Teote—short for "the ends of the earth"—Is not authentic Venezuelan food. It is instead a paint pot of various South American grilling traditions and Pacific Northwest sensibilities, leading to lovely concoctions. Teote bills itself as an areperia, after the Venezuelan corn cakes that accompany most of the plates on the menu. Flavor-packed grilled meats, Ten varieties of arepas—perfectly golden, with a crackling exterior and fluffy masa center—anchor the menu, alongside a cast of grilled chops and ribs, fried snacks, and family-style dinners.
