Food Scene
This is a tiny Local Gem with limited outdoor and indoor seating and serves Home style Venezuelan Food sourced locally. Awesome Lunch, Dinner or Sunday Brunch. I love the Palmito Salad and Pepito-Mixo Sandwich - a mix of chicken and beef, peppers, onions and served on a terrific bread with plantain chips on the side. Can also request with out bread and they add a small salad. You can not go wrong with any of their salads - if super hungry, ask to add chicken breast - Delicious! Serves Wine and Beer, may be a wait to be seated, but say hello to Andre the owner! For dessert, love their very simple molten lava cake - not too sweet.
Visa is the only credit card they accept.

Interesting and busy American themed Tappas Food and very lively bar with a full liquor license. Almost always crowded with a fun crowd from 4:30 till closing. The crowd is typically loud and active. People from the area and those who Ubered there to be with friends because of Ken Oranger's growing list of restaurants in Boston, NYC and overseas.
If you want to sit outside - get someone to go before 4:30 to save a table.
