Ask for the chingona sauce if you'd like to make your arepas really hot! They keep it in the fridge, so you have to ask for it.

The arepas are amazing
Snehal AvichalNovember 5, 2011
Get an A-8 (De Pabellón) or an A-20 (La Sureña). Wash it down with a cocada or camburada.

Great quick bite of Venezuelan food. Always busy, but no reservations needed.

Not what you might think of when you think arepas, but this is how the Venezuelans do it.
