MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
Things are mighty cheery at this "casa," which should come as no surprise as its mission appears to bring the beauty and nature of Venezuela to NYC. Fittingly, the passionate and charming staff busy themselves guiding the hungry guests through a cluster of explosively flavorful dishes. A bar up front keeps the crowds abuzz; while the long, deep, and dark dining room is all mood.
Begin with arepitas full of chicken salad, queso blanco, shredded beef, pork, and curry mayo; or crispy mandocas with creamy and spreadable nata. Save room for the main act, also referred to as pollo, starring creamy rice, chorizo, fennel, red peppers, and a separate side of crisp buttermilk-fried chicken. Counter the carbs and call it a night with a light, bright coconut yogurt.
