    This was my first time trying out Venezuelan food and wow I was super impressed. There was so much flavor in all of the dishes. Really loved the variety of Arepas. Their sauce was also on point. The wait is not too bad, and theres even ice cream right next to the cashier on the right. Put this on your list to try!

    I first developed an appreciation for Venezuelan food when I lived next to an Afro-Venezuelan restaurant in Philadelphia's Loft District. As a frequent diner at their restaurant, they provided me consistent five-star service, introduced me to arepas and Venezuelan hot chocolate, and told me the best stories to share their cultural insights about Venezuela. Viva Las Arepas is much more of a high-volume institution than a warm and cozy mom-and-pop restaurant, like the one I mentioned above. What Viva Las Arepas lacks in intimacy, it delivers in spades with solid customer service, mesmerizing aromas, and mouthwatering noshes of Venezuelan street food. The reina pepiada arepa (named after the first Venezuelan international beauty queen) is my all-time favorite and what I ordered the last time I visited Viva Las Arepas. I decided to branch out this time around, and I ordered the shrimp arepa (#8) with avocado and fried egg along with the pabellon arepa (#12) that came with beef, black beans, plantain, and cheese... OMG, I'm filing the shrimp arepa (with avocado and fried egg) under GREAT IDEAS WORTH CELEBRATING because it was absolutely divine!!! The arepa hit all the flavor and textural elements that I look for in a great sandwich--crunchy, garlicky, creamy, chewy, textural contrast, and harmonious flavors--and the fried egg and corn flavor of the arepa just took it to the next level. While the pabellon arepa was highly recommended in previous Yelp reviews and is listed as a chef's recommendation on the restaurant's menu, I much preferred the shrimp arepa. The reina pepiada arepa (my all-time favorite) is also now a distant second to the shrimp arepa. Nom nom. Note: For those with gluten allergies or gluten sensitivities, arepas are gluten free.

    Viva Las Arepas has been a local gem of Vegas for a long awhile, and my husband and I only recently finally tried it. We loved it! First of all, the service is so friendly and nice. To top it off, the food is delicious with reasonable prices. We tried an assortment of arepas - carne asada, pollo asado mechado, pork butt. The best was carne asada by far, and I liked that it came with tomato and lettuce. The chicken was not as flavorful as the carne asada. We also tried carne asada and pollo empanadas. I wasn't in love with them, and we probably wouldn't get them again. Overall, if I wanted a snack, I'd come back for a carne asada arepa. Very family friendly place!

    Great place to get Arepas. Arepas are a soft, fluffy bread filled with warm meat. This is on the strip near by the STRAT, and its kind of in a sketch part of the strip, but def worth going to try this place out! It has plenty of seats inside and quick service.
