Pica Pica Maize Kitchen, which opened its first location at Oxbow Public Market in Napa a few years back, has taken over the the former Mi Lindo Yucatan space at 15th and Valencia and officially opened on Saturday. Their generously large and filling Venezuelan arepas and signature “maize’wiches” are almost enough for two meals, and certainly would make for a good dinner. Below, the full menu, which also includes empanadas, house-made sangria and six special sauces.
