"Hermosa’s dining scene has erupted in recent years, and one of the reasons is the delightful Venezuelan food at Rica Arepa. The signature with shredded chicken and beef, plus gouda, is a sweet and savory treat. There’s also a solid veggie option. The enclosed patio is comfortable in any season, allowing customers to peacefully sink into an empanada in a casual atmosphere. There’s a similar setup at the restaurant’s Lakeview location." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
