Description
Surely, theres no more cultured a substitute for a grilled cheese sanwich than a piping-hot arepa filled with juayanes, a handmade cheese.This endearing spot, with flower-patterned, vinyl-covered tables, zaps you straight to Caracas. The secret is in the arepas themselves: Each patty is made from scratch daily. The pitalike pockets are stuffedwith a choice of 18 fillings, like chicken and avocadoor mushrooms with tofu. Top off your snack with a cocada, a thick and creamy milk shake made with freshly grated coconut and cinnamon.
