Lonely Planet review for Caracas Arepas Bar

Cram into this tiny joint and order a crispy, hot arepa (corn tortilla stuffed with veggies and meat) such as the Pepi Queen (chicken and avocado) or La Pelua (beef and cheddar). You can choose from 17 types of arepa (plus empanadas and daily specials like oxtail soup), served in baskets with a side of nata (sour cream) and fried plantains.

    A taste of Venezuela

    stefi81 recommends this,

    If you're up for a tasty snack, try and squeeze into Caracas Arepas Bar. This tiny joint in the East Village offers a wide range of tasty Venezuelan arepas and snacks such as tequenos (deep fried cheese sticks), fried sweet plantain and guasacaca (Venezuelan guacamole) & chips. Their jugos naturales (fresh juices) are an excellent refreshing option on the hot New York summer days. If you can't get a hold of one of the small tables, there's also a take out option.
