Jessica Kim: Wow, my chicken arepa was the best random lunch I've had in a really long time. The arepas here are delicious, soft on the inside, with a delightful crisp on the outside. Can't wait to try others!
Kelmi Bermúdez: Fast, easy, delicious. Dare to try something different from Venezuela. Food truck hybrid! Cool experience! they take CARDS!!
Carmen N: More expensive but also more substantial than your typical street cart arepa. The flavor is mostly in the salsa so choose one with kick.
