It is made of a super delicious combination of caraotas negras (black beans), carne mechada (shredded beef), arroz blanco (white rice), and tajadas (fried plantains).
Even in the cheapest little restaurant Pabellon will be the principal dish of the day and it would be accompanied with arepas, which are the cornmeal staples that Venezuelans eat instead of bread.
Usually pabellon is served with a generous portion of delicious queso llanero o queso blanco grated over the black beans, which is white cheese that is make en los Llanos which are kind of farms in the rural area of the country, or a slice of avocado on the side.
If you want to eat it in a Venezuelan style, you might want to put a couple of teaspoons of sugar in the beans, it will be an awesome taste that you will never forget.

The combination of onions, sweet peppers, bell peppers and adobo (seasoning) and cumin, is the combination of ingrdients that the beef is cooked in, which are The real secret of any delicious pabellon and all this together is called Sofrito
Around the coast, in Choroni, or in Margarita, the Carne Mechada is often replaced with cazon (baby shark).
If you want to be exotic you will have to try the pabellon during the Catholic fasting period of Lent when you may find chiguire (large guinea-pig) meat in place of the beef.
We say back at home that Pabellon is actually the best dish in the world, not only because it is extremely rich in flavour; but because it is a very cheap dish. The only dangerous thing here is that the money you safe from eating it you will be spending it in new pants because I am pretty sure that you weight won’t be the same after you have tried it.
