El Arepazo Criollo

I've been coming here non stop for the past two months. It might be a problem soon but I can't stay away. I've never been a huge fan of Arepas but these are different. They also offer other options like Patacons which I love as well. The menu includes a lot of nice combinations but you can also make your own which is what I always do. The magic is in the sauces they have outside, it adds the perfect flavor to the already tasty and fresh food.

I've been on a hunt for tasty arepas in Central FL since experiencing them for the first time during a trip to Raleigh, NC. While visiting a car dealer on Orange Blossom Trail, I spied the food truck across the street with "arepa" in all caps. After getting recommendations from the dealer staff, I headed over while waiting for work to be completed. I ordered both the Arepa La Peluda and a chicken empanada and waited for a little bit while they were made fresh. The arepa was packed full of seasoned, shredded beef with a healthy serving of cheese. The chefs made sure I knew where the sauce was located on the truck and I obliged them with a few plastic to-go containers. The first bite...wow! The beef, the cheese, the sauce made for a heavenly excursion for my taste buds. The mix provided one flavorful vote after another. The loaded arepa was meal by itself so I save the empanada for the next day. The empanada was fine but was diminished by the amount of grizzle mixed in with the shredded chicken. I've attempted to return for another arepa but each time I arrive on a day the truck is closed or it hasn't yet opened. Be sure to check out their times of business prior to heading there and then enjoy!

This place is fire!!! They make your food right there on the spot while you wait, so is not food that has been sitting there for a while. Super fresh. Empanadas were delicious and the arepas were they way I liked them (toasty on the outside). BTW my daughter who only eats reina pepiada said that this was the best arepa she ever had.

For reasons unknown, Orlando has become a hotbed for Venezuelan food. I was staying in Disney Springs and there are a few nearby places that are well-ranked. But I'm cheap, and Arepazo Criollo wasn't much further (about 16 minutes according to my nav). So for about half the price, I took a flyer on this food truck. The area isn't fantastic, but the food is good to great. I hadn't had Venezuelan in a while, so I ordered four different arepas and an order of tequeños. The tequeños aren't as good as at the Altamira Tennis Club, but they are pretty good. I would want them a little crispier with the interior cheese melted more.For the arepas I had combinations with pork, carne mechada, yellow cheese, white cheese, and black beans. All of the flavors were great, and the amount of filling in each one is generous. We have leftovers for another day. In general, I would say they do a great job, and you should take a flyer on them and try them out.

Our favorite arepa place in town! Everything tastes delicious, ingredients are fresh, and service is kind! We always try and make a stop whenever we're in Orlando

Went there today for lunch and it was absolutely delicious I got the shredded beef and cheese arepa and the meat was outstanding so flavorful!!! For a drink I ordered a refreshing fresh passion fruit juice and it was so freaking good!!! I will def be coming here again it's a hidden gem!

My wife and I both loved it, great food, great service! Will definitely comeback next time Im in Orlando.

Amazing selection of delicious Venezuelan comfort food. I ordered the beef patacón, shrimp arepa, and cheese cachapa. Each one bursting with flavor and very well portioned. The person attending in the front was very nice and very funny. Made me feel like I was part of the family. The area was a bit sketchy, in a parking lot of a car detailing place, but there was ample parking. It would be nice if they added some more chairs and tables if possible. Overall 5 stars for the big portion, big flavor, and big smiles!

I found this place by accident while getting ice cream. I ordered two arepas from the menu, though it should be noted you can also build your own. They were both fucking fantastic. I'm not a vegetarian, but the Vegetariana was amazing. Fried plantains, avocado, beans, and some amazing cheese that idek what it was. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Sometimes, exploring pays off. I'd rate it 6 stars if I could. I'm an out of towner, but I'm 100% going to go back before I have to head back home.

Que food truck tan rico... arepas y cachapas deliciosas es nuestra segunda vez aquí y seguro que volveremos!!! Un servicio muy cálido y amable y un ambiente casual para la familia... comida rápida de muy buena calidad...
