Staff was very friendly and kind. However, the food was not that good. It truly lacked seasoning. The Empanadas we got one of them was not cooked all the way through so when my husband and I went to bite into it was completely frozen. Also, not sure what was up with the rice when we went, but a lot of our rice was hard. For the price of the bowls and I truly expected better.

Got the vegetarian bowl. Majority of it was beans and rice as other reviewers said. No seasoning, but the aji is good (get at least 2 if you want flavor and spice with the bowl). The simplicity of the veggie bowl did feel like something you could make at home for a third of the price. May need to try the empanadas instead next time. Passionfruit juice was good.

This is the perfect little lunch spot! Ditch the chains nearby and stop here instead. I got the empanada combo which truly can’t be beat in terms of a quick, delicious, comforting bite. Getting to pick my own sauce was an added bonus. I look forward to coming back and trying out more of their menu! This empanada combo is a real bang for your buck, though!
