Order the reina pepieda arepa with chicken, avocado, and mayonnaise for $8.50, or smaller bites, like chicken empanadas and guava and cheese pastelitos, which run for $4.50 each and pack no less flavor." - Janna Karel

"It’s getting closer to dinnertime but you’re realizing it’s probably worth bumping your reservation. That’s because everyone is still full from lunch at Viva Las Arepas. This Venezuelan restaurant downtown specializes in arepas (all of which are around $10), and we’re big fans of getting a few empanadas and, well, really anything with the shredded beef. And before you leave, ask for a guava and cheese pastelito to go, because if you’re already pushing dinner back, you might as well get a snack." - edward thompson, gabe bergado
