Our Food
Where the Caribbean meets South America
Pica Pica tastes different than most Latin American foods. Our vibrant, bold flavors come from a blend of Caribbean and South American ingredients that we slow-cook to bring out layers of sweet, savory and spicy flavors.
Family recipes made from scratch
Some of our dishes have more than 60 ingredients and take up to 48 hours to prepare. Everything is made from scratch using fresh ingredients – the way our family has cooked for generations.
Well seasoned, sometimes hot!
Sweet
Corn, coconut, mango, plantains, passion fruit
Savory
Cumin, bay leaves, lime & orange juice, smoky sweet peppers
Spicy
Cilantro, garlic, mustard seeds, hot peppers.
The Menu
Bold moves with classic Venezuelan dishes
We’re having fun creating new ways for you to enjoy the flavors of Venezuela, from layers of slow-cooked savory fillings in our arepas, to taro chip nachos and our original Pica’pun spicy sauce.
Our main dish is the AREPA, which we like to describe as Venezuela in a pocket:
Arepas: crispy, grilled corn pockets you eat with your hands.
Cachapas: sweet corn crepes served on a plate.
Both are made fresh daily and stuffed with layers of our savory fillings.
