The best Venezuelan Food in all of NYC. I have been a loyal customer for about 2 years now and I can’t get enough!!! Starting off with refreshing passion fruit juice, then Tequeños which are 10/10 with the delicious green salsa and the Pabellón Arepa is to die for. Andrés was super nice and helpful while I was ordering. Overall one of my favorite places to get delicious food. If you are anywhere near Bedford Ave this place is a MUST!!! - Meara Ocampo
