Our supper club ventured to Bellevue on a very cold January Tuesday. It was WELL worth the drive. The owner was the only one working as he had dismissed his staff early. I called ahead and he ensured he could take care of our group. The food was incredible. Everyone loved it. The sauces might be the best part! And the flan was so delicious. I will definitely be visiting the food truck that's closer to my area, but will gladly make the drive to Bellevue for this food. read more

The staff were very nice and accommodating, and the restaurant was very clean. My wife and I got take-out out but all of the food was great. Me and my wife do agree however that the star of the show was the $5 empanadas! They were absolutely amazing and incredibly filling. We will definitely have to come back to get the shredded beef empanadas again. (Orders of Churros come with 5 pieces.) read more

First time finding this gem in Bellevue. Great authentic Venezuelan menu. Cant beat the flavors and the staff is amazing.

El Arepon Venezuelan - Venezuelan Cuisine * Bellevue, NE. - Food Trucks Near Me

I went to El Arepon with my mom & cousin back in June when I was visiting from my life in the UK. Everything was exceptional. Service. FOOD!!! Blew our minds! I'm still dreaming of it back in the UK. read more

Went with a buddy for some quick street food. We both ordered the Llanera. It was super beefy flavored. Extra juicy- almost too juicy and too messy, but only almost. I was tempted to order a second one because it was so good! Churos were as expected: crispy sugary goodness outside, soft on the inside. Service was great. They take cash, credit and Venmo. As far as ambience goes: it's a good truck. You bring your own vibes. Highly recommended! read more

El Arepon Venezuelan - Food Trucks Near Me

Tried this little restaurant last night and it was pretty damn good! The food was flavorful and delicious. They bring you these incredible sauces that come with the meal that are to die for. We asked for a few more just to take home with us--they were that good! There are a few vegetarian options available, which is always a must in my book. I had the vegetarian arepa, which is stuffed with avocado and pico de gallo--so good! My only critique is that the portion of my food was a little small and I felt hungry afterward--but the price was still reasonable given the quantity of food. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and inviting, although they could benefit from some AC! Service was phenomenal. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I would come here again to try some different options on the menu. read more

Ordered for pickup. The restaurant was playing some nice music on their tv. The staff were so nice and friendly. The arepa was delicious. I didn't eat all of it right away and it was still pretty crispy when I came back to it. Will go back again. read more

If you have never had an arepa you are missing out. El Arepon is the only place in Omaha that I have had an arepa from and it did not disappoint. I went to the switch in blackstone. They fully load the arepa with fresh and flavorful products. Their sauces are unmatched. Very affordable too! read more

I have driven past Kohls and Aldis across the street from the Nebraska Furniture Mart and have seen this food truck, but always assumed it was just another Mexican food truck until somebody told me it wasn't, it is Venezuelan. Doing a little research I found out Arepas have been around longer than Venezuela was a country, so I was exited to try something new, but the truck has been in the shop getting a new engine and just returned this Wednesday, so today was my first experience of Venezuelan food and it knocked my socks off. I first tried the Pabellon, which is shredded beef in a sort of a BBQ sauce, black beans, plantains, a fried egg and cheese, which just blended together perfectly and was a meal in itself. It came with a white sauce that is more like a sweet cucumber sauce and a green sauce a little spicy and sweet. I also got the Reine Pepeada: shredded chicken in a creamy avocado sauce but the Pabellon filled me, I hope to add its review later. They ask you to call ahead with your order because it takes 10-15 minutes to create which is about how far away I live, you just have to figure out what's what first. Now, what do I try next? I will be back. read more

Stopped in to check out the food hall and sample the fair. My wife and I each tried a Pabellon, which had pork, beans, fried egg and plantain, we had them hold the cheese. We both loved these.

Just delicious! The Reina Pepeada is amazing!!! The empanadas are so packed with flavor that I seriously crave them!

