A poem about how delicious the Curry Chicken empanada was...

At Mola's, the night comes alive,
With curry chicken empanadas, a taste to revive.
Golden pockets, crispy and bold,
Packed with flavors, a joy to behold.

The aji verde sauce, a vibrant delight,
Its zest and spice made the flavors ignite.
Each bite a dance, rich and divine,
A culinary treasure, perfectly combined.

Absolutely delicious. I ordered this for my office's Town Hall, and the catering was very easy, communication was swift. Everything was totally devoured and almost everyone mentioned they'd like to see it again. Huge bonus for the gluten-free and vegan options. Highly recommend!

Outstanding Panamanian restaurant. My biggest recommendation is their empenadas, especially the curry chicken. The crust is flakey and golden. The filling has peppers, potatoes and chicken that is very well seasoned and packed full over flavor. The waitress was very knowledgable and friendly. Overall, the vibe was very chill and lowkey as a hole in the wall restaurant but you don't want to miss it!
