The family behind Perciosa is celebrating 30 years in the baking business. We checked out the amazing (and affordable) arepas, breads, pastries and cachapas.
Tequenos, empanadas and pasteles are just some of the fried snacks you can order at the counter.traces its origins to La Villa del Rosario, a small town in the Zulia state of Venezuela, where the Preciosa family opened its first bakery 30 years ago. Decades of baking and a couple of cross-country migrations later, it’s the same passed-down family recipes that are served in what is now Preciosa Bakery and Restaurant, a hidden-from-sight Venezuelan gem in Carrollton.
Preciosa is dressed quite festively on the inside, perhaps a nod to the family's recent 30-year anniversary in the baking business.We quickly devoured a classic meat empanada — a deep-fried pastry shell stuffed with Venezuelan-style shredded beef — and followed up with a couple of tequenos filled with stringy melted cheese wrapped in a coil of lightly fried bread dough.
Venezuelan hamburguesas, arepas and empanadas, among other things, are more fit for the hungry traveler. For $13, we enjoyed the cachapa, a sweet corn pancake stuffed generously with melted queso de mano and dressed in a mayonnaise-based sauce, all under a blanket of more shredded cheese. Or go for the Venezuelan arepa, a similarly-shaped cornmeal pancake that arrives at the table with your choice of meat, dressings, and, of course, more cheese.The Preciosa experience doesn’t end there.
