The team that opened Rayuela – the restaurant named after a novel by the Argentine author Julio Cortázar – has opened Macondo. The spot is named after the mytical Colombian town that is the setting for Gabriel García Márquez’s novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude.”

Rayuela means “hopscotch” and the food there jumps from one Latin-American country to the next, and then on to the restaurateur Héctor Sanz’s native Spain. Macondo is attempting the same thing with Spanish tapas and Latin-American street food. So Venezuelan arepas, flatbreads from Barcelona, and shaved ice from Puerto Rico all are on the menu, interpreted by chef Máximo Tejada.
