Venezuelan brunch
@ La Casa De Pedro
"Pedro’s hot sauce is the best I’ve had in town. It’s spicy, but still has flavor and doesn’t sear your palate. Their brunch has live music, outdoor seating, great white sangria and massive plates. You can pretty much find me there every Sunday sitting at the bar with my girlfriend. "
