Ordered the Carnitas Super Burrito! It had a GOOD amount of carnitas in it, moist, great turn around time on a Saturday Afternoon, and just a great overall burrito!!! I'd definitely come back to try some of the other items on the menu.

They advertised as open on Yelp. I drove to them. Saw them drive away. Basics. Get your hours straight.

This food truck/kiosk is my favorite place to eat in Santa cruz. I have never had such a good arepa in my life!! My personal favorite order from there is called "Sifrina". The workers there are all so nice and great customer service.

The worst thing about leaving a review for Pana is seeing their photos then feeling like "I AM STARVING!" We love getting the Pana arepas at almost every Sharks home game at SAP Center in San Jose. Haven't tried every combination of ingredients & flavors yet, but we haven't chosen wrong yet! So fresh, so delicious, and every arepa is always so "neat-looking," until we dig in! In addition, we like to add a generous squirt of their sauces, too; they add another yummy dimension to each bite!German, his wife, and all the staff we have encountered are friendly and accommodating, yet very professional and hard-working.* Wishing Pana much continued success!♡♡♡

The food is amazing. I have been coming to the downtown location and have met the owner a couple of times. He is an amazing person and super friendly. You won't be disappointed. The pabellon Arepa is a must to eat. I love the food and the awesome customer service you get from the employees and the owner if you come across with him.
I love Pana!! It’s a hidden gem of the Central Coast. Serving up amazing Venezuelan food, the arepas are so good! If you’ve never tried an arepa you are missing out…
I recommend the Reina Pepiada (shredded chicken, avocados, and mayo) or El Tiburon (shrimp, mozzarella, avocado) and of course an order of delicious fried plantains!
I discovered the Pana Food Truck at the CSUMB campus (they are most often in Santa Cruz) and I was pleased to find that they have a location at the SAP Center in San Jose. Highly Recommend!

This is a must stop every time I'm in Santa Cruz. I always get the Sifrina with all the sauces!! If you haven't tried it you're missing out!

I can only say good things about Pana!! The quality and consistency of the arepas is on point. The flavors are delicious (I dream of the fried plantains). And the owner is so sweet. Definitely check it out if you have a chance!
The quality and flavor of the arepas is unmatched and consistent. My favorite is the Sfrina! A must with all 3 sauces. I have been going for years. Recently I brought two of my friends to Santa Cruz and they loved arepas, inspired them to try more Venezuelan food. If you're visiting Santa Cruz, you have to try Pana. And if you're a local and haven't, Pana is about to become your new favorite spot.

One of THE best food trucks that you're going to find here in the Santa Cruz area that pop up around town, on campus, and at markets. Their selection of arepas are fantastic. They have one fully vegan option which is their avocado, black beans, and plantains arepa. All for about $11 and are truly some of the best ingredients you can sandwich between two crispy doughs of goodness. Don't sleep on the veg options! Everything is made fresh to order and the staff are wonderful. They have a brick and mortar now at Abbott Square so whichever method you choose, definitely give Pana a try.

Tried my first Arepa from the Pana Food Truck probably a year ago, and their Arepas are chefs kiss!! I'd eat one for lunch or dinner everyday if I could afford it Also the service is always impeccable. 110% recommend

Arepas are amazing! The flavors are sooo good. We loved the plantains and the sauces are to die for. We gobbled it up so fast we didn't get a picture. Next time
