It’s not located in the most amazing stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard however the arepas!!!!!! For a gluten free girlie wow- just wow! The choices are pretty much endless and you absolutely must get the #11 if you like sweet arepas as well. Ooey gooey cheesy deliciousness in every bite! Dining experience is very cafe style and you could choose to sit on their patio but I took my food to go and yes, it was just as good after I got home! You must try this place for totally mouthwatering authentic Venezuelan arepas!!!! Enjoy.
I ordered a chicken, cheese and the chachapa. Spent $34 including the sauces (which you must get) and the tip! So good.

We love this place. Even one arepa is very filling. Our faves are the Pabellon(beef, beans, plantains, and cheese), shredded beef (add avocado), and the dessert like cachapa! Staff is so friendly and helpful. The sauces that come with the arepas (if you eat in house) are DELISH. We are locals and keep coming back.

A visit to a great Venezuelan restaurant in Las Vegas. Starting with the service that makes you feel like you’re back in Venezuela. Great prices and delicious food make this place a must-stop, very close to the Strat. If you want to enjoy good, homemade, and affordable food, this is the place — “Viva Las Arepas” from Pregonero to the world.

A good experience at this restaurant. This has been my third or fourth time.
Located over Las Vegas Boulevard, heading south, a block before the Stratosphere hotel.
Small free parking. They offer inside and outdoor seating.
The service is good and the menu is very easy to navigate. You can find drinks, sodas, ice cream (small area inside the restaurant to enjoy the ice creams and other sweets)
The selection of arepas, empanadas and other items for breakfast, lunch and dinner it’s very good.
Today we cheese empanadas and they were very good.
Definitely a good place to try when you are in Vegas.

Best Arepas ever!! It was the best choice I made. Wood fire cooked fresh. The seasonings were divine. Definitely recommend 10/10!! Forgot to take pics before our bite so you know the smell had us anxiously waiting and impatiently eating, lol!!

I’ve given this place so many chances and the last time I came I said I wasn’t gonna come anymore. Because I got sick the last time I came here. Today I was in the mood for soup so I said, let’s try their Mondongo since it’s soup it’s not the arepas (which got no flavor) I order the mondongo which is almost $20. I don’t mind paying if it’s good, but To get a 32oz deli cup with 24oz of soup is crazy. Every place that sells soup fills it all the way to the top. I’m officially done with the place. Mind you I was 1 of their first costumers on day 1 when they were next to Dino’s. To be 1 of the first Venezuelan spot here in Vegas you gotta represent better than this.

I do feel like it’s pricey but everything was delicious so I’m not even too mad about it.

Founder Felix Arellano, a Venezuelan chef with serious grill skills, started out with a food cart before opening this now-iconic spot. His signature move is cooking meats over wood charcoal for that unbeatable smoky flavor.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what happiness tastes like, it comes wrapped in cornmeal at Viva Las Arepas. These fluffy pockets of joy are packed with exploding favor. The customer service here deserves its own round of applause. Seriously, I half expected the staff to hand me a trophy just for showing up. They smile like they’ve been waiting all day just for you which is exactly the kind of energy I need when I’m standing in line wondering which Arepa I want to order. The Strip is full of overpriced, mediocre food traps, but Viva Las Arepas is like finding a secret cheat code to happiness. Affordable, authentic, and so good you’ll forget you ever ordered that sad $25 hot dog from down the street.
