"Vegan" Arepas are NOT Vegan!! - Edit
Guasaca recently changed their menu to include a "vegan" option for their arepas, in addition to their vegetarian option. I spoke with 2 staff members about vegan (and gluten free) options and neither mentioned that there is dairy in the arepa(bread) itself. I ended up getting really sick after eating it, because I also happen to be lactose-intolerant (and gluten intolerant too). I went to their website and saw that the allergen info states both gluten and dairy are in the arepas. I tried emailing multiple locations and facebook messaging the company, with no response for over a month now. I ended up posting a negative review on their facebook page, which their marketing team answered.
Read moreApparently, they got so many complaints from gluten free/celiac people who got sick, that in mid-September 2019, they released a formal apology via social media. It stated that their staff was misinformed about allergens and everyone should go by the allergen information on the website, not by what the staff says. I asked their marketing team to inform them of the vegan issue as well.
That being said, if you still want to chance eating there, stick to the salads or rice bowls.

Pros: New "vegan" option on menu, Friendly staff
Cons: Arepas contain milk, Staff is not knowledgeable about vegan options.

This is accurate. After a long time of saying their arepas could be vegan, they now say that they aren’t and always contained dairy.

What about the "vegan" arepa that is separate on the menu? Is that one vegan? I would assume so as they have a white, yellow, and vegan?

It's possible they added one since I reviewed. It's been several years. I haven't been back since.
