Restaurants On a Latino jag

- Cachapa at Arepa Mia
It's a cornmeal pancake of sorts with a texture similar to a tamale. Owner/chef Lis Hernadez puts traditional Guayanés cheese atop the pancake along with a squirt of cilantro sauce. It was freakin' amazing. The cornmeal has a natural sweet flavor, and the cheese is slightly stringy and subtly salty like mozzarella. I added a considerable pool of a fiery pink hot sauce to the mix.
Cachapas are traditional street food in Venezuela and, according to Lis, can be topped with meats if desired. I suggest you go with friends, order an arepa each and a cachapa to share....

- Kimchi taco at TDS
TDS is, by the way, hosting a "piggy bank" dinner to benefit the Southern Foodways Alliance on July 15, 6:30-9:30 p.m. Cost is $75 per person. Says the announcement:" Guest chefs are Jason Alley, owner of the acclaimed Comfort and Pasture restaurants in Richmond, Va., and David Guas, owner of Bayou Bakery in Arlington, Va., and author of 'DamGoodSweet: Desserts to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth New Orleans Style."
Thursday night, I hit Mi Barrio for my usual chicken mole, while Wayne devoured a gigantic goblet of ceviche. Good all-around.
The chicken mole, I remind you, is not on the regular menu, but I've never found it unavailable. Oh, and the restaurant is screechingly friendly to kids.
