During my visit, I was particularly taken by the pulled pork arepa. The tenderness of the meat, harmonized with the crunchy exterior of the arepa, created a balanced bite that was both comforting and exhilarating. Additionally, the homemade sauces offered an extra zing that elevated each flavor to new heights.
