Philadelphia, PA—Sample tasty bites from the menu and learn about the culture and customs! At this chill spot, Venezuelan-raised brothers offer arepas, plus fried plantain sandwiches and juices.
Simon A. Arends, Gil J. Arends, and Manuela Villasmil announce the grand opening of Puyero Venezuelan Flavor at 524 S. 4th Street in South Street Headhouse District. This casual Venezuelan street food concept specializes in quick-serve arepas, patacones, and other incredibly delicious food. Dishes pair perfectly with tropical specialty drinks made in-house that are sweet and perfect for Philadelphia's hot summer days. The dining room is fresh, colorful, and vibrant, with humorous sayings that make you laugh and music that makes you want to tap your feet. Grand opening festivities will include free giveaways between March 17-19th, including arepas, churros, and other signature Latin dishes.
Puyero is a family affair—designed and operated by brothers Simon and Gil, along with Gil's wife Manuela. This is the first restaurant for all three young new restaurant owners. The menu is designed by Claudia Zamora, a Venezuelan chef who is just as passionate about Venezuelan food and culture as Simon, Gil, and Manuela.
"We want to introduce rich flavors and combinations that people in Philly would never have thought of before," said one of the three partners, Simon Arends. "We also want to showcase who Venezuelans are and as one of the different stories from Latin America."
Puyero currently seats 22 people inside, with expanded seating coming outside later in the spring. Starting this Friday, Puyero will open every day (Tuesday through Sunday) at 11:30 am for lunch and stay open through dinner until 10:00 pm Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday and 11:00 pm Friday and Saturday. The entire menu is available during lunch and dinner - with brunch options to come later in the spring. Delivery is now being offered through Caviar. Parking for Puyero is available at meter spots along 4th and South streets or nearby parking lots in the District. The restaurant is within walking distance from Old City, Rittenhouse, Center City, South Philadelphia, and the waterfront.
Enjoy Arepa, patacones, tequeños, and other incredibly delicious food. Dip into the flavorful house-made sauces. Quench your thirst with four kinds of tropical house-made juices and beverages.
