Have you seen their new truck? Have you tried the domino arepa? These are just a couple of reasons to check out Street Dogs or revisit if it's been a while. I crave arepas the same way others dream of tacos, so I've tried every option in town and these are my favorite. I always see the same people preparing my food and I believe that makes Street Dogs more consistent than the rest. They no longer park at the Rainbow Blvd address listed on Yelp. Be sure to check Instagram/social media to see where the truck stops during the week. They travel all over Las Vegas and Henderson.
I was so happy when they added the domino arepa to their menu. It's a delicious vegetarian option consisting of savory black beans, sweet plantains, and mozzarella cheese. My daughter eats the Venezuelan-style black beans by the cup, and she'll even talk to the friendly owner and order them by herself. She knows what she wants when she sees this truck. If you've tried black beans from a Cuban restaurant, the flavor is similar. Just call them caraotas instead of frijoles. My husband's arepa of choice is the reina pepiada.
The cachapas are tasty if you enjoy sweet corn pancakes, but a little heavy on the butter. I'd like to add beans to a cheese cachapa and see how that tastes, but I'm always craving the savory arepa. The creamy green and spicy red sauces complement the food perfectly. The new truck has a larger kitchen that's better equipped to execute their expanding menu, so it's a good time to try something new.
