| - Short Review:
I'm a fan of Arepas. I'm just not a fan of the Arepas served at Viva Las Arepas. I got their Beef Empanada and Beef Arepa. Both were greasy and not worth the price. $5 for an Arepa the size of your fist?? I've had this place bookmarked. Now, bookmark checked! Time to move on.
Longer Review:
Viva Las Arepas has been one of my bookmarks since I was introduced to their neighbor, the great Art of Flavors. Yes, Viva is located right next door in case you didn't know. Upon entering, you're hit with nothing but orange and a menu with a decent selection. At first, the prices looked pretty good until you get your food. I got the Beef Arepas and a Beef Empanada. They both tasted "Just Ok" and were super oily. For a minute, I thought I was eating a beef chimichanga. Both were also so small that I was able to finish my Arepas in about 3 bites. I know I can't mention names, but I have had better Arepas out here in Vegas. Better in regards to price, value, and most importantly, taste. All is not lost though. Their plantains and the service were both excellent. I may be back, but most likely for their plantains only. See Ya' But not here...I'll be next door enjoying the best peanut butter gelato.
