🍽️ About Viva Las Arepas

Tucked away in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, Viva Las Arepas has become a true hidden gem for locals and visitors alike. This unassuming Venezuelan eatery has been serving up authentic and delicious arepas for over 15 years, steadily growing from a humble food cart to a full-fledged restaurant that has captured the hearts and taste buds of the community.

At the core of Viva Las Arepas’ success are the arepas themselves – round, crispy pockets made from cornmeal that serve as the perfect vessel for a variety of savory fillings. From the classic shredded beef and melted cheese to the more adventurous options like the black bean and plantain arepa, each bite is a flavor explosion that transports you straight to the vibrant streets of Venezuela.

But Viva Las Arepas is more than just a place to enjoy exceptional Venezuelan cuisine – it’s a gathering place, a hub of lively energy, and a testament to the power of authentic, homemade food. The cozy, casual atmosphere and friendly service create an inviting ambiance that makes it the perfect spot for a casual lunch, a lively dinner with friends, or a quiet date night.
