Born in 2023, Rooted in Venezuela
Cassava brings the soulful flavors of Venezuela to Southwest Florida — every empanada, arepa, and cortadito made with the warmth of home.
Una bendición!!! Gluten-free options with the arepas and a new chia-flour cachapa. I have a gluten intolerance, and they were beautifully accommodating. Delicious 10/10
The empanadas are outstanding! Sooo delicious! Highly recommended. It’s family-owned and tended with much care and love.
I ordered the variety empanada pack, and I can't recommend it enough. Crispy and delicious, wonderful for a quick bite for a group.
