Reina Pepiada

A delicacy worthy of a queen

The versatility of arepas is showcased in their countless fillings, with “Reina Pepiada” being one of the most popular recipes—created in honor of Susana Dujim, winner of the Miss World pageant in 1955. When Susana and her father visited Heriberto Álvarez’s restaurant, he prepared a special chicken and avocado arepa just for her, which was then named as “Reina Pepiada.
