A Taste of Home, Away from Home
More than a meal—it’s a story.
A Family Tradition Bringing
La Arepa was born from a desire to share the vibrant flavors of Venezuela with Portland’s community. As first and second-generation Venezuelans, we opened our doors in 2010 to fill a gap in authentic Venezuelan cuisine and celebrate our heritage through food.
First and second generation Venezuelans
La Arepa opened in 2010 to fill a gap in Venezuelan culinary representation, bringing a taste of Venezuela to Portland, Oregon. Owned and operated by first and second-generation Venezuelans, our family-run business delivers the vibrant flavors of Venezuela right to your plate.
Since our expansion in 2016, we’ve enhanced our website, diversified our menu, and introduced catering services for events. We’ve also opened job positions, bottled two of our most popular sauces.
Authentic Venezuelan Flavors Crafted with Love
From our earliest days, we’ve focused on delivering bold, comforting flavors that remind us of home. Every dish reflects family recipes passed down through generations, crafted with care and passion to bring you a genuine taste of Venezuela
