) this weekend. The spot will be open from 2-6 pm or until sold out, so get there early. Garzón writes, "This menu will represent the struggle of an immigrant growing up on tradition and adapting to life in the USA. It will have anything from ROPA VIEJA RICE BOWLS, PUERTO RICAN, DOMINICAN & MIAMI inspired SANDOS to LATE NITE GRILLED CHEESE POP UPS AND HUEVITOS CON WINNIES AND FLOUR TORTILLAS FOR BRUNCH." Sounds like a recipe for god-tier stoner snacks to me.
