"**Round One – Tequeños (Deep-Fried Cheese Sticks)** This was perhaps the most exciting round, especially because we were presented with two distinctly different sauces. The first was Guasacaca’s signature sauce, made from avocado but with a lighter consistency perfect for dipping. The spicy cheese sticks paired with this sauce were a true savory delight! Then, we tried the plain cheese sticks with a sugar cane and orange sauce, transforming them into an indulgent sweet treat. I love how versatile and incredibly addictive these cheese sticks are! **Round Two – Yuca Frita (Cassava Fries with Guasacaca and Habanero Chili Sauce)** **Tostones (Crispy Plantain Cups Filled with Shredded Beef, Pico de Gallo, and Llanero Cheese)** All I can say is that these sides completely outshine the typical chips and salad! The cassava fries were remarkably thick—almost as hefty as a croquette rather than a chip—and they were wonderfully salty, leaving you wanting more. The tostones were beautifully crispy plantain cups filled with succulent beef and were absolutely delicious. **Round Three – Arepas (Stuffed Gluten-Free Corn Pockets)** We opted for the £16 selection, which includes four smaller arepas, allowing us to sample all the fillings! The options included shredded chicken, shredded beef, roasted pork leg, or the vegetarian choice of black beans, fried plantain, and llanero cheese. What I truly love about arepas is their crispy outer layer and fluffy inside. Each filling was bursting with flavor, making it easy to enjoy every last bite. As a Londoner, I feel compelled to promote Venezuelan cuisine. It deserves to be celebrated as much as Mexican, Thai, Indian, and other beloved global cuisines in the UK. With such a diverse menu overflowing with flavor, you’re sure to find something you’ll love!"
