You’ve probably walked by this unassuming, sky blue shop just off South Street and didn’t know everyone inside is having an incredible Venezuelan feast. It’s like you’ve been left out of the best inside joke in town. Bo Diaz baseball cards line the walls, Oscar D'León—aka, The King of Salsa—plays, while pairs on casual, early-in-the-game dates assess whether the way the other eats tostones is annoying. The six-bite empanadas and generously packed arepas are some of the best in Philly, and starting your meal with anything other than the crispy, cheese-stuffed tequeños would be a mistake right up there with getting a Phillies 2024 World Champions tattoo. But it’s the generously packed patacónes sandwiches that steal the show here (we’re partial to the pisao, stuffed with shredded chicken, gouda, crunchy mounds of cabbage, and spicy green mayo). Pair any with the chuggable cilantro limonade, dine in the narrow space with a couple of friends, or leave feeling included the inside joke—with a plantain sandwich in one hand and an arepa in the other.
