"Santa Monica's Café Bolivar specializes in breakfast arepas. These corn masa cakes are subtly sweet, dense, and stuffed with things like meat, cheese, and creamy avocado. Our favorite is the pulled pork: golden masa filled with pork shoulder that's been slow-cooked for nine hours in a tomato-based sauce, seasoned with Caribbean spices, and topped off with cilantro and pickled red onions. Arepas come two per order and go great with a double shot of espresso mixed with condensed milk." - sylvio martins
