Food: Flavors on a rollercoaster

Aro Latin's Esquites, Empanades De Pollo, and Baja Shrimp Tacos top the food charts with their unique, daring flavors. The creamy cheese on the Esquites, well-marinated chicken in the Empanades De Pollo, and flavorful Baja shrimp in the Tacos are commendable. Yet, the story isn't all smooth sailing - some flavors are bold hits; others are underwhelming misses.
