Venezuelan Arepas: A Taste of Tradition at Mangos

When it comes to Venezuelan comfort food, nothing is more iconic than the arepa. Golden, round, and endlessly versatile, arepas are more than just food—they’re a symbol of culture, identity, and home. At Mangos, we’re proud to bring this beloved dish to Vancouver, freshly made and filled with flavor.

🇻🇪 The History of the Arepa

The arepa has been a staple in Venezuelan households for centuries, tracing back to Indigenous communities who first prepared corn dough as their daily bread. Over time, the arepa became a cultural icon—adaptable to every meal of the day and loved by Venezuelans across the world.

Made from ground maize dough, the arepa is pan-fried or grilled until crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, ready to be split open and stuffed with endless fillings. It’s simple, delicious, and deeply tied to Venezuela’s culinary heritage.
