I was the only customer in restaurant at 530 pm on a Thursday. One employee and me. There's a bar inside also but no liquor license. Food's okay.

The empanada lady has absolutely the best Caribbean and local food on the island! The jerk chicken Will absolutely blow your mind! Pulled pork sandwich, the fish plate, the rainbow salad, and the Fried empanadas Will absolutely change your outlook on the world and give you newfound faith in your fellow man! It's absolutely that good!
Besides the incredible food they have some of the absolute best live music and jazz musicians that come to play in the evenings. The owner’s daughter is extremely talented and has incredible musical friends by surprise

Found this cozy and charming lounge and restaurant. The outside seating area was filled with Hawaiin plants, flowers with a mixture of some hispanic arts. ordered the empanadas and slow cooked pork meal with black bean rice. the food came out hot and fresh. Best empanadas and the pork melted in your mouth. Highly recommend!

I just had one of the best fish dishes ever! A snapper fillet with the lightest most delicious sauce. This was our first time at The Empanada Lady...we loved the setting, and the service was perfect. Will definitely try it again.
On the menu it says they are plantains. They're actually bananas. I wanted something sweet but instead, I got fried bananas instead of fried plantains and the tacos what kind of tacos are these? Its all coleslaw where is the cilantro, onions and tomatoes it has NO FLAVOR and the shrimps are too small. The bartender who greeted me when I got in was very rude and I still gave him a 5 dollar tip and also apparently they don't serve alcohol, and I didn't find out the reason why but they don't serve alcohol, which is very strange, because when I came in it was only 6 PM
A very cute restaurant with great food. The service was very kind and helpful with all our questions.
