I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015…
SADLY, AREPA FACTORY IS NOW CLOSED.
For years, the very popular Caracas had the stronghold on Venezuelan snacks in the East Village. Recently Arepa Factory opened a few blocks away and gave the old stalwart a run-for-its-money. Their toasted corn cakes known as arepas come in a few interesting varieties like oatmeal, chia, and spinach. When they are stuffed with classic fillings like chicken avocado salad or creative ones like cconut lamb, they are absollutely incredible. Price: $7.75-$12.95
