New Eatery Brings Latin Street Food to Shreveport
One of My Favorite Latin Street Foods is an Arepa. An arepa is a Latin street food popular in Venezuela and in Colombia. Think of an arepa as a really thick tortilla almost like flatbread made from ground maize dough. An arepa is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and what you fill it with really comes down to what region you're in. Mainly it's meat, eggs, beans, and cheese inside the arepa. Up until the arrival of Miami Latin Kitchen, there was nowhere to secure the delicious street food.
