Critic's Review
After several new owners, the Cigar Bar next door bought the place and has expanded into the space. Paradera is no more.Review 6/4/12
Paradero quietly opened over the weekend, and if you didn't know they were opened you'd never be able to tell. They don't have a sign yet; half of Arjan's old sign is still in the window.They cleaned the place up a bit; Arjan's was always a real dump. Still not fine dining, but you could eat a sandwich here.
Paradero Orginal Inside
They have a pretty interesting menu, particularly for this part of town where BBQ is nowhere to be found. The house made chorizo sounded good; it comes with grilled onions and a mustard sauce.
Paradero Original Chorizo
For $6.95, it's not a huge sandwich. The chorizo is very smokey; not your usual store packaged sausage. I tried it without the mustard sauce first, and then dipped a piece of sausage in and tasted it. Good stuff. Good bread also.
Usually when you get a chorizo sandwich it's more like a hot dog; this is much different. It's better than anything you'd get at Arjan's, that's for sure. Good BBQ just off A1A. Who would have thought?

The sign has been taken down, so it appears that it's not going to be named Paradero anymore.

Paradero is under new ownership since the review.
