Can I just to a huge shout out to Chellas catering?!?! They did our wedding with their truck at a local venue. We love their food but we didn't know that they also have special menu items available like drinks and apps. We were completely blown away by the custom appetizers they did for us. They did shrimp and pork belly skewers that are not normally on the menu, so it felt super accommodating that they were willing to fit our style. Loved having them as part of our special day, easy to work with and food that everyone couldn't stop talking about! Pc. My MIL who is obsessed with them now, lol

It would be easy to overlook Chellas Arepa Kitchen as you zip by above on Route 30 or get caught up in the shopping traffic around the Costco that sits across the street. Don't just drive by!! My wife and I were out and have been wanting to try this. There was only a small line of people and the wait beside the fire was welcome on a brisk December day.

Our food was amazing. We weren't sure what to get and when we asked about the menu we were told what they recommend with it but of course you can get it the way you want it. The service was great. The music playing gets you in the mood to eat Peruvian food and it completes the ambiance. We got a vegetarian bowl and a steak bowl. Everything was delicious and the portions are large. The chimichurri sauce is so fresh. It is made to order so they cater to your needs. It is a must place to eat in Lancaster.

Phenomenal!! We sat at the outside picnic table and got the Lomo arepa, Yuka fries, and the corn side. Omg - everything was so delicious, the guys cooking were very quick and friendly, will definitely be back!! The corn was a last second decision and I will never not order it, wow so delicious. The flavors were amazing, steak delicious and the sides of sauces were perfect addition. The chimichurri sauce is I could eat everyday!

What a spot! We visit Lancaster County every couple years and love our regular spots but they become repetitive. We saw Chellas with a 4.9 Yelp rating and had to try! We loved that they were outdoors and dog friendly. Tucked behind a Costco lot you'll find the little Chellas food truck but they're pumping out some big eats. These servings were huge! We both got the Arepas and were blown away by how flavorful everything was. Absolute perfection! We tried the guac, plantains and yuca fries which were all tasty. The guac was heavy on the lime with homemade chips. Everything paired perfectly with a cold bottle of Jarritos! Definitely a must try if you're nearby!!!

It was an unexpected hidden gem in Lancaster PA. The arepa was STUFFED with filling and super flavorful. I ordered it to go and it sat for a while before I could eat it but don't let the picture fool you. It was delicious!! I recommend trying the Pernil Arepa and the Brussels sprouts. You won't be disappointed.

This place is delicious!!! Family of four ordered online and picked up when we arrived to eat in the car in the rain. We don't generally like arepas in this house but their arepas were delicious. My 10 year old who complains constantly about his food scarfed down an entire plate of pernil rice and beans and was so happy. My daughter stole our chicken arepa and handed over her chicken and beloved rice and beans! Delicious sauces too! Chimichurri was so fresh and full of greens! And can't forget the Brussels sprouts. My husband doesn't like vegetables and that was his favorite thing!! Prices were reasonable, food was great!

I was incredibly curious to why this place was rated so high both locally and nationally. I gotta say; super surprised! The food is simple and delicious. Everything is just good; nothing super fancy or expensive; it's just good food. The seats are outside only (for now; heard they got themselves a building) so going on a nice day is important. They have their own parking and seating but it does get crowded. The service is fast; you just walk up and order and 5 min (esp for takeout). The lomo arepa has a lot more pulled pork inside than it looks; the OG everyone raves about Pernil Arepa was ok in my opinion. Yuca fries are a must. Warning; you'll eat 4 pieces and feel like you ate a whole thing of fries; so filling. Come through and try one of the pride and joy of Lancaster!

Stationary food truck surrounded by lots of picnic tables, serving up a small variety of very high-quality arepas I opted for a steak arepa while my GF opted for a chicken. Both were packed full of high quality meat. In-fact, there was so much that I couldn't even pick mine up. This being said, the steak arepa had a lot more flavor than the chicken (which was fairly dry) The arepas came with 2 different sauces, but one sauce didn't have the most flavor and the other was extremely spicy. It took about 15 minutes for our food to be prepared, but the people were very friendly Porta-potty on sight

I always wanted to try this area. Passed by this place so many times in the past. It is right next to Costco and a Tesla charger. We stopped by and they have their own parking lot so don't worry and turn in. It doesn't look like much on the outside but they have a lot of staff working inside this small location. Seating area outside, but when it is over 100 degrees, it's hard to justify sitting outside. We actually took the food to Sheetz and ate because of my delicate skin. I got two arepas and one bowl. The bowl has a good amount of food and it just felt more worth it than any chipotle. The arepas can be messy to eat, but just treat it like a bowl. The food.... Is amazingly strong in flavor. I missed the impact of food after coming back overseas. It really got me excited to eat out again. The flavor and textures of the yucca were superb and it blended in nicely with the sauce and chimichurri. Definitely a memorable spot if you are in Lancaster or just passing by.
