Arepas, empanadas, juices, and cocktails in a casual setting
"Mother and son team, Carmen and Leonardo, opened this amazing Venezuelan joint back in 2010, and it's been a godsend. From their delicious vegetariana arepa (avocado, salty guayanes cheese, sweet plantains & slice of tomato), pabellon criollo dish (shredded beef, white rice, black beans, fried sweet plantains, sprinkled with salty cheese), traditional tres en uno juice (beet, carrot, fresh-squeezed orange juice), to the star of the show: the COCADA (insanely delicious coconut milk shake). Guacuco is one of our favorites, not only for the food, but for the great soundtrack, and the warmth of the owners and staff." - WSDIA | WeShouldDoItAll
"For Venezuelan tostones, arepas, and empanadas, head to Guacaco. This neighborhood spot is best known for its incredibly creamy pink sauce, and it’s a great option for a casual weeknight dinner that involves a lot of fried dough. There’s a big bar in the middle, and once they switch up the lighting and turn some music on in the evenings, it’s a great place for groups to get a little loose on a weeknight with some frozen margs." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja
"For Venezuelan tostones, arepas, empanadas, and frozen margaritas in Bed-Stuy, head to Guacaco. This neighborhood spot best known for its incredibly creamy pink sauce, is a great option for a casual weeknight dinner that you actually want to remember after a few days go by. They’ve got some sidewalk tables set up where you can grab lunch, dinner, or brunch on weekends." - nikko duren

"At Arepera Guacuco, you’ll eat thick corn patties packed with fillings like pernil and pabellon (beef, cheese, beans, plantains) in a super casual environment. This is a family-run establishment, named after the beach where the owner’s mother was born—and that mother runs the kitchen." - neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah, willa moore
