Today we met some friends that are moving to SC this weekend. Jamie is a Food Network junkie like some of us. So, we ended up at Valencia Luncheria which was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dive. Pictures of arepas, enpanadas and ceviche are above. Everything was great. Took a menu with us as it may become a new takey outy spot for us. Pics are by cell phone, forgot the good camera.
For DC, here is the play by play. Top pic is a sliced pork arepa which Mrs. had, she really liked it. She even added some cilantro sauce to it.
Next is a ceviche which had a nice note of orange. Quite tasty.
Last pic is a carne machada arepa and a chipotle pork empanada. Both could have used more spice but both the beef and pork were tender and moist. There was a nice fresh made chipotle sauce on the table which I did add. Also had a bowl of rice and beans, also good. The corn cake was moist and not too soft.
With the fame of DDD comes the crowd. It is a tiny place with maybe 7 tables. Lots of people getting take out and all the tables were full the entire time. Will definately go on the list for takeout.
Later,
JH
