Skewers anchor Sal & Pimenta’s approach to Latin American cooking inside the Garage Food Hall. The vendor takes its name from salt and pepper, but its stated range runs well beyond those basics, with meat, chicken, vegetarian, vegan and sweet skewers sharing the concept.
Diners repeatedly praise the seasoning of the beef and the friendly service. The beef picanha sandwich draws particular enthusiasm, while chimi-mayo and the shrimp and Alfredo fry baskets also earn mentions. Responses to the chicken and fries are less uniform: one diner found the chicken dry and the fries too salty, a useful counterpoint to the praise for the beef.
This is an inexpensive lunch or dinner option, with a listed price range of $10–$20 and a food-hall setting suited to groups. Sal & Pimenta is at 906 Carrollton Avenue, Suite 400. It opens daily at 11 a.m., closing at 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 p.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Takeout and delivery are offered; reservations are not.
