Taste of Venezuela

Jenn came to visit from DC! I took Johnny and Jenn to El Cocotero, a Venezuelan restaurant at 18th St., between 7th and 8th. It seemed appropriate since Jenn just blogged about Chavez, here.
I <3 El Cocotero! It's not the biggest restaurant (I wouldn't go with more than 3 other people), and it's always full, but the wait is never too long. The only annoying thing about El Cocotero is that it's really dark sometimes. It was hard to read the menu...but everything on the menu looks amazing. And everything I've tried so far has been amazing.



Arepas! So good. Corn bread stuffed with yummy things.


Yuca fries with garlic sauce. Nyum nyum.

Great sangria.

Rice to Riches!

Whenever I go to Soho, I make room for Rice to Riches.



Flavor: Surrender to Mango with Lime. Delicious. I also really like Stubborn Banana (perhaps because I AM a stubborn banana)
You can also get toppings like pound cake, graham crackers, jelly, and coconut granola...

Hillary came to visit from LA!
