Event Details
About our Arepas!
Handmade white corn arepas are our signature item! Made from scratch with white corn. We cook whole white corn kernels until they're soft and then run them through a grinder to make a dough. We then form the dough into corn patties that we grill with a little bit of salt and butter (or olive oil). We then split the arepa and fill it with a variety of fillings including mozzarella cheese, roasted pork shoulder, beef with Colombian Creole sauce, or blackened chicken with chipotle mayo-we even have a vegan version with roasted vegetables and olive oil.
True comfort food!
Chef Nicolas Gomez was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia. He received his degree from Le Cordon Bleu in Orlando and has worked at some of the best restaurants in Tampa. He has over 16 years experience including banquet experience.
Owner/Operator Melinda Murray Gomez grew up in Central Illinois before moving to Tampa in 2006. She has over 12 years experience in the hospitality industry and is an aspiring Sommelier working towards Certification with the Court of Master Sommeliers.
Vamos! Gourmet has been a dream for us for a few years and we're excited to make that dream a reality!
