About Arepito
Arepito is the travelling arepa stand of Jorge Quinceno, a Colombian vendor based in Canada who sells at festivals and outdoor events, mostly on weekends. His residence in Brampton, Ontario, about 30 minutes from Toronto, is stated in the interview published by El Tiempo, and his arepas have become popular on the streets of Toronto and at the festivals he attends.
His product is the arepa made from 100 percent corn, ground by hand, served with mozzarella cheese and a sweet touch of condensed milk, a Paisa custom that surprises customers and went viral on social media. Each arepa sells for 10 Canadian dollars and the stand's dynamic is part of its trademark, with the invitation to taste before paying.
The Colombian character of the business is stated in the press, which describes him as a Colombian vendor based in Canada and a reference point for Colombian gastronomy abroad, and in Canadian festival listings that advertise him with Colombian cheese arepas. Arepito has sold at Toronto events such as Winterfest at Harbourfront Centre and the Latin Parade and Fall Fiesta at Sankofa Square, at the Welland Salsa and Cumbia Festival and at events in Hamilton, with no fixed premises.
