El Cocotera












This little Argentinian cafe is located in NYC's Chelsea at 228 West 18th Street. It's small, but cozy and part of the kitchen is open so you watch several of the dishes and drinks being prepared. It's inexpensive and serves good food.
"A" had the Tostadas Con Guasaca A Crema De Caraotas Negras - arepa chips with guasaca (venezuelan guacamole) and I had the Yuca Frita Con Nata Y Guasacaca - crispy cassava with venezuelan sour cream and guacamole (each $5.95).
We both ordered a Patacones Maracuchos (Crispy Green Plantain Sandwich) - each $8.95.
"A" had the Jamon Y Queso - virginia style ham, swiss cheese, mayo, lettuce and tomatoes and I had the Pernil - roasted pork, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes.
To drink "A" had Papelon Con Limon - brown sugar-infused homemade limeade and I had Mango Juice (each $4.00).
Unfortunately, both of us were too full to order any dessert (Postres).
