"This Venezuelan restaurant and coffee bar in Normandy Isle is run by native chefs Abraham Herrera and Angel di Frisco, who dish out a casual all-day menu of traditional fare such as empanadas, chicharrones (fried pork chunks), mandocas (deep-fried cornmeal ring), and cachapas (sweet corn pancakes). A variety of the country’s famed arepas are also on the menu, from a simple cheese filling to a shrimp and avocado version. The staples are complemented by American pub grub such as burgers, pastas, a chicken wings. To wash it down, there’s iced and hot coffee, smoothies, and juices such as mango and papelon con limon (traditional Venezuelan lime juice)." - Juliana Accioly, Olee Fowler
