The Venezuelan corn flatbreads, or arepas, that co-owners Igor and Beckie Panasewicz have made with care at their food truck of the same name (since 2011) and Avanti Food & Beverage stall (since 2015) are, of course, on the menu at their new brick-and-mortar restaurant in Platt Park. Our favorite is the La Havana, a take on a Cuban sandwich, in which slow-roasted pork loin, ham, and local Muenster are tucked into a split-and-griddled arepa, then drizzled with a creamy mayo-mustard-pickle “Havana” sauce.
