"We salute you, Puyero. Most of the Venezuelan menu is gluten free thanks to the inclusion of corn or plantains in its outstanding arepas, patacones, and cachapas. Choose from the juicy, six-bite empanadas, crispy, cheese-stuffed tequeños, or a pisao stuffed with shredded chicken, gouda, and crunchy mounds of cabbage. Whatever you do, start with the cilantro lemonade, and be patient while your friend with dietary restrictions is flooded with indecision." - candis mclean
