This is hands down the best arepa I’ve had in California!! It really took me back home in one bite! I definitely recommend the arepa pabellón if you like shredded beef black beans and plantains 😋 the three sauces offered were amazing especially the creamy green one! Perfection ✨

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Despite having a stand inside SAP for several years, I never really bothered ordering anything because arena prices can be a bit high.. One of the guys handed out some free samples that just had cheese and was really impressed with the texture and flavor of the arepa shell.. Ended up ordering my very first arepa from Pana just the other night. Great promo as they just soft opened up their location inside the Downtown Food Hall, and ended up wanting to grab more on my way to another hockey game. Absolutely delicious.. try out the limeade as well. Very refreshing and fresh tasting.

Tried this new location today after usually going to Santa Cruz and it was delicious! The food was fantastic and had so much flavor! I love that they happen to be 100% gluten free and have so many vegetarian and vegan options. The food is so good you won’t be let down eating here.
