Viva Las Arepas - Las Vegas

I used to live right across the street and I'm white raised by Mexicans (so i now how to speak basic spanish and pronounce it) and I went in there and did not see the English menu and read off the Spanish menu and messed up the pronunciation because it had been a while since I spoke Spanish and they scoffed and I went there for about a month and everytime they gave me nasty ingredients because they thought I was racist or something stupid, no shot it just happened to be brown lettus, brown guacamole, brunt bread, and burnt meat every time I went for a month, wouldn't recommend. Been a few years but this is vegas, everyone's racist to white ppl.

Food was delicious. I had the empanadas beef and cheese empanadas. They were delicious. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely return

We go here every time we are in Las Vegas. Best arepas since living in Venezuela

The food was 100% authentic and tasty! The atmosphere was a lot of fun and felt very welcoming, although we had to go up to the counter to get our food but the experience and the explosion of flavours from the arepas was fantastic, I would highly recommend to anyone!

En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo, y de El Espíritu Santo, Amen. Ok mijo, tell me how have you sinned. Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. My last confession was 30 years ago but I have committed a grace injustice to my love... My child, God provides forgiveness for those that Las Vegas has extravagant buffets, posh hotel choices, and standard fare. Yet, tucked away between the modern Las Vegas Strip and the OG Freemont Downtown area you have Viva Las Arepas, which rivals any food experience you 'll have in Las Vegas. Wait, are we talking about food As an avid taco enthusiast, it may strike some as antithetical that a taco connoisseur would spend time at an arepa shop. I would agree and prayed to the taco Gods that Mijo , there are no they would not judge me. I stopped by as they were one block away and walking distance from my start at The Strat. You went to Las a Vegas and this is the sin you are As soon as you walk in the brightly colored menu jumps at you and the restaurant is adorned with pictures of the plates but gives a lively atmosphere. After some friendly discussion with Roberto, who was super helpful and educational in his Venezuelan creations, we ended up getting a Pabellón Arepa (Beef, Black Beans, Plantain Cheese) and a Cachapa (w carne machada) along with una agua de Mango y una agua de panela. Son, is this a confession or are you reviewing YES, I must confess! It started with the drinks. The panela (sugar cane) was delicious; I expected this very sweet drink but it was carefully balanced and oh my god You actuallu shouldn 't say Yes sorry, but then the mango drink, it tasted so fresh, it was better than any mango drink I 've had at any taqueria, aye Dios mío You said it again but in Spanish, you The Pabellón arepa came out and it was incredible, the beans and cheese played off each other so well but every now and then you 'd get a bite of the plantain... that sweetness really added to the experience. The masa of the arepa is obviously homemade and had a great hold on the foods. Thin and crispy but still with heft. But father... it was the arepa cachapa that has me confessing today, I have sinned. I have a feeling you haven 't really sinned I fell in LOVE with this arepa cachapa! It 's a masa of fresh corn with cheese and I added shredded beef (carne machacada). Father, I never saw thought I 'd fall in love with another food that wasn 't tacos but here I am. The arepa 's fresh corn prep gave it a sweetness that matched a pancake with syrup without the overly saccharine feel of being at an iHOP. It truly was amazing, and the cheese pull, the seasoned beef, and the combo of flavor pulled my stomach and heart strings. It was love at first bite... Why are you crying? I 've committed adultery to my beloved tacos, I can 't believe I gave my heart to another Latina concoction that has stolen Adultery only applies to people, not tacos or arepas! Wait,
