Arepa Republic was at Celebration Square recently and it has been on my list for a while so I went for some arepa
There are a lot of arepas that you can choose from but I recommend you get what is as close to Venezuela as possible
I have had arepas before but never had a Venezuelan dish . A Venezuelan friend of mine recommended I try the Pabellon Arepa . I am not a fan of cheese so I got the Pabellon Arepa without cheese.
Pabellon is a Venezuelan dish comprised of beans , rice, softly braised beef, and plantains.
Arepa is a piece of maize flower that can be used like bread. For me it was like getting a two in one .
The Pabellon Arepa was quite good. The Arepa was soft but firm enough to hold the pabellon inside and I liked the smooth maize flavour . The pabellon part of the arepa had a nice spice to it that gave the dish some flavour .
I do feel for the price one pays they should at least get a side with the arepa ,
Will I be back? Probably if myself or my friends are craving an arepa. I saw some other arepas on the menu and would definitely try them without cheese
