"So many options, all of them delicious. Venezuelan street food specialist Cachapas y Mas does patacones, arepas, yoyos, pepitos, and, yes, cachapas as well. They all come with your choice of filling, which means you can get some shredded beef in a sweet corn cake, pollo asado sandwiched between smashed plantains, or chorizo and fried cheese on a hoagie-like roll. Order at the counter, then grab a table inside or on the sidewalk patio and enjoy your over-the-top meal." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman

"If you don’t like options, avoid Cachapas y Mas, where the Venezuelan street food is varied, customizable, and uniformly delicious. At this Ridgewood counter-service restaurant—which has another location in Inwood—you can get cachapas, patacones, arepas, and Venezuelan-style burritos packed with your choice of filling. Try some shredded beef bookended by smashed plantains, or enjoy a sweet griddled cachapa stuffed with pernil and four kinds of cheese. Depending on how wild you get with the extras and add-ons, the food can seem cartoonishly excessive, so prepare to unhinge your jaw like Scooby Doo. There are a couple of tables inside, in addition to some sidewalk seating that’s great for a quick, casual, warm-weather meal. photo credit: Cachapas y Mas" - Bryan Kim
"A Ridgewood staple for almost a decade, Cachapas y Mas presents a grab bag of Caracas-style street sandwiches, which come in the form of the titular cachapas. The same fillings are also sold in between thick patacones, the buns of a pepito, or inside a tacucho, an arepa, or a yoyo. For something bigger, order a maracucha: a maximalist burger made of at least four kinds of meat." - Andrew Karpan
