"Arepa Dealers ATX is a food service launched by co-owners Anissa del Rosario Schiek and Jose Tomas Garcia. They offer colorful arepa meal kits made with Venezuelan and Filipino influences. The arepas are available for pickup and delivery in Austin. The couple initially started with pop-ups but shifted to meal kits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their arepas include options like the vegetarian pachamama, the Venezuelan beef mechada, and the Filipino-inspired carnitas. They also sell puto Filipino, a sweet steamed rice cake. Arepa Dealers uses vegetable juices to color their gluten-free breads. The service offers 'survival' meal kits that provide multiple meals, and they are planning to open a stand at the Texas Farmers Market at Mueller and eventually expand into grocery stores and possibly a physical restaurant." - Nadia Chaudhury
