Paparepas Venezuelan Food

Never had Venezuelan food before but this food truck drew me in. If all arepas are this good, consider me a fan! The Vegan Arepa was crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside, and loaded with a warm and satisfying filling.Kiosk makes ordering quick and convenient. Hope to catch these guys around again.

Delicious Venezuelan food. I usually get the Shreeded Pork Papa Bowl. Killer. A little pricey but worth it.

So good! I was in the area and decided to try this place out since it's been on my bookmarks forever.Super small shop with a few counter style places to sit in the corner. Extra bonus points if you speak Spanish as not all of the employees speak English. I've never had Venezuelan food before, so I don't know how authentic all of it is, but the vegan arepa was absolutely delightful! I really liked the texture and I'm pretty sure this would travel well back to work, so it might become something in my weekday rotation. Very nice portion of guacamole and all the fixings - I was *stuffed* and I didn't even finish the whole thing! Yucca fries were also really good. And that sauce?? Yes! I'm happy to see that you can just buy a bottle of the sauce because I've got some ideas for that one. I washed everything down with guava juice which was a nice change of pace from what I usually drink. Pro and con - they use paper straws. If you're not going to finish your beverage within about 30 min you should remove the straw!!I was here for many an hour total and saw MANY people coming in and out for pick up orders. Always a good sign, right? Definitely will be back!

I had the opportunity to try Venezuelan dishes from their food truck and thought overall the food was flavorful and decent. The menu has arepas, empanadas, bowls, tequeños, and other items. Each order came with the choice of cilantro, spicy cilantro, or curry sauce packets. -----Beef Arepa: Venezuelan-style slowly cooked shredded beef and cheddar ($10.99).The corn cakes had that slightly sweet taste from the ground maize and were not dry at all. The arepas were stuffed with a load of cheese and tender beef. For its size and price, I wouldn't consider it filling enough by itself for a meal though.-----Pabellon Criollo Papabowl: a traditional Venezuelan plate with tropical rice, slowly cooked shredded beef, seasoned black beans, sweet plantains and Monterrey cheese ($12.99).The Papabowls are a good way to get a sample of various sides. The beans were well-cooked and seasoned, and the plantains were super sweet and soft. I liked that the majority of the bowl was comprised of the sides rather than rice.-----The business also has two store locations: one in Capital Hill at Seattle and another one in Kent. Check their website for the calendar of the food truck locations.

Came here one lazy afternoon on a whim, I was actually across the street getting poke but I felt like I wanted more of something else so I came in here and ordered 2 arepas and the guava cheese bites to go. I ordered the chicken and guac arepa for myself and the domino which consists of black beans and fresh cheese. My hubs really liked the domino and was surprised at how full he felt afterwards. I liked the chicken guac arepa but I kept thinking for the price ($9.99) I was expecting banana chips or something on the side to complete the meal. I think I'm comparing it to Subway or a drive thru restaurant where you can get a sandwich w/ a drink and fries for $10 so idk, I probably won't go here again because of the price but the food and service is good.

Had a pork arepa and plantain chips from their food truck. The arepa was delicious, slightly crispy and stuffed with well seasoned pork and cheese, so yummy I'm now craving another one just writing this review! The chips were flavorful and not too salty, went well with the arepa. I will definitely have to check out their restaurant locations to try more of their menu!

So for Latine/Latinx (not everyone subscribes to this) Heritage Month, I thought to check out this little place because Big Boys Kainan was closed (highly rec). Little did I know I was going to be blown away. Completely family owned and everything made in house. Fun fact: Their mascot was created by the brother and the dad in the kitchen kinda looks like him. Rolled in with a friend and we had their specialty malt beverage, tostones (double fried plantain chips), beef/pork arepa, and beef empanada AND THEY WERE ALL DELICIOUS. Look, if their in-house sauce doesn't get ya, then everything else will. The plantains were double fried to perfection The arepas were STUFFED and overflowing. The empanadas were so goddamn crispy. They were like, Vietnamese baguettes where you can strum your fork across it like an instrument and super soft in the middle. Btw, they're made using maize or cornmeal versus the spanish empanadas' that uses flour. In my opinion, these are SUPERIOR. Their sauces again were super tasty: cilantro, spicy cilantro, and curry. Yes, there's those that think it taste like soap, just go with the curry flavor. All in all, great experience. Friendly staff. Delicious food.

This is for the Kent location. I found this place by accident while in the area. Delicious food, friendly people. I do not speak Spanish well but they were kind about it. I had a bowl featuring shredded beef, accompanied by black beans, rice, plantains, and cheese. This meal was delicious. I would drive out of my way to eat here. Priced well, and prepared quickly.

This is authentic Venezuelan seasoning, great service, worse coming to Kent from Bellevue to eat, empanadas and extras.

Fast, friendly service. Delicious arepa :) I especially liked the cilantro sauce that came with it.
