    It was a great experience. They have a ping pong table to vibe at while you wait for you order, the deals are great and filling for how much you pay (like 6 bucks for the deal in the photo-- definitely hard to find good food with a good portion like that nowadays), and I had great small talk with the owner which makes the experience that much nicer knowing you're helping out a nice family while getting your delicious meal. It's actually why I left a review; usually I only review parks but I just wanted to help his business out.

    Really good and affordable food, small delicious empanadas, Colombian Goodies, and honestly not only the food but they made this a place to get your mind out of social media and actually interact with other people playing fun table games, I saw teenagers enjoying their time, having real conversations & laughing while having actual fun without being attached to a phone, so it was literally like being transported to when I was a teenager and I had no phone and life was simpler :-) Great staff, great atmosphere very affordable and pleasant to visit, I definitely had a great time while I ate some goodies.

    What a special place for empanadas and more! We had an assortment of empanadas. Each empanada was unique and packed a glorious combo of flavor, texture, and richness. Pure joy in each bite. The Diablo crunch was also a hit and the churro was a great finale to the meal.

    Cant say enough good things about this place and food. The owners are so down to earth and care about their business. Been coming here for years now and can say they are THE most consistently fresh and delicious. I recommend looking at their Facebook for the daily empanada list as well as call ahead to order. They get pretty busy but ordering ahead works out. Every bite of their empanadas is bliss. You won't go anywhere else. I travel from nassau to get their food

    Love places like this. Genuine, authentic and great food. Guy sells 400-500 empanadas a day on average he says. Also a constant flow of traffic here too while I’m waiting. Door doesn’t stop opening with people coming. Solid spot if you’re in the area. Did the crunch wrap, with plantains and empanadas. Fantastic and will be coming back again.
