Arepa TX: Latin America and Texas Collide at This Fusion Eatery
July 3, 2017 | orion
Recipes from Central America, Argentina, and right here in Texas are all important parts of the menu at Arepa TX. The eatery incorporates cuisines from all over the world into its handheld, savory pastry, the arepa. This traditional Latin American eat features a naturally gluten-free cake of corn flour, water, and salt that's grilled to crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, then stuffed with eclectic ingredients.
Try the brisket and chimichurri or the barbecue pulled pork if you're looking for a Texas-style bite, and opt for the barbecue jackfruit (which mimics pulled pork) to avoid all animal products. Another fun form of Texas-Latin fusion fare is the fried chicken and maple arepa, whereas the banh mi chicken weaves in an element of Asian cuisine. Black beans, avocado, and chimichurri mingle in another vegan and gluten-free option at Arepa TX. Pair your meal with a craft beer, house-made sangria, or a sweet cup of custard for the full Arepa TX experience.
