The menu consists of what you would expect in a Latin inspired restaurant: Stuffed Arepas, Empanadas, Soups, as well as specials made with yucca and black beans. There are also several chicken, meat, seafood and pasta choices with the South American spices. Their specialties include Arepas, Pabellón (a traditional Venezuelan dish made with rice and beans and shredded beef in stew), and empanadas (a pastry that is stuffed and then fried). The best sellers are La Bandeja Paisa (Colombia), Pabellón Venezolano, and Cachapas. You will just have to come in to check them out. For those not familiar with Arepas, they are made with Arepa flour or large-kernelled corn that has large, starchy endosperms, making for a starchier flour than that which is used for tortillas and can be eaten as a side instead of bread or stuffed.
One of their secret weapons is Chef Luciano Garcia, who is also originally from Venezuela. Since he was a kid, the kitchen and the restaurant world called his attention. In 2008 he started going to cooking school in Venezuela, and in 2010 he received his certificate as an international chef. He owned a cooking school in his hometown of Barquisimeto, Venezuela and a restaurant of traditional food. In 2015, he closed both businesses and moved to the U.S. He’s been working in dif- ferent restaurants in Miami and Myrtle Beach until he came to La Vinotinto. The recipes were developed by Chef Luciano and influ- enced from friends during trips that he made to Cuba and Peru.
