We’ve been eating at Pana’s food truck for several years now and we consistently get the best tasting arepas hands down! I always get vegetarian and my husband gets chicken or beef. Such good flavor in all and the masa/shell is so tender and also has savory flavor! All their sauces are delicious but my favorite is the garlic sauce, I order a couple for the side and use for my plantains too. They are very filling! One is all either of us can finish! We also share plantains and I have one of their fresh squeezed juices! Always a great choice! At any of their locations!

Ordering Experience:
Pana Food Truck provided catering for our in-house event in Palo Alto, accommodating an indoor setup without the actual truck. They were flexible and attentive to our budget needs.
Food Quality:
We selected boxed lunches featuring arepas and two sides. The ingredients were fresh and healthy, and everyone appreciated that the meal was light and easy to digest—no discomfort afterward.
Service & Communication:
The team’s communication was excellent both before and during the event. I was able to reach them easily whenever I had questions or needed support.

We had Pana cater our wedding, and they were absolutely awesome! It was so special to be able to share such delicious gluten-free food with our guests - everyone loved it. German was wonderful to work with: so accommodating, clear, and helpful throughout the whole process. We couldn’t recommend Pana more highly!

This is my favorite booth at SAP when I go to Sharks games. You can see the arepas being grilled fresh and the fillings are so flavorful. The owners are very welcoming. I’m looking forward to the opening of their San Jose location since I haven’t been able to make it to Santa Cruz.
Absolutely LOVED that we found Pana. My wife eats gluten free and when I found Pana's IG I definitely wanted to try them out. It's nice to take a visit to Santa Cruz for lunch. I've chatted with German and found out they are opening a place in SJ. Not knowing what to expect since it was our first time trying Pana, so we were happy that the food was amazingly delicious and the restaurant crew was awesome with their recommendations. Certainly will visit again in SC and even better in SJ. German, Thank You for creating and sharing such delicious gluten free options.

Pana food truck catered our pre-wedding park day and we can absolutely recommend working with them! German was so kind and responsive throughout the planning process. He was detail oriented and responded to all of our questions leading up to the big day. On the day of the event, the food truck arrived early to set up and all staff members were professional and friendly. All of the guests (over 100!! ) were talking about how delicious the arepas and plantains were, and the team was able to accommodate a variety of dietary needs. Don’t think twice if you’re considering Pana! The food is AMAZING!!

I tried one Reina and one Pelua.
The recipe for Reina looks more like Tinga, that's why it not giving full stars
Also it was not full my arepa, was just the half
