Friendly staff and big windows, which make up for the tight seating. Oh, and the food is wonderful, too. Go for a date and split a couple arepas and sides, and grab a Venezuelan soda, too.
A little hidden gem on 18th st - a Venezuelan place with great arepas. Head over there for lunch and order one of their specials. It is quaint, inexpensive, quick and delicious. If you like really sweet beverages, order a Colita (venezuelan soda that is hard to find in the city).
