On my last post, I propose to look and seek for Restaurants from other Cardinal point, from my Caribbean Latitute. I ask Google Map to look restaurants from countries of South America. We start the series with Argentina.Today we experience Venezuela food.
Once again, Goggle Map give more 10 places to choose for Venezuelan Food. So this time, I decide to go a Food Truck Park in Guaynabo City. About 28 minutes from my home, the food truck park is at the Las Cumbre road 199 in Guaynabo.
Attended by his owner, Oscar Martinez, born on the city of Cagua, Municipality of Aragua, Venezuela, his food truck “Restaurant” is named Papelon con Limon, is a great place to try one of the most selling Arepas Venelozanas.
Arepas Venelozanas are Grilled Corn patties, that can be filled with your choice of stuffing. The most traditional is the white cheese Arepa.
Here at Papelon con Limon, food truck, you can choose from a variety of style of Arepas.
After I ask , I learn that Arepas Venezolanas are more thick than the rest of Arepas made in Latin America. That help to easy cut on the middle to make the space for the filling.
I try some other Arepas beside the cheese Arepa. The corn flavor will be smoothed combined with the filling you choose. Great combination of flavor and textures. Your appetite will be satisfied.
Also I try, the Cachapas and the Empanadas. The Cachapas are also from Corn, and look like pancake, with a similar texture. And the Empanadas, also from corn, are a fritter texture filled with you choice of meat.
As I started this mission, of look and seek , flavor of other latitude, you and me will find out that there’s a lot of culinary options here in Puerto Rico. This is something that may take in consideration on your next travelling planification to the Island.
How about you? Do you have Restaurants from other countries near your area?
On the next post will be continue writing about the Restaurants, and food from my South Latituted.
Peru and Colombia are next.
Enjoy!
