The reina papeada arepa comes warm and crispy around the edges, overstuffed with tasty chicken potato salad and avocado. A squirt of the zingy green dressing that accompanies this, and it is good to go. Straight into my belly.
Fresh, sweet papaya juice is a delicious way to wash it down (and attempt to mask the potent green sauce breath).
But most importantly, at Mil Jugos I've learned that cachapa means 'corn heaven.'
Well, not literally. But to me, it does. The cachapa con queso blanco:
Corn, pancake, cheese, fresh cream. Yes. Yes, yes, yes.I need not say anything further to convey the love I feel for this.

Those corn pancakes were heaven. It's almost 12:30 a.m. and now I'm craving them.
Thank YOU!!!!
I love aprepas and they are had to find. Will go here--to sure!
Linda,
I'm currently trying to will a cachapa into existence here at my desk. It's not working.
Suz,
I don't know of arepas anywhere else in the county! Too bad, really, I just love them.
