    A little bit of heaven. Beef, cheese, black beans, plantains. #GetInMyBelly #arepas #taquenos #yum #ReviewsByRL @elvenezolanoft

    The truck
    Ann L.

    I had an arepa with shredded beef, plantains and black beans. It was delicious and the truck was a great addition to the food offerings at the Broad Ripple Art Fair. The meat was flavorful and nicely seasoned, and the beans and plantains went nicely with it. The corn wrap was fresh and tasty as well. The only tricky thing was that they didn't have any utensils, so it was a little tricky to eat. I get that this is supposed to be food you can pick up and eat like a sandwich, but the beans made a run for it, and I ended up shamelessly eating beans and shredded beef with my fingers. I stayed far away from the art while doing this. Some might be put off by the $8 price per arepa, but I found the portion large enough for a light lunch. Putting the prices on the sign might be helpful though, as I overheard a few customers with sticker shock when told the total of the items they ordered.

    food truck on the north side

    While attending an event on the north side/Carmel, I noticed a lone food truck had set up on the south end of the market place. It was my first time trying El Venezolano and I was pleased. I don't eat at food trucks often since they tend to have a limited menu compared to brick and mortar restaurants, but the description of the Arepas that were being offered convinced me to give one a try. I went with the Pollo (Seasoned Shredded Chicken) Arepa which comes with a condiment size cup of sauce. The arepa is a gluton-free corn cake (about as thick as a pancake) that is folded like a taco and STUFFED with the meat of choice. The sauce, a creamy mint colored option added some moisture, though I wasn't aware of the change in flavor compared to the rest of the entree. Plenty to eat; plenty of large pieces of white chicken breast, a mild seasoning and the sauce was enough to be filling. It might have been nice to have some sides offered, but I didn't see any. I think if I see them again, I will try one of the beef options that I see are recommended on other reviews. Review #2656

    Empanadas! My best option with Malta!

    My favorite food! Definitely. I loved Empanadas, Tequeños and Cachapas. And Arepa pabellon too. They are around Indy.

    Extremely fresh and delicious, there's nothing like this here in Indianapolis. You really need to go check this place out! You must try the pabellón ! It was very unique and very flavorful, it is nothing like anything I have ever tried before and I have traveled quite a bit! Whenever you get a chance you need to go here, or follow them on Instagram

We really enjoyed the tostones and look forward going back to try more items on the menu soon! The unique location of it being a school bus outside Tractor Supply made this experience feel like a fun little side quest! Enjoy your meal inside the bus or take it to go! Cheers!

    7.25.26 I've seen the converted white school bus parked in the lot at the Noblesville Tractor…read moreSupply, and I knew it was a food truck. Fried sweet plantains are one of my favorite things (and what I miss most about living in Miami may years ago...) So this weekend I finally decided to stop there. How fun to realize that half of the bus is also tables for an actual sit-in dining experience?! What a cute, unique experience. Also I learned they are closed Sunday & Monday, but otherwise there in the week for lunch through dinner. I got there at a perfect time - I was the only person. But they shortly got several more customers as I was there. I was really just going to order fried sweet plantains, but I decided to get the "vegan arepa" with is an arepa with black brands, avocado, and the friend sweet plantains. ($11.50) I'm not vegan / I eat meat, but that combination looked appealing today and would also get me some of the sweet plaintains that I was craving. I got it to go, and it came with a little side of a nice crème sauce, and a little side of red sauce that I very quickly learned was ghost pepper! Which I don't see mention of on the menu, but I heard the other patrons in the bus talking about it. (I will say, I did save the rest of that little contianer ... gonna suffer wth it on some other food, too ...) The food was a #yum! Definitely next time going to go all-in on the sweet plantains, too. #ReviewsByRL

    I've been here for breakfast and lunch and both times had a great experience with delicious food…read moreand good service. Between my two visits, I got the vegan arepa, Venezuelan breakfast plate, tres leches cake cup, and regular and horchata matcha lattes. The vegan arepa was very tasty. It was a little difficult to eat because the arepa was sliced so thinly that it didn't look sturdy enough to pick up, but it was too crispy to easily cut through with a fork and knife. Still delicious though. I had meant to order with the pink sauce but forgot to specify and got what I think was the guasacaca instead, but it was so good that I didn't really mind. The Venezuelan plate was the right balance of simple and flavourful. Great acai bowl. Tres leches was very sweet, but I enjoyed it, and it was a nice individual portion. The regular matcha latte was pretty good, however the horchata was so sweet that I thought it somewhat overpowered the matcha in the horchata latte. I also tried the açai bowl and fresh-squeezed OJ that my family ordered, and would also highly recommend both of those! Whether you're visiting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there's a ton of variety including Venezuelan, Mexican, other Latin American, and USAmerican dishes, and some vegetarian and vegan options. The atmosphere is cool with the fake plants on the ceiling, and they had fun Latin music on. The waitress we had both times was friendly and professional, and the food was reasonably quick to come out. Recommended for something different in Bloomington!

Naturally, I pulled up the Yelp app to search for something open nearby for recommendations. Turns out Delicia is one of my friend's boyfriend's favorite restaurant in Broad Ripple. They both frequent the restaurants in that area as they live in the neighborhood so that's definitely saying something and I can see why based on the vibe and atmosphere! We were only there for drinks (which were amazing) and they were definitely worth making another trip for. I ordered the "Pulparindo" which is slightly spicy tamarind vodka, fresh mango puree, raw sugar simple, lime juice and a yummy tajin rim. I would have had more of it wasn't last call when we placed our order. Another popular choice was the "FIRE 'N' Ice" made with el charro jalapeño infused reposado tequila, hibiscus I basil I habanero reduction, tres chiles infused ice ball. Beautiful presentation with all the drinks. Our waitress was great and attentive. I also really liked how I felt instantly in a better mood in that space and I will be going back again for dinner soon.

The service was quick and staff were friendly. We LOVED the queso and Johnny Cakes for appetizers. Everyone's meal was delicious and well portioned. The ingredients feel fresh and intentional with every dish. Overall, I wouldn't consider this restaurant a "must try" but a very solid option! If you're in town and looking for a more upscale experience with a Caribbean/Spanish cuisine then I would recommend this spot.
