Our food came in hot & fast! Absolutely delicious empanadas. We loved the plated meals as well. We tried their passionfruit & mango drinks & desserts, particularly the plantain cheesecake.
Commandé par ma blonde. Mon premier review, mais j'en ai mangé plusieurs fois. & à chaque fois, c'est un pur plaisir gustatif. Original, savoureux, sans fla-fla. C'est juste bon. Cette fois, on a pris des arepas boeuf effiloché & tomates (carne mechada). Délicieux.
Casual place for brunch. Our server was very friendly. Tried the mixed veggie empanadas as well as the chicken with avocado arepa. The arepa was very tasty & filling. Can with a small side salad. The empanada fillings were flavorful.
The best part is the avacado sauce, but the actual meal is a little boring & not that flavorful. Their new restaurant has as good an atmosphere as the old one, but with a lot more space.
This was an amazing place for some glutenfree areperas /sandwiches! Staff was super nice, music was good, open kitchen & most of all, food was super tasty!! Would definitely recommend
Bonne bouffe mais la viande effilochée manquait de condiments (hogao o guiso) à mon goût, par contre l'hôtesse Daniela très sympa & ne manquait pas du tout de piquant
My best friend who is celiac & I love this place so much. Every time we visit we are greeted by the great staff. Today Nora was our waitress & she was really friendly, kind & took her time with us.
La bouffe est incroyable, on commande CHACUN toujours 3 empenadas & le pabellon de pollo, & avec chaque bouchée bien sûr accompagné de la merveilleuse sauce épicée rouge & celle verte.
Ce resto a changé de propriétaires au fils des années, mais la qualité, les prix, & l'expérience est tout aussi enjoyable.
Avec la belle journée, les fenêtres ouvertes, on ce sentait dehors avec les piétons alors qu'on était comfortable à l'intérieur.
Thank youuu & je le sais que la prochaine fois que je reviens je vais adorer!
