Arepas, at any hour, equate to Venezuelan comfort food, but they may taste best at 2 a.m. How do we know? This popular establishment, which began its life as a food truck, now has several permanent locations around town. The Universal-convenient shop isn't fancy, but it's clean and friendly and serves up white-corn goodness stuffed with your preferred array of meats, cheeses and vegetables. Prefer the sweet yellow corn of the cachapa? They've got these, too. And the carne mechada (think shredded pot roast) is tender and flavorful. Portions are generous, and this place won't break the bank, either.

- Late Night: "This place is juicy (meaning they have fresh-squeeze juice)! Try one of their fresh varieties."
- Best for Late Night Because: Arepas El Cacao is "fast" food, but it's not fast food. Delicioso!
