The fish tacos are excellent and the Cuban sandwich is one of the best I've had. On an earlier visit we tried the Picada combo tapas platter (chicharron, chorizo, steak, toston and yuca) and unfortunately I really can't recommend it. Nothing wrong with it, each item was just kind of plain compared to the other menu items that have alot of diverse flavors &amp; fresh salad-y components. Overall though this is a great addition to my 'hood &amp; worth a trip out to Gahanna. And I agree the spicy cilantro sauce is definitely the way to go. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/el-arepazo-gahanna#post-430471 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:31:59 +0000 News 430471@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p><strong>Code section added for sidewalk dining</strong><br /> By Marla K.
