La Caraquena restaurant in Falls Church closed. Why?????

[Anonymous]

Anyone know why? The articles I read give no reason. I loved that place!

Darn. Loved that place.

FCC and Arlington should have a contest to see which can become more totally generic the quickest.

I need as moment of silence to remember the arepa with avocado chicken salad and the yucca fries. If anyone hears of him opening a new place or becoming the chef elsewhere, please post!

OMG we LOVED that place. My husband speculates that the property is probably being redeveloped.

They are probably going to tear down that entire complex and put up apartments.

Try Arepa Pues in Silver Spring.

When U was there in 2015 the server said they were planning to move to a bigger place.

Supposedly the place was in disrepair and the owners of the space refused to fix it. I wish they found somewhere else!

Anyone know where the chef/owner is now? That food was amazing! Just tried looking him up and found this old thread.

Ah man, blast from the past. I got to eat there exactly once and it was amazing. Next thing I knew it closed.

This place has been closed for years, why are you bringing up the thread again?

Because it was really good and I'd like to find the chef to frequent whatever restaurant he's at now.
