Barroco

For an evening of arepas and a reasonable amount of turning up, stop by Barroco. Anyone who walks in after 5pm on a Friday or Saturday is greeted with a free tequila shot served in half a lime. There’s a lot to take in after the boozy welcome: multicolor Christmas lights, fake flower bushes, and Sharpie doodles all over the walls. Grab a table and chill on the covered patio, where you can down caipirinhas and snack on sweet plantains with queso. All the meat fillings are tasty, but any menu items stuffed with chorizo are top-tier. They close at 10pm, so keep the party going at club “Eating Takeout Flan In Bed.”
