The empanadas overall are quite good. Some are definitely better, while others are more average. They’re large, flavorful, and a reliable take out option. There isn’t much ambience in the establishment itself, so I haven’t dined in. The food is always ready on time.

My first time. I ordered Turkey sandwich ( with American cheese) and chicken empanada. I waited for 36 minutes for my sandwich and the order was wrong and the empanada was over cooked “really hard”. Ended up throwing them in the trash, having no lunch and waste my money. Really hoping next time it’ll be better.

Got a Cuban sandwich to take home. It was delicious! Plate in photo is 8 inches so you have an idea of how big the sandwich was. A large order of huge tasty French fries was included. Price was reasonable for a very good value for the size and quality.

Delicious! And the portions are huge for the reasonable prices. But the non-prepared food is slow - I waited over 30 minutes for my my patacón (luckily I had an empanada to snack on). If you’re in a rush just stick to the empanadas or other stuff on the counter.

The food was decent, empanadas are a large size. The staff are nice and helpful however know very limited English and pulled out a translator app to speak with me which is not an acceptable way to run a business, especially because this area is not predominantly spanish-speaking. I do appreciate their big selection of vegetarian options!

The empanadas are very tasty, the girl that works in the front is very sweet and accommodating, but the restaurant needs more organization, for example empanadas are not labeled, there is not a printed menu or Qr code that you can get a quick look while you’re in line, also they don’t have ticket in the kitchen or for the other person so they get confused with the orders, sometimes they don’t know which empanadas are they serving so frequently you can see they make little holes to check which one is which . they need a bar with a lot of chairs, only 4 tables in the restaurant. I hope they can improve because they have the flavor and the service just little stuffs that needs to be set up

Passion fruit and sapote smoothie were excellent. The dominicano was delicious and the empanadas were delightful customer service was great . Have been back like 5 times in the past two weeks.

Excellent empanadas! They have a nice select of large empanadas available for both immediately and for made to order. They also have a decent selection of deserts like tres leches.
