Had a Friday lunch date with the wife while the kids were at school. As she’s a celiac, this 100% gluten free menu did not disappoint. Found out you can do online ordering and still sit there to eat. Fun little order seating area, can’t wait for their brick and mortar restaurant!

100% will be back and recommend!

Our second time doing take-out from this food truck. Everything is GF. Enjoyed the pernil arepa (pork sandwich and the steak and chicken saltados – all excellent. Online ordering is super-easy, with handy ability to add and remove ingredients if needed.

Completely gluten free. I have celiac and I love the food. So flavorful and you can order ahead to make things faster. You can easily make things dairy free as well.

Although this is a “permanent” food cart and there is only outdoor seating beneath the highway and next to a busy shopping center, the place is 100% gluten free and 100% flavorful. The arepas are worth sitting in the heat in the summer at one of their picnic tables or grabbing a meal “to go” at anytime. You will not be disappointed by the deliciousness.

Whether you are gluten free or not this is a great place to get something to eat. I recommend the peanil arepa. My husband had the grilled chicken bowl which was also very good. Just a food truck but the food is great and the atmosphere fun.

We needed a gluten free place for a sports tournament. These arepas were outstanding! I could have eaten the chimchurri alone. Being 100% gluten free, it felt safe for the people on the team with celiac and gluten sensitivity.

We’ve eaten here a few times now and thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and the assurance of safety. The pernil, maduros, and arepas themselves are our favorite items. The crispy Brussels have a spicy sweet pineapple sauce that is unique and delicious, too.

Absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is great, it is a good truck so parking is obviously limited & seating is outside. We ordered ahead online & arrived to it being packed up and still steaming! We drove from York, it's about 40 mins, but 100% worth it. Way better than anything local to us.

Their food is good, I won't deny that, however their customer service may be the worst I've ever encountered. After missing part of our order, the manager is insisting we are being dishonest and going so far as to sending screenshots of video footage of the order conveniently placed OUTSIDE of the bag and then the bag being handed to my husband. Also conveniently, there is no footage or screenshot of said order going into the bag.

Bottom line is we paid for food we didn't receive and rather than make it right in any form, we are being called dishonest. I understand times are hard right now but literally stealing from customers is not the answer and insulting their character after supporting you for years is shameful.

We're sorry to hear about your recent visit, Jackie. You should always expect to receive everything you order. The manager on duty informed that he tried to make it right by remaking the missing item but the person on the phone demanded the full amount back or a low rating review from you. We apologize for any miscommunication from our team.

Seriously one of the best meals I’ve had in my entire life (including before being diagnosed with celiac). Zero concern about cross contamination, and only the cheese had dairy in it. This is a hidden gem. The only downside is that this is the only location!

This is a new consistent stop for me when I am in the area, even if I’m just stopping for plantains or yuca fries. The whole truck is GF & I enjoyed everything I (& taste tested my family’s as well) food. It’s wonderful to have a good arepas place!! One thing I didn’t realize about arepas until after I was diagnosed is that they hold up better than GF bread. I had to drive a bit & my pork arepa (with bbq sauce) was still an arepa when I went to eat it & not mush. That was a bonus!
