Awesome lunch spot behind La Bogaduita de Mima (big yellow building on Market; just walk around the side to the back. Its located in the building behind the restaurant, under the covered patio area). Arepas are South American street food; kinda like a sandwich but on a corn based thick tortilla type bread. Tons of options, and the servings are HUGE. We usually split but they reheat well if you have leftovers. Try the fresh juices too; they're delicous.
