I could eat at Arepa every day and it still wouldn't be enough for me. I might have to start eating there twice a day. Everything I've ever had there was delicious, and actually I've had had most of the dishes on their menu. I'm someone who usually finds a favorite and just orders that over and over, but I've really been curious to try everything Arepa serves. I love the carne patacon, the pernil and reina arepas, and the burger. It's all so flavorful and well-cooked. Even the sides--down to the sauces!--are delicious. Those truffle oil French fries are the best fries in Olympia, and they give you a ton of them. So, so good. And then, to top it all, their service is friendly and their prices are affordable. Olympia needs a dozen more eateries in the Arepa vein. I'm so glad they're here. (Writing this review has made me hungry. I'm calling in an order now.) read more

Very nice food truck! lots of different selections.if you go at closing they are very rushed and they will forget things. so please be sure to check your order before you take it home. I am giving you three stars because the arepa was a pretty dry. Their steak and fries were delicious. But once again just make sure you check the order because they can screw it up when they are rushed. with this been said I would still highly recommend this place. read more

have driven past this place a few times before and always wanted to try it out. Finally stopped by for my first time today for a quick bite. Tried the vegetarian arepa. i've never tasted one before so I don't know what to compare it to. I ordered mine without onions but added cheese my total was over $10. I thought it was very tasty but it was a bit pricey. I may come back to try a few other dishes but this is someplace I could not afford to eat very regularly. read more

Arepa - Food Trucks Near Me - Olympia, Washington

After reading the reviews, I had to skip my stand-by California Taco and try Arepa. I had no idea what to expect so I picked one of the first items on the menu, Carne Arepa. I have to agree with Shari D. "Incredible"! The beef melted in my mouth, combined with the cheddar cheese, and green sauce, made this lunch heavenly! The extra sauces were yummy too. Next time I am going to try the chicken avocado Arepa, which will probably be tomorrow's lunch. Now my favorite food truck in Olympia. read more

Reasonably fast service, was there for a weekday lunch at about 1pm. Accepts cards, nice for a food truck. Carne on the arepa was nicely seasoned, the arepa itself was whatever, a fine vehicle for the meat. Cheese on the arepa was the dry pre-shredded stuff from the store - meh. The seasoned fries were surprisingly under-seasoned, just some salt and green flecks. If I squinted and used my imagination I could make out a truffle flavor. Would go again if in the neighborhood, probably not make a special trip. read more

Amazing food at great prices! Their Ropa Vieja was absolutely delicious, will visit again very soon! Highly recommend if you love authentic Latin food! read more

Incredible! They are the perfect addition to the food truck corner (4th & Plum) in Oly! Our favorites: Argentinian Skirt Steak & Fries Arepa Burger w/ a fried egg & blue cheese Avocado Chicken Salad Arepa read more

I really like the food here. (I've only had the patacons and fried plantains, and they were delicious.) The portions are generous, and it's tasty as hell. I've had some "off" avocados at points, but that's OK. 4 stars for the food, -1 for customer service. They often close before 7. Several times I've rushed to the truck and arrived at 6:40, only for them to be closed. And while you can place orders on their website (which requires up front payment), they are frequently out of the item in question and will not refund you at that time. More than once, we've placed a web order, went to pick it up 30 mins later, been told that they're out of said order, and we can't get our money back. It took me 2 days to get a refund. I like their food, and if they improved their customer service, this would be a 5-star food truck. read more

Love the food hear. I have allergies to mushrooms and they were able to use an alternative to truffle oil for my French fries! They were very accommodating and patient with me! The food tastes amazing! Will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Arepa - CARNE and fries was great! - Food Trucks Near Me - Olympia, Washington

I ordered a vegetariano patacon: delicioso! crispy plantains on the bottom to add a nice crunch alongside the cabbage and beans. For $3 you get a massive bag of fries, way more than one person should eat, haha! Excellent lunch. read more

