"There are a couple good reasons to go to this little North Miami spot for your hallaca fix. One, Dulce's hallaca is one of the best you’ll find in Miami. The mixture of chicken, beef, pork, and olives inside is deeply flavorful and never too dry. And the banana leaf wrapping job is secure enough that you won’t have to worry about it falling apart if you opt to cook it at home. But also, coming here means you have a great excuse to walk out with one of the best Venezuelan empanadas in town, which are fried to crispy perfection." - julia malave, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
