    EASILY THE BEST EMPANADAS IN THE WORLLLDDD!!! The Yaroa fries are out of this world, the chopped cheese is cooked to perfection, and they are even OPEN LATE !! One of the few places you can get a DELICIOUS SMOOTHIE at 1AM. They have the coolest owners ever and they really bring that New York bodega taste and feel. Absolutely fire.

    So delicious ! I will definitely be returning for this acai bowl 10/10 Also the service was amazing very patient very kind & generous. Also great portions!!

    Was so excited when I saw this near my adventure yesterday. Plenty of street parking but make sure you don't block anyone's gate! Upon walking up I realized it's a ghost kitchen/multi-kitchen situation so you actually order online. The service was quick and the people working were very kind and sweet. There's a little table so we sat out front to eat. Very cute hanging lights, but the storm messed up the lil patio covering. We ordered the: Chicken and cheese empanada: okay, crispy wrapper that's reminiscent of a wonton wrapper. the best part was oddly the mozzerella, great cheese pull, but seemed to be concentrated in one corner Chimi sauce: okay Chop Cheese: was okay, ingredients were fresh, was looking for a bit more flavor Overall it was only okay, but I would like to try a couple more things for another review

    The late night munchies?!?! This is the place to grab you a few things. Located in a shared kitchen with multiple businesses in North Hollywood. Ordered three things from their menu to try out: 1. Dragonfruit Smoothie, made with almond milk, banana, strawberries, and agave. I love the stunning purple/reddish color it gives. It was literally so refreshing to have after a dance class. 2. 3 empanada special (2x chicken & cheese, 1x cheese), honestly I love how crispy and crunchy the texture of it, never really had crispy ones like these. The chicken & cheese had flavor and a perfect combo of protein with some creaminess and the cheese one by itself tastes yummy. These pair perfectly with the chimi sauce to give it the ooomph!!! 3. Chicken Yaroa Fries, I'm so big on potato's are those extra carbs hahah. Presentation wise and how it looks, it doesn't look appetizing because each element contains a similar color palette but it was tasty and has a burst of flavors. the chicken was cook nicely and was tender with each bite. So creamy from the cheese and the chimi sauce. Definitely, a good option to try and is a comfort food. I just felt really good eating it. Only come here if you want to eat delicious food that's comforting and full of flavor! Definitely recommend!!! P.S. You order with their QR Code/ on their app and pick it up when it's ready!

    The food is excellent. That's without question. Fresh, ample, flavorful- and consistent with East Coast NYC style Dominican Bodega bites. Priced right, and open late- this will not disappoint. Top it all off with an incredible, warm and friendly staff- this ghost kitchen kicks up neighborhood favorite vibes. Worth a delivery order- or a stop by to grab a quick (and yum) meal!

    Chop Cheese (NYC Classic)

    This food is fantastic, and I can't wait to come back. I'll admit I didn't get to try food from the Dominican bodegas when I visited New York, so I felt like I finally got the chance coming here. What an awesome addition to my neighborhood! This is a little ghost kitchen style spot in a relatively empty building (there are a couple other restaurants here too, each with their own little space). You basically either order online or walk up and order at the door. I got to talk to the owner and he was super friendly and helpful while we figured out what to try. I wanted to get a bit of all of the best stuff while we were there, and I was not disappointed...we tried the mangu con Los tres gulpes, the classic chop cheese sandwich, and three empanadas. Everything was phenomenal, and the empanadas in particular were standouts for us - I'm still dreaming about the beef and cheese. One of my favorite recent finds and can't wait to try more of the menu.

    Amazing food! I've tried a few things off the menu and I haven't been disappointed. You can tell they cook with their heart. Super friendly and fast. Also flan empanada!? Amazing!

    Arely S.

    The place is great! We had the beef empanada and cheese and beef empanadas! Delicious. The beef was amazingly seasoned and the cheese was nicely melted! We also ordered a chopped cheese and chimi burger! We were not disappointed! Definitely place everyone must try and keep coming! Everything we had was chef's kiss! To top this delightful cuisine, we had kimalito de coco. The most delicious coconut creamy icy. The owners are super friendly and provided such excellent customer service! We will be coming back soon!

