I tried the: ~ Shredded Beed Arepas - amazing, meat is juicy and full of flavor ~ Pulled pork arepas who doesn't love pork - with sliced tomatoes, avocado, pica pun, garlic aioli was WOW ~ Garlic yuca fries, very filling but must try Be sure to try the three sauces smoky(almost like a bbq sauce), the aioli and the hot orange sauce all three complemented the dishes. They also have Cachapas, sweet and savory corn pancake with delicious savory fillings. Venezuelan street fare is the forte of Pica Pica and it's all gluten-free. I've never tried Arepas which are corn pockets stuffed with savory fillings. This popped up on Yelp and I walked down Valencia street to find this cute, colorful and cozy place. I like the fact that this Pica Pica has a neighborhood feel to it and I am pleased to say that I now have had Venezuelan food and like it very much.I was walking around the Mission craving for papusas. The tables are a bit close together but this is common for most restaurants in SF. Our choice of arepas was varied - most of us had the grilled chicken. We ordered 2 orders of Yucca fries, and a pitcher of Sangria (one hold-out had a chardonnay) to start. It is recommended for first-timers that one starts with the classic white. Basically, if this is your first time, you have a choice between savory (classic white corn) or sweet (yellow corn) for your arepas.

Once seated, our waitress helped us navigate the menu. Be warned: The house hot sauce is addictive. One couple leaving whispered to me, "all is wonderful" and he made several recommendations. Pica Pica is extra spicy), then choose from sides like grilled corn on the cob, vegan three bean chili and a refreshing, cold wild rice salad. Hungry as we were, as we waited, we scoured the menu in anticipation. We were greeted upon arrival and decided to wait a bit for an upstairs table, which was worth the wait. (all but one of us had no experience with Venezuelan food). But I have to say this - the fact that the menu is gluten-free draws you in initially but the exposure to Venezuelan food will have you return. One member of our group had been to this Pica Pica before (with a gluten sensitive friend). We chose Pica Pica because one of our guests is gluten intolerant. Parking is a bear so if you need to drive to this location. at pica pica you can get a little bit of spicy, a little bit of sweet, some crunch and a lot of flavor so we encourage you to explore our menu. We arrived at Pica Pica on a Wednesday night after picking up family at the airport. Starting And Sharing for many, pica pica can be translated as a 'little bit of this, a little bit of that'. I had somewhat moderate expectations because I know this restaurant at this location is somewhat new.
