First time trying Arepas. The carne asada meat was incredible. The Arepa itself was good, but with the garlic sauce it was quite amazing. Also tried a ground beef empanada which wasn't that unique but was very well made and very delicious. We will be back to try more.

This restaurant was a great find. It was my first time trying Venezuelan food, and I'm happy with the results.They offer a quality product. The food tasted fresh, and the meat was so tender that it practically melted in my mouth. The staff seemed short-handed, so it took a little longer to get food, but it was worth the wait. The only real complaint came from parking...going on a Friday night and located at the University Mall in Orem...very hard to find a great place close to the restaurant. Overall, I'm glad I gave this location a chance. This restaurant is definitely worth trying.

We had the ham & cheese, carne asada, tequeños, and reina pepiad. My guy is Venezuelan and Black. He had to come through and here we are. The staff are so polite, clean space and the food is pretty delish.

The craving is real! Going several months strong. My daughter eats gluten free and introduced me to Arempa's pabellon empanada. Instant favorite. Even just one is a great amount, completely satisfying. Seriously what a gem!

I tried Arempas today for the first time and it was so good! I got the mini combo so I could try the most flavors and I loved them all. My favorite were the guava and cheese teqeños though for sure. The service was great and it totally recommend!!

We’ve been going to different locations for years and we’re very lucky we have a location near our home. There are so many delicious things to try. We’re especially fans of the: Ground Beef Empanada Black Bean & Cheese Empanada Fried Yucca & Fried Pork Pabellon The black beans are amazing however you order them * The Chimichurri sauce is spicy and delicious!
