About

Arepa Zone serves Venezuelan street food at a counter, with arepas, empanadas, and cachapas; the Vegana arepa combines plantain, avocado, and black beans. It’s a casual quick-meal stop with mini-arepa trios and takeout, though one reviewer reported being given a non-vegan white dip alongside the vegan arepa.