    Ive gone twice and really enjoyed the food I have tried. Sandwiches are on point. Cant get a chopped cheese no where. So they really come through with that Dominican flavor and NY style food. But the Flan empanada is a banger must try if they got it.

    Racquel K.

    Authentic Dominican food! Wow simply amazing highly recommend !! I lived in NY until i was 20 years old & wow- 10/10

    Alex K.

    I went to an event that was catered by this place. And I must say, it was quite tasty. Their sandwiches were outstanding. The meat drenched with flavors did not disappoint. Regardless on if you're a vegetarian or love meat. They had it all. Also the empanadas, can we say yum. Everything was full of flavors and was a big hit. And the lemonade, perfect combo for everything. Now that I know about this place, it's time for a proper visit....

This wonderful restaurant offers delicious Dominican food in a city where there is a dearth of Dominican options. Pardon my ignorance if there is a large community here in LA and that I am just unaware. I ordered the Santana's chicken - or their version of pollo guisado - as well as a cheese and diced salami empanada to start. The portions are pretty large here so the entrée lasted to me about two meals. The chicken was just so flavorful with all the different spices and ingredients. Really well done. I had mine with moro instead of the regular rice because I wanted that extra umph (and protein) from the beans. The empanada had a nice crisps to it and once you've bit in your mouth is met with the oozing, delicious cheese and salty salami. I really enjoyed my meal here. The people here are really friendly and helpful. I was created right as I walked in. There's not a lot of seating area so there's probably a lot of takeout orders here, although I was able to dine in since the place wasn't super busy at the time of my visit. I really enjoy restaurants like this that offer something different to the area and with good execution. The prices here are really reasonable as well. The lot was pretty large so I had no problems finding parking during my visit

Out of curiosity, I sent another message mentioning I "knew Drake," and suddenly I got a response within 2 hours--ready to take my order. That alone didn't sit right with me. When I asked to see a menu, I was told I was "wasting her time" if I wasn't placing a catering order. We briefly discussed dates, and I was told she was booked for the rest of the month. When I politely asked when she would be available, I was left on read with no response. She had no intentions of taking my order. It honestly felt like she only responded just to tell me "I WAS WASTING HER TIME‼." That interaction made me feel discriminated against, shamed, and honestly just sad. I truly feel like if I were a celebrity or had more money, I would have been treated with basic respect. I'm new to Los Angeles and was genuinely excited to try Caribbean food since we don't have it where I'm from. This experience really discouraged me. It even made me question myself and feel like something was wrong with me, which shouldn't happen from simply trying to support a business. Overall, the customer service I experienced was rude and dismissive--at least toward me--and it completely turned me off from ever wanting to try the food. Customer service matters, and this experience made me lose interest in trying the food altogether.

It's been around for over 20 years and is currently in a newer space than it was before; featuring more parking and a larger space. Ambiance: The interior has a relaxed feel with beachy surfer themed decor. It has a clean modern feel with a bunch of tables featuring accent colored chairs. There is music in the background and a TV on the wall featuring surfing videos. Service: You order at the counter, they ring you up and you get the food brought out. You can see the kitchen as it's open. It was my first time and it was a simple and easy experience. Everything came out in a timely fashion. Food: Some of their specialities include the 20+variations of fried empanadas (meats, chicken, pork, veggie, dessert) that come in both savory and sweet types, as well as their speciality plates such as their Korean-style flat iron steak skewers and chicken satay. The sauces they serve with their empanadas are incredible and some of the best I've ever had such as their chimmi-churri, basil-aioli and sweet & sour Thai. I recently did the lunch combo featuring a choice of a 1/2 salad or 1/2 fries, choice of any two empanadas and a canned drink. I chose beef and Kailua pig empanadas; both were great, empanadas didn't break apart and were crispy, everything was seasoned well; the filling of the beef was a bit more than the Kailua pig however. Drinks: They have various drinks such as lemonade, juices, sodas/soft drinks, and some beers on tap. Parking: The lot is large and has ample parking depending on the day and time. Prices: Prices are to the times that we're in...so not too great. Ala carte empanadas are $5+ but as you order more (4, 12) the prices come down a slight bit.
