What is an arepa?

An arepa is a Venezuelan cornmeal cake that is cooked until the outside is golden and the inside is soft, then split open and filled. It is eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner across Venezuela, and it is naturally made from corn.

At Valencia Cocina you can choose from classic fillings like Carne Mechada and Pabellón-style plates, or newer creations like the Rumbera and the Zach.
