I did just that ... ordered a few more. The Lomo Saltado and a Pig In A Poncho. Yummy! I highly recommend. Especially with a cold beer from Highland Brewing, which is conveniently located upstairs.

This food is absolutely delicious! We had all three empanadas and the chicken stew...our tastebuds…read morewere dancing with flavor.

The one who suggested this restaurant told the other right upfront that it's the best for this area of North Carolina and it is not Cuban food of Miami. The restaurant was busy, and of course tables are limited because of its size, but the owners were very accommodating and we appreciate that very much There is a back parking lot with three spaces, but they are for pick up only but we were given permission to use one as we had a handicap individual with us. My Cuban sandwich was just fine and tasted just like the one I had in Miami in my opinion as a gringo and everyone finished their meal without sending anything back so I would say the food was pretty good The restaurant is a order at the counter and staff will deliver it to your table. There is one unisex bathroom for All and I'm not sure about everyone else but of course our service dog was allowed. I did see two other dogs so I can only assume that pets are allowed as those two were not marked as service animals at all. I cannot think of anything that would cause me not to give this Restaurant a full five star rating

The Cuban sandwich is a great experience of flavor and well done masterpiece... All the personnel welcome you and treat you as part of the family. I truly recommended for Breakfast and for lunch.

Well, my goodness. A little over a year living here in beautiful Burnsville and I guess I have…read moreseen on the Homeplace Beer Company / Hog Hollow Pizza calendar that there are food trucks in the parking lot on Mondays but I never connected the dots to realize that there are food trucks because the kitchen is closed. We'd been craving pizza and I ventured out solo to hunt one down and bring it home. Briefly confused and panicked (I'd been sent specifically for pizza), I regained my composure and grabbed some Carolina Empanada Company empanadas. We still got to eat food that came in a cardboard clamshell box and it was really very good. If you haven't, you probably should.

Food truck and get it to go! I had chicken and veggie. Both great made with fresh ingredients. I never had a veggie one and the veggies were diced and plentiful. Great taste and the crust recipe is really good. They are made to order so if you come here give yourself a few minutes but know they are freshly made! I highly recommend. Something different in the Burnsville area.

I have been visiting Black Mountain for years but haven't tried this interesting restaurant yet…read more Today was the day for me/us and marked the day the train returned on its route through Black Mountain. We were impressed by the interest and fanfare this post-Helene event created for the locals. Parking on the street, across the street or a short way up the street is town free parking. Shannon and Rain were our friendly and helpful servers. There are many seating options. We chose the sun room which was comfortable. Others were seated outside on the side porch and several people were inside. We shared a bowl of the delicious French onion soup. Eat it while it's hot for the best experience. The buckwheat crepes were the perfect consistency to handle the savory entrees. My Market crepe was packed full of goodies including the sausage add-on. Each ingredient stood well on its own. The pesto was a standout. My partner got the mushroom crepe with chicken. She enjoyed immensely. Both entrees came with a fresh greens and balsamic dressing. The servings were generous enough to bring two halves home for dinner. Sharing soup and a savory crepe is a reasonable strategy if leaving leftovers in your vehicle during the summer heat is a concern. We joined the servers on the patio to watch the return of the train through a nicely recovering town.

The wait staff was not very welcoming. My empanada was very good. My dining partners were…read moredisappointed in the crapes , had we looked first on website we would have not ordered them. It did not meet our expectations but the way we were greeted it went down hill quickly.

Another of my favorite is the tres leches. so I took a bite and I spit it right out it was disgusting. When I lifted up it was goopy and the three milks should not be goopy and it tasted like rotten milk it was disgusting. The third thing I got was a custard filled doughnut. At least that was soso. Someone on here on their review said the best authentic Mexican bakery... Yeah I don't think they've actually had legit Mexican bakery Products because this is not it.

6:13 53 Juquilita…read moreBakery I don't recommend, such terrible service and the food tasted bad! I used to like to stop there on my way to Pigeon Forge. Tlive more than an hour from this Mexican Bakery. However, this last time I stopped, the experience was not the same. My favorite was the cheese and jalapeño relleno bread. They also carry some with just cheese. So, I asked the employees which were the ones with jalapeños in them. The employee said they all had jalapeño's and cheese. I purchased two of them. When I arrived at home, the bread instead had chorizo and potatoes inside. The taste was so bad and cold. I was disappointed. So, I called the bakery hoping to get replacements of jalapeño and cheese whenever I have the opportunity to stop by there, since it wasn't my fault. The employee told me no. I told her I could take a photo and keep the receipt. Nope, she didn't care. In addition, since I live more than an hour away, I asked the employee for a box to place the bread in, so the frosting on the small cakes wouldn't get messed up. Upon, looking at my receipt at home to call them, I noticed I was charged $2.25 for a thin little box that one gets free for purchasing donuts at a donut shop. If the employee had told me that there is a charge for the box, I would've had her place the bread in bags instead. This Mexican bakery is not a place I recommend to buy from. Take your business elsewhere.

