Where surf culture meets Venezuelan & South American street food

Arepas, Tunes, Tides & Tacos

Our Food

What are Arepas?

La Cha Cha Cabana brings Venezuelan arepas to the Gold Coast.

Arepas are traditional Venezuelan cornmeal pocket breads, handcrafted and grilled fresh daily, then filled with free-range chicken, overnight slow-cooked brisket, and vibrant house-made salsas.

Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, our food celebrates the vibrant Gold Coast lifestyle — beach days and the simple, important things in life: good food and time spent together. Made with simple ingredients and house-made, seed oil–free sauces, it’s food that makes you feel good.

Our Story

A Bit about our Journey From Venezuela to Australia .....

This is how we left beautiful Venezuela & how we arrived in amazing Australia.

It took a few years & and our small family sail boat was the place we called home. There where stretches of weeks at a time between destinations, where we wouldn't see any land on the horizon, only the HUGE blue ocean, so you could imagine how amazing it was when we landed on the shores of all the different places. We met amazing people who showed us their way of life, who taught us their way of preparing food, feeding their families and surviving saw some incredible & remote places accessible only by boat & surfed some epic waves which we had all to ourselves (a bit different to surfing on the Gold Coast) It definitely wasn't always smooth sailing, it was a Looooooooong, slow & AMAZING journey, the route was always changing just like the weather, we didnt have much but we had not each other. We learnt a lot about a lot not to mention how to fish & be creative with the limited amount of food we had and it sure was great to finally reach this amazing country Australia where life has changed quite a bit!
