Made a trip out 25 min. Find out you have to pre order. At end of order they had all the extra fees. Not paying all that for food I haven’t tried yet. If they give some samples I’ll pay. But extra fees for what????

This place was recommended to me by my brother and let me just say it did not disappoint! I ended up ordering 2 jerk steak and shrimp empanadas and a lemon pepper chicken empanada and all I can say is wow! I was so excited to try them that I forgot to take a picture beforehand. The were so flavorful and everything was on point, will definitely be going back

The food is made to order and always fresh. You can tell the chef puts his all into his food. Nothing basic about these Empanadas! Must try.

Dude always sends out some wild good street food. I had the Mofongo Burrito ?. This thing was huge, I recommend dipping it in the Mayo Ketchup. I also had Rellenos de Papa. This was like a giant fried mashed potato ball stuffed with meat and cheese, again use that Mayo Ketchup. Last but not least was the Corn Fritters (I can't remember the menu name). These were like little fried cornbreads that were super sweet, almost like a dessert, do not dip these in the Mayo Ketchup unless you like cake dipped in ketchup. 10/10 my favorite Puerto Rican, highly recommend.

Delicious food! The jibaritos were amazing, especially with the Caribbean jerk sauce, we got chicken and churrasco. The pinche de pollo was juicy and melts in your mouth. The sorullo balls were soft with a crunchy and flaky crust. My wife had the chicken empanada and absolutely loved it and the relleno de papa were *chefs kiss*!
I was looking for good empanadas and found this on yelp so I decided to go there. First time coming here and I pass by here so many times and never seen something like this. The restaurant which is not really a restaurant more like a warehouse with a little sliding drive thru style window with a strobe light. Not what I expected to see but places like this have the best food. You have to go on their website and look up the menu and you have to place the order online. I went on there site the next day and they have more on their menu now. I recommend ordering your food before thinking of heading out to pick it up. I arrived at 5:10 and placed the order and didn't receive it until 7pm . As soon as you pay for the food you will receive a text message with a estimate how long it will be for food, mine said 5:50pm but then a couple minutes later got another text saying 6:10pm. I arrived back at the time it told me and wasn't ready. I texted the number that it says on the wall and then I received an email. The empanadas we ordered where Caribbean jerk skirt steak and cheese, beef steak and cheese, chicken and cheese, empanada plate with rice and added Mac and cheese because it was the only way to get it added on the order. They didn't have a side of Mac and cheese like the fries and add on's. I also got the same regular empanadas but add the hot sauce to them for an upgrade charge. I will start off with the chicken and cheese with hot sauce was my favorite. The taste was so amazing the empanadas in general the bread part is so good. I wasn't a fan of the beef steak or Caribbean jerk. The rice was good and the Mac and cheese looks so amazing in the pictures but I was really disappointed with the taste. It was nothing special just super bright yellow. I also ordered a jibarito but I order one of the new ones forgot which one because I was looking for lechón didn't want steak but it was just hamburger meat and yellow cheese like a chopped burger. I will try this place out again now that I saw they have a bigger menu and maybe I will do it on a week day not week end.

The location seems spooky but trust the process because the food is so worth it. The fries have a tasty limey seasoning. Nice juicy steak and the seasoning from the fries harmonized well with those steak pieces. The sauce it comes with is well done too. I think my food was ready in like 14 minutes. My mom said it was the best steak she's ever had. Reasonable pricing for the food portions I ate all of this in one sitting for $17

Best Puerto Rican option when me and my wife don't wanna cook. Portion were great, they season the food very well, we love the addition for more garlic flavor. Your mayo ketchup is heaven, paired with the plantain chips. 10, 10 , 1000. I will be back ! Food was done on time and still hot.
