Somos Handcrafted Arepas- New Haven Menu

At Somos Handcrafted Arepas in New Haven, the menu is a vibrant celebration of Venezuelan and Nuevo Latino flavors, focusing on authentic, handcrafted dishes. The star is undoubtedly the arepa—corn pockets filled with hearty options like Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken with garlic aioli and pickled onions, or the classic Carne Mechada with queso amarillo. For those seeking plant-based choices, the vegan soy cheese and tofu sofrito options offer equal satisfaction. The cachapas, traditional semisweet corn pancakes, stand out as a must-try, especially with savory fillings like Pork Carnitas or Carne Mechada. Beyond arepas and cachapas, small plates such as Tequeños and Empanadas provide perfect bites to complement the meal. Sides like fried plantains, black beans, and rice add comforting, rich textures. The attention to fresh, natural ingredients and customizable toppings—paired with sauces like garlic aioli and guasaca—creates a harmonious balance of tastes that resonate deeply with fans of authentic Latin American cuisine.
