| - Thanks to Amanda M. for leading me to this delicious truck. I ordered 2 arepas to try: the vegan and the pabellano.
The cashier actually let me try a sample since I was a first-timer. I got to try a sizeable hunk of a chicken arepa. The vegan has black beans, sweet plantains and avocado. The pabellano has shredded beef, sweet plantains, black beans and cheese. I love avocado and plantains, so I had to get these 2.
My basket of arepas came with a spicy red salsa and a creamy cilantro sauce. I liked both, but the red one was perfect with both arepas. I liked both sauces on the pabellano. The pabellano was so warm, with tangy meat mixing with sweet plantain - the beans and cheese rounded out the dish. This one I will probably get every time, should Rika Arepa Express not always be on the opposite side of town.
The vegan was creamy with the avocado and had a ton of beans. Once again, plantains made it! This probably was the first time I had avocado and plantain flavors mixing together, but it worked. The prices were very reasonable ($5 for vegan and $6 for pabellano). Some of the arepas are $4ish, but I of course picked the specials (see my pic of specials on menu). Overall, yummy and filling. I look forward to the next time!
