In case you missed the news over the weekend, El Cocotero is now open at 749 Bergen Ave, serving lunch and dinner.

As previously reported, El Cocotero is a Venezuelan restaurant that recently decided to expand from their original location on W. 18th in Manhattan to a second location in McGinley Square. The restaurant offers a variety of specialties like their gluten-free arepas stuffed with a variety of fillings including a couple of vegetarian options.
