| - This was the first time that I have ever tried Venezuelan food so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. I went with a couple of friends, and we decided to order a couple of things to share since we wanted to try everything.
For appetizers we tried the Tequenos, which is basically a pastry filled with cheese. When you have a deep fried pastry and melted cheese you can't go wrong. We also had the Cassava and Guasacaca, which are deep fried cassava fries. The fries had texture similar to puff pastry and were really yummy. The avocado sauce that accompanies the fries was delicious. The 3 sauces that come with the food were great too. I loved the hot sauce, which is quiet hot.
The mains we had were the Arepas, which are grilled corn meal bread sandwiches with different fillings. We tried the Adobo Roasted Pork, Pabellon Arepa, and Carne Mechada. My favourite had to be the Pabellon Arepa, which has shredded flank steak, black beans, sweet plantain, and cheese.
For dessert we had the Alfajor, which is a cookie with caramel filling sprinkled with powdered sugar. The great thing about this is that they weren't too sweet, and small enough that you can still eat a dessert after all the other food.
The atmosphere in the place is casual and urban. I love the artwork on the walls; there are some cool necklaces showcased. It's a great place to chat with your friends and hangout and I would definitely go back and visit.
