Chef/Owner

Richard Mendoza

Richard arrived in the United States from Venezuela in 2000, after earning a scholarship to complete his education. After years of cooking Venezuelan food at home for friends, Richard launched a food truck, El Arepon, in 2017. The fresh, tropical flavors of South America quickly became popular in the Omaha food scene. To Richard’s delight, it’s become a place for people to meet and socialize, from South America to the Midwest. Richard is excited to welcome new and returning customers together at El Arepon’s second location at The Switch!
