| - I had heard really awesome reviews about this restaurant, including things about the different awards it has won for its menu items. Working downtown, I knew I had to try it, so I went one afternoon with a coworker. We went at the right time--there was no one in line when we got there, but the line was getting fairly long once we were leaving--about 1 pm. The limited seating is very close together, so be prepared to have someone listening in on your conversation and vice versa.
I had no idea what to get, and the guys working there were so great about making recommendations, explaining the menu/how things were cooked/the flavors, and didn't rush us on making a decision. The both of us ended up getting the arepas. I did not care for it AT ALL. There was way too much bread, or tortilla, whatever the shell is called. It was very dry, and didn't have flavors or seasoning the food other mexican fast casual restaurants, such as Chipotle.
I didn't care for it, and I really doubt I will be going again. The menu at the downtown location is somewhat different from the Lakewood Barroco, so its possible that I will check out that one in the future--but not any time soon.
