So incredibly delicious, super quick and kind service, and I seriously cannot thank y’all enough for such a wonderful meal! We came to Optimist Hall when a concert was delayed and we found this absolute GEM that EVERYONE should visit. FANTASTIC food all around; empanadas, beans & rice, even the fries are top tier. Thank y’all so much for being around! We can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely amazing. My wife and I had our first date at optimist hall 2 years ago, had the empanadas and had the best date ever. 2 years later, the service is just as amazing if not better and the food is incredible.
