Always stop by Viva Las Arepas anytime my wife and I are in Vegas. My wife grew up in Venezuela and swears everything here is as authentic you can get.
I recommend the following:
- Arepas: Shredded Beef, Roasted Pork Butt
- Fried Yucca
- Passion Fruit Juice (Parchita/Maracuya)
- Shredded Beef Empanada (note these are fried not baked like Argentinian/Cuban empanadas)
- Green sauce (Guasacaca) on EVERYTHING
- Cachapas (for sweet tooths)
After your meal, save room for Gelato next door (same owners).
Wait can be a little long. Do phone-in orders to save time as area can have a bit of traffic.
