Tu Cachapa 8.1
Washington Heights (North)
Vibes: Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Comfort Food Classics Late Night Legends Hidden Gems Heaven
Tu Cachapa is a compact Venezuelan counter on Broadway specializing in cachapas, arepas, and late-night comfort food. It leans casual and crowded rather than polished, but for corn cakes loaded with cheese or meat and quick griddled snacks after 10pm, it’s one of the strongest budget choices in the zip.
Must-Try Dishes: Cachapas (Fresh Corn Cakes), Roast Pork Arepa, Cheese Sticks
