Alonso Roche, the chef and co-owner of the operation, will draw from memories of his Cuban grandfather, and of West Indies curry dishes, to create the flavors for the 50-seat space. An industrial interior design will also pay tribute to the kind of Caribbean street vendors who inspired the brothers' first venture, Bold Bite, and outdoor dining will be available on a 16-seat patio.
As I reported yesterday, the restaurant will also serve beer, with a list combining local and Latin choices. TacoArepa will be located at 4905 Fairmont Avenue.
I can't wait for Dyer's comparison test between TacoArepa and Taco Bell! (I predict that Dyer will chose the latter.)
ReplyDeleteBoom! There it is. Full details about Bethesda's latest restaurant.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it!
How did the county ever allow that wall built there with the mural? Dyer, do you think that wall hurts the openness and connectivity of the street?
ReplyDeleteThat wall is so bad. Right in the middle of the sidewalk.
DeleteWall was there before Bainbridge began construction and was done with a permit. It blocks the loading dock and garbage trucks and odors
ReplyDeleteYeah I think the wall was there before Bainbridge, so what was it's purpose before the loading dock was there? How could they permit that huge concrete wall? More examples of planning department failures.
DeleteThe rest of the block was planned to look like an alley. 3 loading docks and or garage entries. What the connectivity, To back of the house function?
