I purely stumbled into this place by accident after my car broke down across the street. After I got the car towed, I chose this location to get picked up by a Lyft driver. I was starving and had some time before getting picked up so I ordered an empanada. Beyond delicious! Came back the next day to try out some more empanadas. I'm about to recommend this place to everyone and bring some friends next time.Extremely friendly service as well!

Love this place. There aren’t many Puerto Rican restaurants in LA, but this one is hands down the best! Very authentic. The empanadas are amazing and so is the rice and penil. The Tembleque cheesecake is fire too!Parking: Usually plenty of parking spaces available.

Great food and huge portions. Don't be shy to try other items other than the empanadas.

Highly recommend this place! Made a quick stop here to charge our car and was met with friendly staff and very cute spot. We ordered the cubano and beef empanada. One of the best empanadas that I've ever tried. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely come back.

We were in the neighborhood in search of a flea market which was unfortunately closed. We saw this place on our way back home and decided to stop by and try. We were blown away by how tasty everything was and the service was amazing! I HIGHLY recommend you try their “La Jibarita” empanada. It was crazy good! And it comes with a delicious mango salsa! We also tried and loved their “Plato tipico” which comes with pulled pork, yellow rice, a salad, and fried sweet plantain. Can’t wait to come back to this place already!

If you haven’t tried these mouthwatering empanadas, you are missing out! Add that to the amazing customer service and you are in for a real treat. ?
If I could give 10 stars I would! I ordered the guava and cheese empanada, beef and cheese empanada, fried flan, and tembleque cheese cake. They were all very delicious, but my favorite is definitely the guava and cheese, it's soooooooo good!

Wow wow wow! I tried the beef and cheese and pulled pork empanadas and the dough was so crispy, light and full of flavor. The inside was equally delicious. Such a perfect combination. My order came with a small side chimichurri and it was so delicious. I'm not local but looking forward to making my way here soon.
Usually everything served at this restaurant is delicious but the other day my ham was greasy and clearly not fresh. I was disappointed because I love PR food :(