What in the world? How do they make such delicious empanadas? I had the chicken and the Domino (black beans and cheese). And I got a vegan black bean empanada for my friend. Everything was absolutely top notch. Super delicious fillings and the best crust ever. They're served with a garlic mayo based sauce and a jalapeños (i think) sauce. The staff running the shop were very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make some seriously good eats. read more

As a foreword to this review, this place used to be a food truck but now has a stall in Blackstone in Farnam St between 36 and 37th Street. Anyways, this place is located right as you go into the building as the second shop inside. You will immediately identify it as its Logo has the Venezuelan colors in it. They serve arepas, empanadas, juices and other small snacks. The owner himself is there, serving the customers. I tried the Arepa Llanera, two meat empanadas and guanábana juice. The arepas and empanadas were a good portion, and two of them can fill in for a small meal and keep one satisfied. The dough is well made and both snacks had lots of meat filling. There are several other options that seem equally delicious.... and if you have not tried guanábana, which I think is called soursop in English, you have to! Its a perfect refresher that goes along this Venezuelan street food. read more

El Arepon is such a gem! We would go regularly when they were over in the Blackstone District, and they're absolutely worth the slightly longer drive out to Bellevue. The good is amazing, truly a unique culinary and cultural experience. If you go you should DEFINITELY try the Pepitos sandwich- it's everything but the kitchen sink and is a literal explosion of flavor. My fiancé and I joke about having them cater our wedding that's how much we love this place read more

We have been looking for this food truck for over a year and yesterday it appeared like a mirage in front of the Kohl's on 72nd St. After talking with to the man inside he told us he is there from Thursday - Sunday from 11am to 10pm (although trust me it is very easy to miss it). They specialize in Arepas which are flat corn tortillas that are stuffed with delicious goodness. The most common one in Venezuela, and is my favorite, is Reina Pepiada (it's shredded chicken with avocado). Other popular ones are Carne Mechada (shredded beef with vegetables and seasonings), pork, sausage, ground beef. They also make empanadas, but unfortunately their fryer was not working when we were there. They also have pop and some traditional latin america fruit juices. They also cater. Service was very quick. Our food was delicious, although the menu said that each arepa is $3.50 and we were charged $4 for each. Still a great price. Make sure to go visit them, for sure we will be returning. read more

So amazing. I am from Florida where I've eaten my share of Venezuelan food and this is definitely worth it. My boyfriend got chicken pepitos and he said the texture and the favor are amazing. Definitely for someone who is hungry because it is a BIG portion. And I got the vegetarian arepa and the cheese empanadas and both were truly incredible. It was very welcoming and when someone is excited and proud of his food it makes me want to support it even more. Will 10/10 be back. Ps the photo is of the pepitos already started eating it but it was beautiful. read more

I would have never guessed this place would be one of my favorites in Omaha. I go to Aldi all the time and decided to stop at the truck in the parking lot one day because I was hungry - and I'll be back ASAP. I got all vegetarian options from them and seriously everything was so good, flavorful, and you can tell / taste that they take their time and a lot of care in making the food. It was SO TASTY!! Also everyone was so friendly and even asked us how it was after we ate. I'll be back ASAP! read more

This place is amazing. I started going when it was the food truck on 72nd and blumpkin and never looked back. Friendliest owner of all time. Lovely addition to the Switch food hall. Top 10 Omaha restaurant. read more

I never really knew Venezuelan food. I was introduced to food from El Arepon at an event at my school and I had been wanting to go visit the truck ever since. The menu selection is quite big and as a newbie to this food, I took quite a while to decide. The food industry always says that the food speaks for itself but perhaps the first and a really important selling point of the truck is the owner, Richard. He is always welcoming with a smile. He was very patient and helpful in explaining every dish helping me make my decision. I had the two arepas, Reina Pepiada (shredded chicken avocado creamy salad) and Pabellon (Beef, fried egg, fried plantains). Both compliment each other so well that they are my go to whenever I visit. I have also tried their chicken and cheese empanadas which were very tasty as well. Both the arepas and empanadas are served in a similar corn-based bread, although the empanadas are deep fried. Served with a side of green salsa (good enough to die for) and ranch. They have some good traditional fruit juices as well. The fried plantains with cheese are really good as well. You can call ahead of time and have your order ready if you are in rush or else the prep time is usually 10-15 mins. The prices range from $3 to $5.5 depending on the content. Still a great price point. I will be surely visiting soon but make sure you visit them. Helped expand my South American cuisine horizons ! read more

I love to explore all cuisines and Venezuelan cuisine is in my try list from long time. I am glad to say , I find the best place to start with.
