Got beef and chicken pabellon arepas — delicious! And such friendly service

Venezuelan food truck with a big menu. We got the Arepa #9 Pabellon Arepa and Tostones with Chicken. The arepa is the standout in that it was the first arepa I’ve had that did not crack or fall apart while eating it. Everything in it including the shredded beef, cotija cheese and plantains made the entire arepa experience very
The arepa prices are probably more on the expensive side.
The Tostones was okay except the chicken was dry but that was easily fixed with the salsa we got from the arepa.
There are vegetarian and vegan options for some of the menu items.

This most recent visit was not quite as satisfying because of customer service. It seems that because the ordering is “self-serve” the female staff member couldn’t be bothered with a question. When she finally did have time for providing “customer service”, I was told I would have to select my dietary request for vegan, specifically no dairy option, for my entree and it should be on the screen. I went back through to try and edit my order, even asked my daughter to look at the screen to see if I had missed something somewhere and there was no option available to select vegan/no cheese or even to put it on the side. When I told the female staff member that, she rolled her eyes and half listened to the vegan request for the veggie paticons. We only received one of the two paticons prepared as vegan. The other entrees that were ordered were fine. So if you are vegan OR have a dairy allergy I’d recommend ordering from another restaurant OR using the food truck’s website not placing your order on site. If not, you’re s.o.l.
As mentioned, the food truck website does give the different dietary options, however, if ordering there on-site be prepared for less than half-hearted customer service.
If it were not for the customer service on this most recent visit, I would recommend this food truck more. But there are other options available in the food truck park with far better customer service which is a vital part of getting repeat business.

I visited this pod with my wife, and we each shared items from different carts. Being the smart one in the family, my wife chose La Arepa, and went with their Shredded Chicken Arepa as her choice.
The wait for her food turned out to be much shorter than the expected few minutes, as a fresh Arepa happened to be immediately available. This meant that I ended up trying to grab more than my share as the other order from a different cart took a bit longer to materialize.
This allowed me to appreciate the flavor, and, for me, the wonderful combination of textures in La Arepa’s cooking. Between the arepa itself, the chicken, and the cheese (Cotija?) that came on top, every bite told a lovely and varied story.
I’m very much looking forward to exploring more of their menu.

❤️Shredded beef ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– a great basic
❤️Pabellon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– I like this slightly more than the shredded beef for some reason?
– felt like the texture was better, but I would order both, honestly
Chicken ⭐⭐⭐✨
– not as flavorful as the others, but lets the sauce shine through
– order the Picante Blanco (Medium) Buttermilk, Habanero sauce with this, it isn’t spicy at all, but it pairs well.
Cheese ⭐⭐
– not super worth it
– was a little soggy and not the gooey cheesy pull I was expecting
– air fried it when I got home and it improved the taste
— sauces —
Guasacaca (Mild) Avocado, Green bell pepper, Cilantro, Onion, Garlic, Lime, veg. oil ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Garlic (Mild) Garlic, Mayo, Cilantro ⭐⭐⭐
Rosada (Mild) Ketchup, Mayo, salt & pepper ⭐⭐✨
Picante Blanco (Medium) Buttermilk, Habanero ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had my first ever Arepa at this gem of a spot in Portland and it was AMAZING. For first timers, I suggest trying their classic shredded beef arepa. We got the guasacaca sauce and cotija cheese. I must say, prepare to have cotija cheese beard crumbs on your face. haha
Jose was super friendly and taught us some Venezuelan lingo- will definitely be back and will recommend to our friends!
