Aroma Gastro Bar was our pick for our February girls’ monthly meetup.
We made reservations, and when we arrived, there was a 90th birthday party taking place. We weren’t aware of the event beforehand, so we were seated near the bar area. There were about 9–10 barstools, and a DJ was playing Latin music, which definitely added energy to the space. We decided to stay, order drinks, and make the best of it.
For appetizers, Margarita and I shared the Mongolian beef empanadas (pictured below). I’d rate them a 4 out of 5. They were flavorful and came as two empanadas cut in half for $15. While they were tasty, I personally felt the portion size didn’t quite justify the price.
For my entrée, I ordered the special of the day the fried chicken. It came with white rice, beans, a small salad with avocado slices, and the fried chicken. As you can see in the photo, the plate was well presented and very satisfying. The chicken was well-seasoned and enjoyable overall.
The atmosphere is cute and aesthetically pleasing inside. There’s also a fun photo-op sign near the entrance, which is perfect for pictures.
Overall, I’d rate Aroma Gastro Bar a 4 out of 5. Would I return? Yes, but most likely for happy hour next time.
