Yaroa is a Dominican street food that originated in Santiago de los Caballeros. It is built from French fries, or a mash of a root vegetable or tuber such as plantain or yuca, layered with meat and then cheese. Beef, pork, chicken or a combination of meats is common, and toppings or condiments such as hot sauce, jalapeños, cilantro, mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard are often added. Vendors in food trucks sell it, and it is often eaten late at night by young revelers from a to-go container. The name comes from a neighborhood in Santiago; the dish was first served in El Ejido and later near the Monument of Santiago, at about 1999. It has been compared to poutine, salchipapa, loaded fries and cheese fries.
