At Hola Arepa, we serve our take on Latin food and craft cocktails that are delicious, inventive, affordable, and always made from scratch. We specialize in Venezuelan-style arepas and street food from Latin America.
The décor, food & drinks at Hola Arepa are all designed to evoke nostalgia from peoples' travels. We want to recreate the ambience of bustling Latin cafes and bars in tropical places, where the vibe is friendly and lively, things aren't overly polished and perfect. We hope to give them an experience unlike any other they can get in Minneapolis and make it a special place for them.
The menu is created and crafted by Chef-Owner Christina Nguyen, who is a two-time James Beard Award finalist. The food at Hola Arepa is best described as Latin American food. Chef Christina pulls inspiration from South & Central American countries, different regions of Mexico, and sometimes Spain. Using Latin and Midwestern ingredients, the food at Hola Arepa is not authentic to a particular country, but many of the dishes that we make are based on traditional dishes from Latin America, with our own nuances added to them. Chef Christina and Hola Arepa have received numerous national and local awards, and positive press over the years.
