"Salsa Rosada is the second fast-casual venture from Mandy Estrella and Bradley Payne, the folks behind Mayo Ketchup, renowned for its Puerto Rican and Dominican cuisine. This new venture sets itself apart by focusing on Venezuelan and Colombian dishes, taking its name from the latter region’s version of mayo ketchup. Notable dishes include arepas (crispy corn patties stuffed with various fillings) and patacones (sandwiches made with flattened, twice-fried plantains instead of bread). The empanadas, sourced from St. Charles bakery Pan Pa’ Ti, are golden brown pockets of goodness available in both savory and sweet varieties. Don’t miss the kan-kan chuleta if it’s on special; the oversized pork chop is perfect for sharing, so consider bringing a friend or three to help tackle it. Joel Crespo" - Holly Fann
