Never heard of Arepas? You aren't alone. This was a Yelp find by my girlfriend and we just had to try it.
Pros:
+ i Love Arepas !
+ Open late
+ Friendly staff
+ Awesome Hot sauce
Cons:
- N/A
Overall:
I'm not a Venezuelan expert or anything, but the easiest way to describe it is a Venezuelan version of a taco. I don't really know how else to explain it ha. You just gotta try it for yourself! I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
This place is addicting. I personally loved the Lengua Arepa... Tongue for those who do not know. It's located on the north end of the strip. It's just a little stand with a few tables for seating, but don't judge the book by its' cover. This was a pleasant surprise! Next time I go, I'm going to try one of their Fruit Juices... I hear they are pretty good.
Tips:
- I didn't know how filling 1 Arepa was. I ordered 3 Arepas thinking it was equivalent of 3 tacos at say Don Tortacos, but I was wrong. Arepas are a lot heavier than a taco. I'd say 2 and your good to go.
- If you like spicy hot... try their hot sauce. It has a good kick to it.
- Don't forget to grab some extra napkins... you're gonna need it.
- They take card so don't worry if you don't have cash.
