan but you have to bring back the sausage! I know before these were high quality sausages from the butcher's and without these this isn't a place worth visiting; sorry!

Their arepas used to be delicious. The quality has significantly deteriorated, the quantity of fillings has deteriorated. Terribly oily, which arepas are not meant to be (and theirs never used to be). If the reduction in amount of fillings is their way of recovering costs potentially lost due to the pandemic, it is a big mistake in the long run as they will no doubt lose customers. This was a place we used to regularly visit but sadly will never again. Avoid!

The people who make the food don’t wear masks. The man making our arepas kept laughing and yelling “BOOM BOOM” without a mask, right onto our prepared food. We didn’t feel comfortable eating it and took the arepas home to cook them in the oven and sanitizing them. The food tasted really good, but unfortunate that we didn’t feel comfortable with the food safety during a pandemic.

Ordered for delivery and received half a portion of the Thai Chicken Rice Bowl. They didn’t include any napkins, spoons, chopsticks – nothing. I know what the portion should be like because I've ordered it before, but this place really messed up.

This little restaurant used to be very nice and special. Grilled meat is still quite good but prices have risen and the staff despite still being friendly are very slow... no longer using the butcher services either after a couple of disappointing attempts, including where they didn't have even meat we had reserved in advance...

It's simply tragic that in the year 2024, in a place like this with so many daily customers, there's no free WiFi! Unbelievable!!! And when I asked why there's no network, I just got the following response: "It works, you just can't connect..." Fortunately, there are other cafes that don't deceive you! Such a shame!
