Yet another treasure on Delaware Avenue. Didn’t know I was a huge fan of empanadas until yesterday. Wow!

Great empanadas. We had empanadas for lunch. The cabbage/chorizo was great and the Dulce de Leche was rich and gooey. I liked them so much I ordered a bunch for dinner. Took the home and reheated in the air fryer. All -chicken, beef, chicken/cheese were very good. The tamales didn’t make me happy. The yellow sauce didn’t help the meal but the cilantro sauce was wonderful.

The food was plentiful and cheap, but too salty.

Parking: One has to look around for parking. Parking is available free on the street if you can find a spot

The empanadas were truly bad, worst I've ever had - crust soft, meat flavorless. The rice and beans was just blah and the fried plantains were undercooked. All around not good food. I ended up tossing most of it. To top it off, the cashier was not too friendly and didn't seem to want to help me chose what to order. I rarely leave such a bad review, but I had to on this one.

Very bad service, the last straw is that they prepare the same dishes.

We placed a large order of a variety of food. Unfortunately, we weren’t impressed.

The empanada dough was too thick for my liking. Empanada flavors we tasted included chicken; chicken and cheese; beef and cheese; spinach; Peruvian mac and cheese, which seemed like regular mac and cheese to us. Fried plantains are good. Dolce de lecce cookie was so-so. We ordered the dolce de lecce empanada too, which was better than the cookie. The yellow rice and chorizo didn’t taste homemade — when it comes to rice, if it tastes like I could have made it better, it’s a big let-down. We ordered chips and guacamole and didn’t select “extra guacamole,” and were a little disappointed by the size of the standard container, too.

Beef and cheesy chicken Empanadas came unseasoned on the inside. Green sauce was very good though.
