Absolutely fantastic experience at El Establo de la Arepa! The food was beyond amazing – the fish was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and paired beautifully with a fresh, delicious salad. Every bite was a delight! The service was equally impressive; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. A true gem for anyone who loves great food and warm hospitality. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

I recently moved from Orlando to Haines City and stumbled upon this incredible food truck. As someone who has worked in the culinary industry for over 12 years, I can confidently say that this is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The quality of the food is outstanding, the presentation is top-notch, and the staff is incredibly attentive, patiently answering all my questions. I’ve traveled the world and dined at Michelin-starred restaurants, yet this food truck took me by surprise with its excellence. If you’re still debating which food truck to try, look no further—this is the one. Go for it, you won’t be disappointed!

Wow, you have got to try this place! The people running it are true foodies - you can just tell they're passionate about what they do. It's a small family-run joint, but the love and care they put into every dish deserves 10 stars. As far as customer service they treated us like family too. It's really impressive to see how hard this family works to serve their community, they deserve my support that’s why I’m on here leaving a review and I will definitely be back and try all their dishes.

All the food has being good so far. Frappes are REALLY good, a little pricey, but extremely good. Pizza, empanadas, chicken nuggets, arepas are amazing, their garlic sauce is veryyy good. Will keep trying different dishes. Nice people.

I am very picky about my arepas because I feel like it’s hard to find the right place that makes it the right way and this was PERFECT! I had the carne mechada and it was the right amount of flavor, juicy, and it was the right cheese!! i have tried many others in the area and none compare to this place. My son ate the pizza pastelito and loved it! I will absolutely be ordering again. We ordered from UberEats. Thank you for an amazing meal!
