Viva Mi Arepa
617-323-7844
Viva Mi Arepa is one of West Roxbury's best-kept secrets, tucked beneath a modest blue awning at Washington & Grove. Best known for its home cooked Venezuelan cuisine (though it borrows from other countries here and there), the restaurant has a delightfully authentic feel, similar to the South End's Miami Kitchen. This isn't for the air-conditioning-and-table-service crowd, but the food is uncommonly delicious.
