Tia Rosa Snack in Aruba sells some of the most delicious local snacks such as pastechi's, krokets, and arepas. However, they are most famous for their Patacon sandwiches, which are seasoned plantains filled with tasty fillings and homemade sauces of your choice.

My favorite is the Valadora II, which is a patacon filled with chicken, white cheese, egg, ham, Gouda cheese, and sauces. They come in large and small sizes; the large can easily be split between two/three people.

I recommend grabbing some tasty snacks here in the morning and heading to Mangel Halto beach just around the corner to enjoy your meal.

Note: Tia Rosa Snack is open from 6 am to 1 pm and reopens from 6:30 pm to 12 am.
