They specialize in Venezuelan food . The arepas are good. The black beans are hearty and delicious. The churros come with a thick, dark and rich chocolate drink. Only metered street parking .

I like the churros . A bit pricey but still quite enjoyable. I tried the guava and it's a bit strange at first but gets better as I eat it.
