This is my favorite food truck. I swear my car drives itself towards this truck when it's in a 20 mile radius. The owners are so friendly and the food is incredible - like out of this world delicious! Go get you an arepa and thank me later read more

Tried this food truck at the brewery in surf city and loved it! Was so happy surprised by this place! Ordered a chicken arepa and split some taquenos! Loved them both! They were both filling and delicious. Loved the sauces that came with both. The green sauce was so delicious and I loved the brown sauce. It was sweet and went so well with the food. Lots of cheese on the arepa and the outside shell was great. The arepa was ~$10.50 which I thought was very fair. Workers were very kind! I would definitely come back! read more

I was craving an arepa and this place hit the spot! If you haven't had an arepa it's a pocket filled with goodness-a cross between a pita and tortilla! YUM! So I found their location on their Instagram. Super easy and they mainly go to breweries at night but they are at a car dealership for lunch! There was no line but it was a later lunch at 1pm. We ordered 2 shredded beef arepas and 2 ground beef empanadas. Of course food trucks are a bit pricier but this meal filled me up! Seriously, I was full all day and didn't eat dinner. The meat in both were super flavorful and moist! The arepa was a bit crunchier then others I've had but was tasty and held together with all the juicy goodness inside! They have an awesome green/cilantro sauce. The yellow sauce didn't taste like much. The empanada had a unique dough, it wasn't flaky but since it was deep fried it was good. I'll definitely be back to taste their other options! read more

Tried this new food truck at Mad Mole Brewing. Menu was simple: arepas ($7), tequenos ($5), and tres leche cake ($6, 4 pieces). Arepa options were shredded beef, ground beef, chicken, and tuna salad. It wasn't too busy when we arrived, just a couple of people ahead of us. Our food did not take too long to be ready. We tried the shredded beef, ground beef, and tuna salad. All of them were delicious. They all had chopped tomato, diced red onion, tons of Venezuelan shredded cheese, and drizzled with a cilantro garlic crema. The shredded beef and ground beef had the same cumin-based seasoning. The arepa was soft, with a thick bottom foundation and a thinner top. One arepa was filling for me but for my partner, he ate about two arepas. If you want some spice, they had a hot sauce available-a smoky Chipotle flavor. The taquenos were also great. The dough was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The flavor of the dough was a balance between sweet and salty. The taquenos were stuffed with Venezuelan cheese inside and served with a thousand island dip. The tres leche cake was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The cake was moist and spongy and drenched in sweet milk mixture. It was topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with cinnamon. Owner was awesome, walked around and asked all of his customers how the food was. read more

Last night we tried Venezuelan food for the first time and it will not be the last! The owner was friendly and helpful, describing the dishes and answering my questions. The food came out hot and it was absolutely delicious! Between us we had Caribbean bowls, pork arepas and tequenos (Mexican cheese sticks). Look for them at the Salty Turtle Brewery and other local spots. I must say that we look forward to trying more and will probably become regulars to this food truck! read more

A friend was raving about this place to me in January. I've been trying to get to them since and finally our schedules worked out and I made it out to try them. Their menu looks great. After debating a bit I went with their Caribbean bowl. It has rice, beans, Pico, cheese, a corn sauce that was delicious, plantains and your choice of meat. This bowl is priced at $14.25 plus tax so I think with tip I paid $19. I'm a vegetarian so I do lose out by not getting the meat. A nice option might be pricing it without the meat and then if you want to add meat you could add it for $4 or $5. Anyway, the bowl was delicious. Great flavors. Nothing was over or under seasoned. It was all perfect. I could have used more of the corn sauce. I think it was my favorite component and there just wasn't enough. This was also my first time trying plantains. They were ok. Kind of like a dry banana with not as much flavor. Not really my thing but whatever. There was enough food in the bowl for me to have a mini snack later that night. I definitely want to try other menu items. The people working were friendly and the food came out pretty fast. read more

we tried this food truck for the first time tonight and it was AMAZING!!!! the arepas are so fresh and the ingredients were so delicious! we can't wait to visit them again! read more

I had such high hopes for this food yesterday but unfortunately it fell extremely short. I'd tried the arepa in the past, but today, all the food just tasted like grease. I had been looking forward to trying the empanada for weeks. When food tastes like the oil, that means the oil was not hot enough and just soaks into the food. Everyone in our crew was very disappointed. Hopefully you will be sure to address this issue going forward to ensure you're delivering a consistent product. read more

Empanadas were good, but the tequeños were by far the worst I've ever had. They were so bad, I could feel my ancestors crying.

My family happened to see the food truck while in Surf City. Pointed it out to my dad and he was instantly intrigued. The food looked amazing and tasted even better. My dad hadn't even finished his food before he was ready to order more. Generous proportions and great service. Would definitely visit again. read more

Fantastic! Incredible food and the coolest owners! Follow this food truck anywhere it goes!
