    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.

    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

    The pollo arepa is delicious. The chicken is marinated well and the corn flour cake is soooo good!

    1.30.26 It's been a while since I've been over to Cumaco - which really, I should go more, they…read morehave fried sweet plantains!! We went on a Thursday night. It's just off Allisonville and 96th, with plenty of parking. We could tell right away that there was only one staff member working the register and the grill and the tables (apparently other staff had called off), so we knew there might be a little wait. He kept apologizing, but honestly it did not take that long to get our food. And the food is such a #yum! (Because of a Yelp item, I had a free Pabellon Arepa - it had a really good size portion of shredded beef, beans, cheese, and, my favorite, sweet plantains.) But outside of that, my husband was with me and we ordered more food: The Don Luis bowl (chicken fajita with rice & beans), and a side of fried yuca. We also got a side of tequenos - the delicious little fried cheese sticks wrapped in a thicker dough. Everything was tasty, and we have enough leftovers that I have lunch the next two days! #yum #ReviewsByRL

The Arepas are made to order and are stuffed with meat and cheese. Honestly a great value considering how much food they stuff in there. Tried out the passion fruit juice as well and I loved it, couldn't keep my kids from drinking all of it. Definitely recommend and I'll be bringing friends to try it out as well!

    I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed VIvencia yet, but I looked and sure enough, I've been slacking!…read more After many trips, here is a quick summary of my most recent visit and some observations. TLDR: Love it. Visited today for breakfast with a friend, and it wasn't busy when I arrived, but was surprised at how many people arrived as we ate. It was a workday, and I thought there might be some breakfast meetings taking place, but the crowd trickled in a bit later as the morning lingered. Coffee options abound. As do smoothies and 'wellness shots' which aren't my thing but if you'd like a shot of healthy greens and a spice I've never heard of, enjoy! I had black coffee and it tasted better than most breakfast shots. They have a wide variety of lattes and other fancy custom options like the strawberry shortcake latte, etc. Ordered the breakfast burrito (sausage) and it was very good. I think I had the hangover burrito before (same thing but with gravy on top) and would opt for that one again next time. I had the strawberry banana pancakes at a prior visit as well, and remember them fondly. My dining companion had biscuits and gravy and said they were good. He is a man of few words. For dinner, they have a great menu that is 'latin flavors' as they say - everything from traditional Mexican food you'd find elsewhere to Argentinian options and more. They have great food. On a nice day, the patio is great other than the street traffic noise. This is a great option if you're wanting to get away from the other Mexican restaurants in town but still want something along those lines.
