What's good at Orinoco?

Going to be eating at Orinoco within the next few days, any suggestions for what's really good? Also, preferences between Brookline/South End locations?

    I would also recommend the dates and the Arepa with the fresh cheese

      I've only been to the South End location, but recommend the Palmito salad (a way to get some of those aforementioned datiles while pretending to be restrained about it), the Pabellón Criollo (shredded beef) and the Torta Fluida (molten chocolate cake -- to make up for choosing the salad).

        Second the dates. If you go to the Brookline location try the Cranberry mojito. I'm still trying to recreate that one at home!

          I liked the Mechada Arepa: Venezuelan-style stewed shredded beef...$5.95 w/lime dipping sauce at the Brookline location. You'll need lots of napkins

            The bacon wrapped dates are really good.
