The food here is fantastic! I went with the arepa (Ropa Vieja Arepa to be exact) the first time I went here to get a feel for one of the signature dishes. While I would still absolutely recommend this option, I have since ventured onto the Steak Maduro and will have a really difficult time trying anything else and giving up the opportunity to eat this next time we go. My husband is a big advocate of anything Barroco offers with Chorizo. Overall, great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and amazing food.