Stopped driving home from Greenville and they had amazing reviews but it just wasn't it for us…read more I ordered 2 beef empanadas and 2 cheese. I received chicken and maybe (?) beef, hubby thought it was very pork like but the menu doesn't have pork and I think it was the vegan empanadas. They were good, but not what we ordered. Hubby got the skewers with rice, wonderful. My food never came, when I asked they told me I didnt order it and I had to insist I did, and then they told me it will be right out. I ate the empanadas with hubby, hubby ate is skewers,rice, and potato, my food was still nowhere to be seen. At that point I asked for a refund, they told me my food wasn't ready, and I said I know, I'm done here and would like a refund which they gave to me in cash. It was an hour from ordering to me asking for a refund. What we had was good but 1) I wouldn't recommend for someone with allergies or food restrictions, 2) it took awhile to get the food The woman at the front was very sweet but I was disappointed because several people on TikTok recommended it, and the reviews are exceptional.

My wife and I tried Latin Flavorz at their new location at 870 E. Suber Road, Greer, SC…read more That's the front side of the Lowe's Food shopping center shared with Lieu's Chinese Bistro, Voila French Cafe, and Nixtamal Mexican Kitchen. Basically, across the street from Riverside High School. Latin Flavorz is billed as "fast casual." It was! We got there at 11 am for lunch (see that menu below). We'll have to come back to try the breakfast menu. It appears to feature a lot of egg dishes with fiesta potatoes and chorizo. My wife was encouraged to try it by some work colleagues who promised "the best burger in Greenville" and we had to try the pandebono (which we didn't try this time). My wife tried the Beef Burger which was a very thick and tasty patty on a sesame seed bun. Served with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, crispy bacon, two melted cheeses, potato stix, and the Latin Flavorz in-house condiments. It was served very hot and juicy. It was big enough for us to split. It's $14.99. She made it a combo (fountain drink and fries) for another $5.99. I tried the skewers: one beef and one chicken. The steak was perfectly cooked, a decent portion, had a good flavor. The chicken was also prepared well, served hot, and had a good seasoning. Mine was served with a couple of small, roasted potatoes and spicy guacamole. $13.99. I added the House Rice for $2.99 and a fountain drink (I think about $3.) I gave my date a chunk of the steak and a chunk of the chicken in exchange for a third of the burger. "Flavorz" for sure. Nothing was bland. Lots of Colombian and Venezuelan influences here. The smells from the kitchen were making my mouth water as soon as we walked up to the counter to get our menus. After ordering, you're given one of those electronic pucks to know when your food is ready. When buzzed, you return to the counter to fetch your food. Since it was a counter-service set-up, we only had dealings with the gentleman at the register. He was friendly. The atmosphere features a hand-painted mural on one wall and painted concrete floor. All nicely done. They spent some money on the menus which are well-designed with colorful, enticing photos. Several of the dishes look to be a work of art. Being a brand-new venue (opened the week of Christmas 2025), it was immaculate and spacious. By the time we left, the lunch crowd was hopping! Outside the restaurant is a good number of parking spaces, except when the fitness spot next door is busy. But across the lane are a few hundred spots as part of the whole shopping center. With tax and tip, it was almost $50. So, more of a special occasion place for a lunch. regular and jumbo hot dog both featuring caramelized onions, bacon, cheese, and potato stix with their in-house condiments. Their taco offerings: birria, tacorritos (beef, chicken, mixed), and street tacos (beef, chicken, and mixed). Quesdillas (beef, chicken, or cheese). And a Quesa-birria. If you like plantains, they have a deep-fried option with beef, chicken, and mixed. All topped with their specialty garlic sauce and pink sauce. An up-and-coming fare favorite to Greenville: Arepas--corn meal patties. You can get two per order (beef, chicken, mixed, or plain). All filled with cheese and topped with the garlic sauce and pink sauce. The dual skewers come with roasted potatoes and spicy guacamole. (Beef, chicken, or mixed.) Latin Flavorz also offers some interesting looking fusion items: Super Salchipapa with is a bowl of crispy fires, fried sausage, plantain bits, with melted cheese, garlic sauce, pink sauce, and spicy guac. You can add pineapple for 99-cents. Sweet plantains with cheese: a bowl of plantain wedges, deep fried with melted cheese. Chori-papas: a plate of crispy French fries, yellow potatoes, and Colombian Chorizo slices, topped with the garlic sauce and pink sauce. Garlic Shrimp: good sized shrimp covered in garlic ajillo sauce, served with white rice, lettuce, and slices of fried plantains. The Pikada for Two is a large plate of crispy fries, with chorizo and Blood Sausage, beef, chicken, fried plantain (tostones), fried yellow potatoes (papa criolla), with wedges of lime and tomato. Spicy aji and pink sauce on the side. Sweet plantain and cheese rolls, deep fried, four per order. Salchipapaas, crispy fries, fried sausage, drizzled with garlic sauce and pink sauce.
