I've been meaning to check out Caracas Arepa Bar for a long time and now that my friend's Elien, Fich, and Floor live in Brooklyn, I figured there was no better time to finally see what Caracas was all about. We were lucky enough to get a private table in the back of the restaurant's Brooklyn location, located near the Bedford Street stop on the L train -- again, perfect since Lauren and I were staying in the East Village by the L train.
I went with an order of the De Guasacaca, which came with guacamole and cheese. I really wish the photo I took came out well, becuase this arepa was pure heaven. Unfortunately it is horribly dark and not even worth posting here. For some great pictures and a description of arepas, check out the restaurant's description here. I've taken one picture from the restaurant's site below.
Regardless, I'm a huge guacamole fan now that I live in California, having never been a particularly big fan before moving to Cali. The arepa itself tasted great; it had a light crunch to it somewhat similar to a soft sandwich bread.
I will definitely be going back to Caracas next time I am in New York City. I've heard that the restaurant's East Village location is smaller and I'm excited to check it out!
Do you love it or do you love it?
