LA CREMA FOOD & GRILL – Mexican
A Venezuelan kitchen that refuses to pick a lane. Arepas come stuffed with shredded beef, chicken or avocado salad; cachapas fold over soft white cheese; empanadas, mandocas and cheese sticks cover the picking. Then a whole grill section opens up, and pabellon criollo anchors the traditional side. First-timers usually start with the sampler. Yasmely and Natalio have run it as a family business for the better part of two decades, and the room reflects it — warm, loud, full of kids. Weekday lunch specials, happy hour after four.
