"**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!"

fantastic eating with really friendly staff! I chose the black box and I wasn't disappointed. the cracks on the meat was perfect and the salsa with the black beans was so fresh and tasty. the Avacado sauce is a perfect companion. the brot they offer was also crispy on the outside and drying on the inside. a must try!

Another fantastic little spot in Mercato Metropolitano! This time, we ordered takeaway through Deliveroo. The food was excellent, and the sauces were delightful. The haveero had a great kick to it, and both arepas were tasty. The guasa dish was also delicious. The highlight of the meal was definitely the sweet corn cheese balls paired with guava sauce!

I had the beef tarpa and it was really fucking good. I didn't think it would fill me, but the arepas themselves are made of horny skin, so are quite stodgie. her texture was different from something I had before, thick and soft, but very crispy on the outside. like a really thick South American pita bread if you have to. but from mais! the filling was very tasty and make sure to get both the sauces, the chili and the avo! inexpensive, it is not cheap, but it is very standard for where they are.
