A new place from Spencer Rothschild, who helped open Calle Ocho and now owns Barrio on Park Slope’s Seventh Avenue, located in a former garage that’s gotten a tropical makeover via a glass-panel roof, French doors, a palm tree, and a 25-seat front patio. Partner-chef Adrian Leon, also of Barrio (before that he helped open Chicama and Pipa under Douglas Rodriguez and was chef at Rosa Mexicano), has created a menu of tapas-type dishes, arepas, oyster empanadas, and anticuchos — Peruvian skewers of homemade chorizo, chimichurri chicken, and the like. The tiki bar serves the usual mojitos and Pisco sours as well as a twelve-year-old rum martini and two-person “bonfire bowls” (proceed with caution).  — Daniel Maurer
