Under an elevated subway track in Queens, Victor José Hernández was whipping up
the pepitos that he had perfected at a street cart in Caracas, Venezuela.

Layering freshly grilled chicken and beef with a half-dozen other ingredients on
a split roll, he doused the heaping pile with homemade garlic sauce and grated
Cheddar cheese on top. Then he melted it with a blowtorch until it oozed.

The pepitos stand sprang up last winter on Roosevelt Avenue, a bustling
commercial corridor that runs alongside the Spanish-speaking communities of
Jackson Heights, Elmhurst and Corona. Just steps away, an Ecuadorean restaurant
now displays a big Venezuelan flag and offers karaoke with Venezuelan love
songs. And the line for arepas and cachapas (sweet corn cakes) spills out the
door of a Venezuelan cafe.
