Latin Arepas, the business the Guerras launched in 2016 on a “beach cruiser” food truck, is near the rear of the bar.

The couple pumps out big flavors from the relatively small space that features a row of hot sauces — some of which will knock your face off.

The festive food is a delight for the eyes and the taste buds.

As the name implies, the restaurant specializes in ground corn maize arepas.

The sandwiches come stuffed with cheese, black beans, avocado and corn to zesty meats including chicken, beef and barbacoa.

Dishes can be personalized.

The rice bowl packed with jalapeno, avocado, corn, cilantro, onions, tomato, barbacoa, cheese and sour cream — and leveled up with hot sauce — is my personal favorite at $10.

Latin Arepas’ “tropical street food” menu enhances Bar Granada’s chill vibe.
