Bandera de Venezuela

/te-KE-nyo/

A dough stick filled with white cheese — Venezuela's most popular appetizer. In Venezuela no party is complete without tequeños: they're the first snack to disappear from the tray at any gathering.

Example

"I made tequeños for the party and they were gone in ten minutes."

"Where are the tequeños? I ate them all myself."

Regional synonyms:

A party or celebration with lots of music, dancing, and alcohol that doesn't stop until everyone collapses. It's the intense, go-all-night version of a fiesta common across Latin America.
