Larepera is a Venezuelan food truck that specializes in arepas — grilled corn cakes stuffed with a variety of ingredients.

Check out the Reina Pepiada, an arepa filled with shredded chicken, avocado and mayonnaise, or the Catira, an arepa filled with yellow cheese and shredded chicken.

Not feeling the arepa? Larepera also offers cachapas (thin corn cakes), empanadas, burgers and more.

Currently stationed at the Unity on the Bay parking lot at 411 NE 21st St., you can keep track of the truck's other stops by visiting its Facebook page. 

Larepera currently holds five stars out of two reviews on Yelp.

Yelper Veronica A. wrote, "I have to recognize this place for having the best fried Venezuelan arepas in Miami! They have white Venezuelan cheese such as Guayanés, de Mano, paisa, etc. If you are not Venezuelan, but like arepas, I recommend to try the Reina Pepiada (beauty queen) ... Besides the delicious flavor of the arepas, I liked the location of this truck. It is near a street that has a beautiful view of Miami, next to Biscayne."

Tany A. noted, "The best food truck in town! And the service is really good."

Larepera is open from 4 p.m.–midnight from Monday-Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)

Venezuelan-Mexican food truck Orale Pana serves up fries smothered in meat, tacos and more.

Tacos and tostadas are made with a variety of meats, including chicken, pork, shrimp, sausage and more. Or try the bacon burger topped with caramelized onions, tomato, lettuce, American cheese and sauces. 

Keep up with the truck's whereabouts on its Facebook page. 

With a five-star rating out of nine reviews on Yelp, Orale Pana has been getting positive attention.

Yelper Luis R. wrote, "This is probably some of the best street food I've ever had! Staff is very friendly, price is OK and portions are big! I highly recommend it to others."

Paulet D. noted, "The tostada (crunchy flat tortilla topped with steak, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, cilantro, onions and sauce) was good. What gives it the most flavor is the sauce on top of the tostada. The papitas on the burger give it an extra crunch, which balances out the whole burger."

Orale Pana is open from 6:45 p.m.–1 a.m. from Monday-Thursday and Sunday and 6:45 p.m.–3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Pasilla Tacos has been receiving positive feedback, with a current rating of four stars out of 12 reviews on Yelp.

Yelper Wendy A., who was one of the first users to visit Pasilla Tacos on April 29, wrote, "Steak tacos are juicy and perfectly seasoned. Adobo verde chicken was cooked at its best with a delicious, beautiful and tasty green sauce. The flavor was incredible and that cilantro sauce on top was the best."

Jefferson J. noted, "The best steak tacos in town! It's very addicting and the customer service is top of the line. I don't have to wait long for the food and the guacamole and chips are great."
