Los fritos de Dora Details PleaseOpen 6 AM to 8 PM daily.Need to KnowWe're not sure how you choose but we'd say go with the beef empanadas and the arepa de juevo when visiting this 65-year old eatery.What Our Friends Are SayingEATER: "Every visitor to Cartagena should taste fritos Cartageneros (traditional fried snacks), and there’s no better place than Plaza de San Diego. Dora Gaviria began offering her famous fritos from a street cart in the square 57 years ago. Today she has mostly handed off frying duty to her son Jorge Luis del Valle and three granddaughters, Andry Paola, Anyela Juliana, and Dora Viviana Ríos. Locals still line up for carimañolas (fried cassava stuffed with meat and vegetables), chicken or beef empanadas, and the iconic arepa de huevo, an arepa stuffed with a combination of egg, meat, chorizo, and/or cheese. Stop by from 5 p.m. to midnight, and be sure to pair your order with a tropical juice or local soda."
