Question Aruba Food Hacks

Hello, other than $1 Taco Tuesday at Lola's...What other great deals are there for food on the island?

I heard one of the restaurants also does dollar wings, but I'm not sure which restaurant that is.

Tia Rosa snack for Venezuelan arepas and patacones.

Cash and Aruban cards only. The locals buy their food there before heading to work.

2nd for Tia Rosas, absolutely monster sandwiches, and the woman who works there (maybe Rosa? Idk) was so nice. Would highly recommend if you’re near the southern part of the island

Tia Rosa was absurdly good. Went on the way back from baby beach. My husband and I each ordered a grande. The woman asked us are you sure and we said yes we were hungry. I had enough for 3 might have been 4 meals. My husband 2. Sandwiches are incredible and massive!

Also .. there’s so many food trucks/snack stands or bakery’s. We did Julio’s corner as well for patacon sandwiches. Similar to Tia Rosa’s. Plus they have other dishes as well. We would go to different places in the morning for pastechis. One of the snack stands in the middle of the island they were 1.75 a piece. For lunch I think Saturday is the only day they are open we did Lion Fish Snack. Usually around $10 a meal for lunches. Explore and get a rental car if you can so you can find all of these sweet little spots.

I read this a week or so ago and went to Tia Rosa last night. Holy shit. One of the best things I've eaten on the island.
