Arepa Venezuelan Kitchen

Let’s get one thing straight. Arepas are not the same as empanadas. Arepa Venezuelan Kitchen, however, makes both. Their empanadas are the perfect amount of crunchy and feature ooey, gooey, cheesy insides. (Or meat and veggies, if that’s what you prefer.)

Pick between three types empanadas at El Parche Colombiano. Each cost under $8 for three and come stuffed with either meat and potato, cheese and potato, or chicken and potato. While you’re at this spot, however, you’ll probably be tempted into ordering more off the menu.
