Hi all, I would like to purchase Hallaca which is a Venezuelan food. Where can I find it in NYC?

    I’m sure it’s good but can anyone tell me what this tastes like, because raisins, capers, olives and bacon bits sounds pretty gnarly together

  2. In queens there’s a restaurant called arepas burger that tends to make them for the holidays.

    Call around to all venezuelan restaurants, some of them are bound to be selling them.

    Casa Ora in Williamsburg usually has them around Christmas. They’re pretty expensive, though. I think like $17 for one. My husband is from Venezuela and he really liked them.

    All these illegals from Venezuela & you’re having a hard time finding it lmfao.

    Someone just posted in my neighborhood FB group about an asylum-seeking neighbor who is selling hallacas. Can’t vouch for them but I’m happy to send you the info if you want to get in touch. They are $10 each and she is offering to drop off anywhere in the city.

  6. I believe ‘Arepas Cafe’ located in Astoria, Queens sells them during the holiday season. Not sure they are selling them as of now, call them beforehand.

  7. It is one of the best Venezuelan Christmas meals

    You could try looking for pastelles also, never seen them in stores only homemade

  10. Patacon Pisao on Essex has them for the holidays, $10 each

    The Trinidadian restaurants in Brooklyn or Queens. They are called “Pasteles” and are usually consumed during the Christmas holiday.
