The answer is Tanki Leendert, as it is now Aruba’s Arepa headquarters, with the Taste of Venezuela/Colombia, offered in a great number of snack bars and restaurants, as many as there are Hardware Stores in Noord. Antojitos Venezolanos Y Algo Mas, El Sabor Zuliano Restaurant & Bar, and Los Cafeteros, are all located within the same block, with Café Capri marketing itself as Colombia’s soccer club. I stopped at Delicias Zulianas for some Guava and Mango juice and got a full day’s supply of sugar in my drink. The patrons biting into the just-fried worm-like brown donuts, Mandocas, promised me they are the best in town, so I guess I have to go back. Other options, El Rincon de la Arepa and of course Mi Boca Dushi in Ponton, already a very popular breakfast place, are all excellent option for death by carbs and salt. I used to love the corn cachapa served in one of the previous incarnations of Zuliana, a slightly sweet flat bread, served with slightly salty gooey Mozzarella. Now that you know where to find a good arepa, where can I find a good cachapa?
