Papa Arepas was a big hit at my office. They arrived with plenty of time to set up, food ordering on their digital kiosk was easy and convenient, and the food was superb! We will definitely be having them back.

Plantain! Jerk chicken was fried crispy. Thought the jerk barbecue could have been a little spicier. Still very good

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and Iâm so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazingâmy guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety⊠I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you canât go wrong! đ
