I have been to this location twice. I live in SLC UT and discovered it on my way to Disneyland. On our way back we made sure that we stopped again. This is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. If you haven’t tried it you must. We will eat here every time we are in town. LOVE THE FOOD!!!!!!
Arepas are gluten free y’all! This little restaurant right off the strip made our entire trip. My friend and I both had the shredded beef Arepas and they were so good. Best thing we’ve eaten in Las Vegas and good pricing too. My meal ended up being around $11 with my Arepas and a side of black beans and rice. The restaurant was clean and food was ready within 5 minutes. Family atmosphere and low key, this was just the break I needed from the strip.
I’ve been here twice. The first time I got their special, it was wood-fired chicken thighs with rice with vegetables and black beans. I know their namesake is arepas but I think their wood-fire chicken steals the show. It was so delicious, moist, and tender, with that perfect kiss of fire. And the rice with vegetables and black beans were some of the best I ever had. Best part was the meal fed me for two days and it was around $6-7. I came here last night and had their namesake, the arepas. Arepas are dense muffins(?) made out of cornmeal, then cooked over an open fire. It was okay, it is really dense and bland. You can’t compare it to a tortilla or bread. It’s just different, so my palate may have been confused. It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t great. We got the Wood-fire Beef Arepa and the Reina Pepiada Arepa (shredded chicken, cilantro, avocado, mayo and peas). They were okay. The meat inside the beef arepa was delicious. I think the flame-broiled meat dishes are the star of the show. It was flavorful and had that wonderful flame-kissed flavor. The Reina Pepiada Arepa was similar to a chicken salad stuffed into an arepa. Pass. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t that good. My favorite dish of the night was the Yucca Fritas, deep-fried yucca root. They are fat sticks of carby awesomeness. Pour their cilantro-garlic sauce on it and it is heaven! In conclusion, I’d stick with their wood-fire beef and chicken and pass on the arepas. But be sure to order sides of their rice, beans and yucca fritas. Make sure to get plenty of their cilantro-garlic sauce and their habanero(?) hot sauce.
Hand-made Arepas.Venezuelian spicy sandwiches with diferent filing.Probably only one place in Vegas where you catch a bit of Venezuela.Very nice experience with very tasty food.Staff was very helpful and nice.Good prices as a alternanive fast food.Better and diferent , than in chain’s place and definitely more healthy.
I was so happy to see this little piece of heaven of Venezuela right here in Vegas. Feast on the famous foods of Venezuela made to reminisce the good old days. The arepas were delicious crunchy and amazing though too oily the empanadas and tequenos though not like they should be made but was a very nice meal and experience. What put the cherry on top was finding my favorite Venezuelan soda, frescolita.
Satisfying comfort food-yum, yum!. Have a wood-fired chicken arepa with cheese–smoky, crispy, moist, filling, it’s all there. Squirt on some of the green special sauce and be utterly transported. Friendly counter help, too.
Ridiculous charcoal-cooked chicken. The only regret you will have is not eating here. Will be back!
