"Pica Pica in the Mission is where you go for arepas that hit the spot every time. While the interior might remind you of a fast-casual chain you'd find in an airport, the food here is better than anything you’ll find at SFO. There’s 10 different filling options to stuff your flatbreads with like savory shredded beef pabellón and crispy chicken and tofu. Get the sampler of mini arepas to try a few different options, or go for one full-size—just make sure to add the hot sauce and aioli. The entire kitchen is gluten-free, so order some crispy yuca fries and caramelized plantains while you’re at it." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