Oh my goodness.... where to start? the arepas... yes, there. The reina arepa is SO good!!! It is not like the traditional reina pepiada, but it still is delicious. The chicken is shredded and in a mayo/cilantro sauce that is so tasty. It also has avocados, so it automatically is amazing. The ropa vieja was ok to me, but my boyfriend LOVED it. For some reason I thought it would be like my beloved pabellon criollo :( oh well, the shredded beef was very tender and the rice was cooked very well! The fried plantains are the best things to eat... ever. I recommend eating it with the cilantro sauce and the salsa verde they have to the right of the food truck. They are sweet and cooked perfectly. yay! The cachapa is the best I have had since my Abuela made it for me years ago. It is so crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside. The queso mano is SO good. They top it with crema and it is worth all of the calories... all of them. SO why the four stars? They didn't have guasacaca (which makes me sad), emapanadas, tenequenos, or some of the traditional street food from Venezuela... but what they DO have is perfect. TRY THEM NOW. read more

So good! Amazing service, staff is always so sweet. The fried plantains are killer and they have the best affordable burger in town. My favorite place to sit outside to eat! read more

Okay, you gotta get the steak over fries!!!! It has chimichurri sauce over it, oh my, it hits the spot!!!!! I live in Beaverton, and made the trek out here twice. Now the first time I got it, they were very generous on their steak, but the second time around, there wasn't as much. I understand it's a business and maybe the price of steak went up, but it just didn't seem worth the price anymore. But nonetheless, it's so yummy. I tried their arepa reina which has the chicken salad in it, I didn't care much for it because I didn't like how dense the arepa is. Obviously it was my first time at a Venezuelan place, so I didn't know what to expect when eating an arepa. But yeah definitely get the steak. read more

Love it love it love!!! Yucca fries are delicious and the pork patacons are to die for. I always say I want to try new things from the menu but never do. Just be prepared for the weather. Only outside seating. read more

Beef and cheddar gf sandwich thing, perfect truffle fries, mexican coke Amazing food truck meal around 15$ read more

Outstanding Cart with original food. Four other carts nearby for those who may not be interested in the Arepa menu. Try something new! It's awesome! read more

This place...is AMAZING! $7 (Arepa) for a small sandwich?? But it's worth it because it's DELICIOSO! Haven't had mouth watering experience for a long time but WOW it's so good. It's a pity that this place is located in Olympia... there was no patron when I was there. They deserve more spotlight! read more

What I like about Arepa is the combo of food trucks that are around it. I did enjoy the food from Arepa and my family enjoyed the other food trucks. I did go back at 11:55 on a Sunday and they did not open until 12:00. That did kind of bother me... , however if I am in the area again I will stop by (after noon). read more

Absolutely delicious! The queso chachapas are unebelievable and the tostones brought back memories of trips to visit family in Colombia when I was a kid. Highly recommend! read more

Yummy yummy. If I lived here I would come again. My favorite was the plantains and coconut flan.

It wasn't bad, I had the vegetarian arepa, it really didn't have much flavor, even the sauce it came with was flavorless. I did really like the yucca fries, the sauce they came with was unique, but light on flavor as well. $17 bucks with a bottle of water, I need more flavor. read more

My favorite of what few Food Trucks we've got in Oly. As soon as I saw Ropa Vieja on the menu I was sold. It was my favorite thing to eat in Florida so its nice to be able to find some here. Now, it's one of my favorite things to eat in Olympia. Oh. And the Burger? With the Queso Fresco?! Game Over. Throw in some Yuca Fries and I'm of no use for the rest of the day. Instant Nap time. read more

They are the best! The food is delicious (my favorite is the vegetarian arepa, which features black beans, plantain, and avocado) and the owners are the nicest people ever! You can tell that everything is prepared with care and the best ingredients. read more

Arepa - Vegetarian Arepa - Food Trucks Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Delicious! Delicious ! Delicious ! There was absolutely nothing not to love about this place and the deliciously unique selections available. I got the carne pataca totally not something I normally eat, but I wanted to try something new and thankfully this was one of those times where I definitely didn't regret venturing outside the box. read more

Arepa - Carne Pataca. Green plaintain, carne, avocado, and cabbage yuuum!!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Patacon carne, vegetarian arepa, and the sweet plantains were fantastic! So glad to have found this place, wish I could take it home to the east coast with me! read more

