text: To describe this briefly it is like what you would get if Viva Las Arepas actually tasted goodnnI was excited to try Rika Arepa Express when Amanda M told me how good they were and I my eyes grew wide when I heard that they would be at Bad Beat Brewing in Henderson which is just minutes from my place They were supposed to be there at pm and I arrived around but the food truck took until to arrive and spent perhaps more minutes to set up their spot in front of Bad Beat and to get their stoves fired up and what notnnMy wait was rewarded the moment I bit into my Pabellon The sweet plantains hit first with their warmth their soft yet not mushy texture and of course their sweetness They made me regret not getting the combo which comes with lots of sweet plantains The shredded beef came next and delighted my taste buds with savory flavor The black beans actually tasted good too and the melted mozzarella was great Encompassing all of its fillings the arepa itself was a cornmeal flatbread with a crisp browned exterior and a soft interior and it easily stayed intact until the end I love corn by the way The arepa and the foil wrapping turned out to be so hot that I am pretty sure my fingers received firstdegree burns and my mouth did not care one bitnnSince I decided to sit truckside they offered me squeeze bottles of green creamy cilantro and spicy read mediumish smoky red sauce The pabellon arepa was possibly good enough without these sauces but just a squeeze or two of each or both at once every couple of bites really enhances the flavor profilennOne arepa is huge enough and at posttax is a good value but I also ordered the La Sureufa with grilled chicken smoked sausage and avocado It was almost as good as my Pabellon The juicy flavor of the marinatedherbed chicken the sweetness of the sausage and the creaminess of the avocado all blended harmoniously with the hot and structurally sound arepa serious props this was over half an hour into the meal to please my taste buds just minutes after I would already enjoyed a masterpiece I would recommend trying both although maybe you could consider sharing them with a friend bring a knife or somethingnnI also had the parchita or passion fruit juice It is pretty much the same thing the Peruvian maracuya or any other juice made from real passion fruit that is had the seeds strained It is sweet and has its own unique almost incomparable flavor It tastes like passion fruit Yeah that is the best description I can give sue me I enjoyed the parchita so thoroughly while waiting for my arepas and during the meal that I had to get a refill togo in the original cup The refill most of it anyway is sitting in my fridge now and waiting for my taste buds to give innnAmanda M and my other fellow Yelpers have it right These guys are absolutely amazing I think they are easily a contender for best food truck in Vegas and they easily top Viva Las Arepas in the notverysaturated arepas category Make it a mission to find these guys at least once and I have no doubt that you will be happy with your food
