Arepas
Food Stand, South American, $$$
Shuk Happenings | © Kaylee Volpert
Don’t let this little stand fool you, as the end of the queue can easily make its way towards the bottom of the shuk. After that first bite, however, it all makes sense. The must-have Arepa at this location is the Cachapa, a perfectly golden brown crispy pancake made from fresh corn dough, and stuffed with an huge amount of cheese similar to mozzarella. It’s so hot the cheese melts marvellously into beautifully long stringy bites. You might want to order two.
