El Cocotero is a tiny restaurant that packs a lot of punch (vibe, flavor, staff and most of all food). This dim-lit Venezuelan spot even has a great vegetarian selection and is an affordable option in this often very expensive hood.
The attentive staff will answer all your questions and help guide you through the menu. Be sure to start (or end) with a cafe con leche. We also highly recommend the arepas but you can't go wrong with one of their salads or the basics Venezuelan breakfast served with a piece of delicious fried bread.
Don't just go for brunch...it's a unique date spot as well. El Cocotero is located at 228 W 18th St, between 7th Ave & 8th Ave.
