Menchita's was such a sweet surprise the food felt like it was made with love seriously every bite was packed with flavor I had the empanadas and wow they were crispy outside and so juicy inside The place isn’t fancy but it has that homey vibe that makes you wanna stay longer Staff was super warm and welcoming like you’re part of the family Portions are generous prices are fair and the drinks were spot on Definitely coming back next time I’m in the area

On a Sunday, this backyard-style spot serves authentic Oaxacan barbacoa that tastes like it came from grandma’s kitchen. The down-to-earth vibe made it feel more like dinner at someone’s home than a restaurant. The flavors are deep and soulful, especially the barbacoa. Portions are generous and prices are fair. It’s a neighborhood gem

The food was terrific got the chicken in cream and empanadas. Lots of food and for a reasonable price. Only issue was the menu prices were hard to read and needed some clarification but definitely recommend
