The Arepa Stand (Food Stand) 🇻🇪

I'm pretty upset about a recent experience at the Torrance Location. This is one of my favorite stands at the market, but unfortunately at my last visit the gentleman taking the orders obviously charged me an extra unknown fee even though I paid CASH. Torrance sales tax is %10.25. A $17 order with tax comes out to $18.74 but for some reason I was charged $19.20+ cents. That number makes sense if you add a credit card fee (which usually is around %2.75).

I don't mind paying money for good food and for workers to paid well. Being charged a fee that doesn't apply to me, and then being lied to when asked about it, is enough to make me not want to come back.

There is another review that shared a similar experience, so it's not an isolated incident.

Best food around! I look forward to every Sunday with them.

We ordered catering for a backyard party because we wanted something a little different, and the arepas were a hit!! Truly delicious arepas & everyone loved them. Ordering and delivery was easy and seamless. I especially appreciate that they included sauces and plates/utensils. So glad we went with the Arepa Stand!

These arepas are my favorite in LA. I’ve tried 3/4 of the menu and have been thrilled with every order! Today I tried the lax and hope they add it to their full time menu. The red lady is also a favorite!

Tried their arepa at the Torrance farmers market. The girl charged me an extra fee when I paid cash. The arepa unfortunately came out soggy, the bean puree was too much, and you couldn’t get any sauces to go on the side. Not worth the $18+ price I paid for just one

$52 for 2 arepas and 1 water… definitely not worth it 🙃

If you’re looking to try arepas, there are some great options in LA. But if you want to taste something out of this world — food that’s so good it makes no sense, with top-tier quality and generous portions — you’ve got to try The Arepa Stand. Nothing else compares. Easily one of the best meals you can have in all of LA. 100% recommended.

I had the delicious hand made cheese arepa for $13 and it was soooo yummy. The arepa was gently crispy with a generous amount of cheese. I also bought 2 hallacas with chicken, the dough was incredibly soft and full of flavors. Again very generous filling. Will definitely become a regular.

The arepa is good but very pricey. Almost $20 with tax (not including tip) for a single arepa, more than $20 if you do any of the $3 add-ons. This would be more like a rare treat for me and my family. Tasty, but the value is not there for the average family budget.

The truth is, the worst arepa I've ever eaten, it doesn't have any seasoning, the meat doesn't taste like anything, it doesn't look like shredded meat, the beans are canned, I really couldn't even eat it ??

Best arepa I’ve ever had - hands down. Light and crispy pocket, smooth black beans, lightly pickled sweet peppers. I thought I was only going to eat half but scarfed it down in 5 minutes. A bit pricy but supremely tasty.
