The Arepa features a crispy corn arepa with refried beans, Yucatan peninsula-inspired pulled pork, avocado salsa, cotija cheese, and spicy pickled red onion, served with tortilla chips. The dish offers a "symphony of flavors and textures," with the arepa being firm and corny, and the pork tender and flavorful. Even for someone not typically a fan of beans, the refried beans work well within the dish. A mild, pleasant spice hits at the end, adding just the right amount of kick without being overwhelming.

They appreciated that the arepas were made fresh and highlighted the avocado salsa and pickled onions. The reviewer highly recommended this item, emphasizing the consistent quality of Rancho Zocalo.
The Arepa de Cochinita Pibil is described as a flavorful dish, despite the arepa itself not being very fresh. The reviewer found it to be a bit spicy, but the avocado salsa helped balance the heat. They highly recommend the dish and found the meat to be very good, comparable to a Mexican restaurant rather than a theme park. They plan to get it multiple times this season. The reviewer rated the Arepa de Cochinita Pibil a 4 out of 5.
