VENEBITES #2 – Venezuelan
VeneBites brings made-to-order Venezuelan cooking to Tallahassee, and the arepa is the headliner — corn flour griddled to a crisp shell with a soft centre, gluten-free, stuffed however you like it. Beyond it runs a full street-food spread: empanadas, cachitos, tequeños, pastichos, sancocho and paella, plus Venezuelan sodas, juices and desserts like tres leches. Everything handcrafted, no preservatives. Diners consistently mention the size and flavour of the plates and how genuinely welcome the staff make them feel. Come hungry; leave planning the next visit.