I have driven by Arepa so many times and I'm glad I finally tried it, I'd been missing out! I had the Moderna with chicken and a "side" of fries, both were delicious. The Moderna was really good, and I ordered it because it had cabbage, cheese, tomatoes and pink sauce, so it seemed a bit more complex than the arepas, but because the arepa underneath everything was fried, it was on the heavy side. Definitely delicious, but would like to try an arepa next time around. The chimichurri and pink sauces are delicious, such great flavor, especially with their seasoned fries with herbs and truffle oil. Everything was delicious and each component was so good on its own. It almost makes me want to like plantains so I can try more of their menu, almost, but never in this lifetime. Bottom line is that Arepa is delicious! read more

Arepa - Moderna with chicken and a side of the herb & truffle oil seasoned fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Olympia, Washington

5/5 stars. The pork arepa was hot and fresh. The pork was crispy and sliced thinly, but was not dry. Red cabbage added texture and acidity. Cream sauce was to die for. The chimichurri sauce added the perfect amount of extra flavor and heat. This arepa sets the standard. We also ordered the tajadas, which were perfectly cooked. Fried plantains are one of my ultimate comfort foods. They are sweet and savory at the same time. The tajadas were paired with a delicious crema. Lastly we tried the vegetarian patacon. The serving size was generous and it was a delicious mixture of fresh ingredients atop a fried green plantain base. The crema "pink" sauce was delicious, but it could have benefited from a side of chimichurri to add an element of heat. The only thing that could have made this experience better would be slightly larger serving sizes of the sauce (crema and chimichurri). Be sure to take your meal to go and eat it along the scenic Olympia waterfront. read more

I tried the cubana arepa. It was awesome! The pork had great flavor. The arepa was light and moist read more

Arepa - Food Trucks Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Tried Arepa today and was not disappointed. My wife is weird on trying new places but she's been on a kick trying to widen her horizons. We both ordered the Patacon one beef one pork. And the truffle fries to share. I love my pork but I will be ordering the beef next time. If you haven't tried Arepa yet please do. It's amazing read more

Arepa - Yummy deliciousness!! Mm truffle fries on the side. Try Arepa Today - Food Trucks Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Pretty darn good! My husband and I had arepas tonight and an order of tostones. He had the cubana, and I had the carne arepa. I'm half Venezuelan, so I grew up eating arepas very often. It definitely was similar to what my mother made me as a child. I wish they had put a more traditional cheese (a white cheese) on the carne arepa instead of cheap shredded yellow cheese. The tostones were spot on, and the guasacaca was pretty good too. I look forward to trying the cachapa on my next visit to see if it can rival my mother's! read more

We're driving through Washington and found this amazing cart on Yelp. The meats were spiced perfectly. I had chicken, my husband had pork. The vegetables were fresh, the plantains were cooked perfectly and were utterly delicious! If I lived here I would eat my way through the menu. Fantastic! read more

I love the food truck downtown. Delicious Latin American food. Gluten free and vegetarian options. Great meat dishes including the arepas but my favorite is the Patacon carne with tostones (fried plantains), beef, cabbage, and avocado. I had a side of tajadas (sweet plantains) today and they were excellent. read more

This place is great! Super tasty food that's really unique from what you'd normally find in food trucks. Not your typical cheesy, greasy mess (not that there's anything wrong with that!) Prices are fair. Menu a bit limited, but I actually prefer when businesses focus in on what they're good at. Try it out! read more

We had lunch here today for the first time food was great, both arepas we had were awesome and so were the tostones. My son had the burger and said it was good. Cute food truck lot with a cool cider place nearby. We will definitely be back. read more

I recently found out I was diabetic and trying to find food that I can eat outside from bringing it from home is hard. I used to love California Tacos and realized quickly it could send me into a diabetic coma. So I tried Arepa. I got the special which was some chicken and veggies with this fantastic pink sauce and this corn fritter thing in the bottom. It was delicious! It filled me up and didn't leave me feeling like I wanted to go into a food coma and take a nap. I will be returning. If you haven't tried this place you really should!!! read more

Simple food with great flavor. Good prices. We had a Reina and a carne Arepa. Very filling but not heavy. Cannot wait to try the rest of the menu! read more

I read the reviews and went and it's great. My friend from Columbia came from Seattle to Olympia for the sole purpose of trying the food! I had the pork on the green plantains ( not sure what it's called) ( but it was delicious). read more

Delicious food. I will definitely be coming back soon. The whole family enjoyed it even my 2 year old.
