We arrived at 6p and after having a look at all the food options, we decided to order from El Kiosquito. The lady at the serving counter was warm and welcoming. We asked her and the gentleman which two empanada flavors are their best selling and both of them said the steak and beef. So we got two of each. They were super helpful with the entree items too, even letting us sample some of them. The roasted pork was INCREDIBLE and I knew I had to have that for dinner. Finished it with yellow rice and peas with beans, and the yuka. And oh. My. GOD. The best meal I've had in months, I promise!! As if we needed anymore....we ended up trying their piña colada and whoa!!! Most piña coladas taste like tanning oil but this one was made with high quality, real ingredients and you could tell from the first sip. We have definitely found a new favorite!!!

My friend and I each had two pupusas and split a side of plantains (platanos) for lunch. Probably didn't need all that food, but I ate every bite. Super tasty!

Was confused for a bit since it looked like a storage spot now. So just go to the enterance next to it. It's a small little mart and there's a doorway that leads to the sit down section. Guess they are use to people who've been there and people who know what they want. Asked me right off the bat what I wanted to order when there's no menu of any sort anywhere. I ordered three pupusas: revueltas, pollo con queso, and chorizo con queso to go. Was told 30-45 mins, got it in 30. Came with a baggie of their slaw and dip. Delicious, all three of them. Had good amount of filling in all of them. Definitely, coming here again

Very sadly, I just saw that the two other locations are closing immediately, just 1 day after our Valentine's Day dinner at the Larchmere location - now officially, the only one left standing. The Lakewood Barroco was in my top 5 favorite restaurants in all of Cleveland and I am super bummed. I hope this last location will stay open for a very long time. As for the Barroco food, it was superb. We went all out and tried a few things on the menu. We aren't big drinkers but I sipped on a strawberry mojito with lots of real strawberries throughout ($14) and my bf enjoyed the "Iguana," a pretty little rum cocktail ($12). We shared the shrimp device and tostones appetizer ($18). The tostones reminded me of a structurally sound latke, or potato pancake! Our shrimp ceviche was doused in lemon juice and mixed with lots of healthy vegetables. This was large enough to be an entree for a healthy eater! However, we still had lots of room in our tummies and we each got our own main dish. I stuck to the arepa and yucca fries combo I love so much, although I switched it up and ordered a different arepa than my usual. I liked my "Ropa Vieja," or braised beef arepa ($22), fine but I prefer my usual pulled pork arepa much much more. The braised beef arepa was like a sloppy Joe in an arepa. Made for pretty good leftovers though! My beloved was feeling adventurous and treated himself to a nice and fatty cut of the Carne Asada and Calentado entree ($38). After tax and tip, our bill was a hefty $130 for the two of us. I'd say that the food, the service, and the ambiance made it worth it though and I hope it continues to stay open so we can come back!!

The churrasco was also an incredible plate (more than enough food for 2 people!) personal highlight was definitely the house pickles; it's bright and vinegary and tastes good with EVERYTHING.

Last Friday night we visited Paloma for the first time. We made a reservation on Open Table (which…read moreworked well), hoping to land a table on the patio. Alas, when we arrived at 5:50pm (for our 6 pm reservation), the patio was full, and so, after some back-and-forth about wanting a table in the dining room and not a high-top at the bar, we were seated. The vibe was odd, perhaps because we were the only ones in the seating area but also because of the decor, layout, and furniture: not quite fancy, not quite charming. Rather than warmth and graciousness, I felt like we were imposing on the team by showing up for dinner. Undaunted, we pressed on. Shortly, we were greeted by a friendly team member who answered some questions. We eventually ordered the made-to-order guac and margaritas. The guac was the highlight of the evening. It was fresh, generous, and well-presented. The margaritas were also good. No complaints! Next, we placed our order: meat tacos for me, a burrito dish for my wife, and a shared order of the corn dish. The orders came in good time, all except for the corn. When we asked about it, the reply was "oh, so you'd like to add corn?" "No!" I said. "We'll just take the one we already ordered!!" During this light-hearted exchange, we were also promised an additional side of chips to go with the abundant guac. "Three minutes" was the reply. Never came. The entrees were universally too spicy. I love spicy food, but this level of spice obliterates what I think was a really lovely set of dishes. My wife and I both struggled to get through it because of the heat. Sadly, the team's stinginess with refilling water only added to the spice experience. The makeup corn order was promised "in three minutes" and did arrive in five or six. It's a lovely companion dish, even though timing caused an odd imbalance of food temps. When it was time to settle up, our team member told us she would package up the leftovers and would be back "in three minutes with the bill" because she was also tending the patio. By then, I asked, "is that three minutes or fifteen?!" She returned promptly; we paid the bill and headed to the VAD courtyard for live music. Bottom line: great location and intriguing concept. Something is amiss with the training and team support. As for the food, only the guac and margarita would draw me back.
