A place to grab cheap but fulfilling arepas overflowing with meat, vegetable, fruit, or chicken fillings as per your taste, topped with an assortment of cheese types. You can also treat yourself to the variety of traditional soups, all spicy, all hot, and all oh-so-tasty. Specials on the menu include the mondongo stew (prepared with beef, served with sliced vegetables), and the favorite dish of the Caraqueños, the pabellon criollo, a serving of beef rice, topped with black beans. The service is polite and efficient, but may be a bit slow. However, the food is definitely worth the waiting time!
