Arempas is an authentic Venezuelan food experience with delicious options. It always takes me back to my time living in Caracas and reminds me of my father’s home cooked arepas (he is from Mérida Venezuela). Every time we come to SLC we visit Arempas for a meal. We will be back again soon

DENNIS IS MY HERO!!! Discovered we had a flat tire after having dinner at a different restaurant downtown… We just happened to be parked in front of Arempas. Dennis saw two young women struggling and instantly jumped in to assist, bringing his own tools and changed the tire for us. Truly cannot thank him enough for his kindness… He refused to take any money for his help, but you’ve gained two new loyal customers for life! Thanks Dennis!!! 🫶
