I ordered their empanadas as I am passing through. They are close to I-95 so very convenient. A few years ago their empanadas dropped in taste quality but we tried them again and I am happy to report they have regained their great taste. Food has been good the few times I have ordered.

This place is a hidden gem. Food is real good, tasty and fresh. Servers are very polite and lovable. Must try fruit juice, fried fish and sausage.

Parking: They have parking lot

I love this place. Been coming here for years and the food is always great. Took a few coworkers so they could try it out. Ordered a few of the appetizers and our main dishes. This place NEVER disappoints!!!
