Today El Chamo Criollo visited my office park for our weekly food truck day. Once I saw they had arepas I new I was ordering. But then I read the rest of the menu and was intrigued by the cachapas. When I got to the truck the very nice young lady working the window greeted me. I asked her what the difference was between the arepas and the cachapas, she explained and said she preferred the cachapas. I thought Ok, I'll try something new. OMG, this is so good. I got it with pork and the pork on it's own is delicious, but the flavors of the pork, cheese and cachapa all together, soooo good. I highly recommend this truck for the delicious food and outstanding service. Thank you!!

The food was amazing! Nothing beats a fresh arepa with a delicious filling. Tried the pabellon as well, and it was delicious. The plantains were cooked perfectly with lightly crispy edges. Hope I run across this food truck again soon, because I'll change dinner plans just to eat there.

Since I was interested to eat a good arepa after a long time, I contacted them via text, to have information about location schedule, but the answer was so poor and lack of interest. So,I changed my mind and found another good place to go... mala nota pana

My absolute favorite food truck! I recommend the cachapa and the homemade spicy sauce.

I'm not a big fan of the cachapa (first time I've tried that dish). I'll try something with the shredded beef next time.

This food truck came to our complex yesterday and OMG! The BESTTTTT food truck I've had here in Jax. We had the cheese Cachapa (so good!) - perfect mix of sweet with the corn pancake like wrap and the stringiest meatiest cheese inside. The green sauce and garlic sauce I had in the side too, wowza! And the sweet plantains, those things are just one of my favorite foods. And we had the chicken arepa #1 La Reina Pepiada! I wish there were words that could describe how delicious it was. My mouth watered with every single bite. I love this place, I really hope they come back to our complex because I need more The Taquenos were just okay, but it didn't even matter because I was way to focused on the rest blowing my mind to care! Def ask for all the extra sauces because they are all bomb.

Arepas are one of the single best things to eat in the world. I've known this fact for 20+ years now growing up in LA. Today I had the best arepa I've had in 20+ years in JACKSONVILLE, FL?!I got the Rumbera with plantains (because plantains are the physical representation of joy in this world) and it was divine. The pork is tender, juicy (but not fatty at all) and so well seasoned. The cheese is a nice sharp counterpoint to the sweet pork and the avocado adds a nice creamy and grassy element. The ajo sauce is creamy and so chock full of wonderful garlic flavor. The arepa itself is perfectly crispy from the flat top it's cooked on, but light and not as dense as others I've had, which is really nice. That corn flavor adds a subtle sweetness that makes these types of sandwiches so darned good. This is the kind of sandwich that I could eat every day. And for $10-$12 bucks, it's not a bad deal. Plus it's big enough to share if you're watching what you're eating too. The service was excellent. The guy who helped me was friendly and my food came out fast and fresh. The truck is clean and I couldn't ask for a better experience. I'be already told my wife I'll take her and started following them on social media. Honestly, this was a wonderful meal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making something this good.

One of my favorite trucks around. Love the people and service. Arepas are very filling so one is good enough for a normal person appetite.
