CAFE CANELA – Mexican
A Venezuelan kitchen on West State Road 84 in Sunrise, open from half past seven in the morning and built around the arepa. Breakfast plates come loaded: the house Criollo pairs scrambled eggs with shredded beef, black beans, white cheese and vegetables, arepa alongside. Empanadas, cachitos, pastelitos, cachapas and tequenos fill the counter. Lunch turns to asado negro, pabellon, bistec, pork chops and chicken milanese, portions generous rather than dainty. Arepas arrive smothered in a zesty green sauce with queso fresco. Hallacas appear in season. Fresh fruit juices and Venezuelan coffee round it out. Family comfort food, priced for regulars.
