I jokingly commented on a post asking if they deliver to Madison, and he said yes! There was a delivery fee involved (makes sense). I ordered, all frozen: 20 of the empadinhas de frango (little chicken pies), 3 feijoada meals, 3 carne moída (ground beef, carrots, potatoes and rice) meals, some coxinhas and a risole. So far I baked the empadinhas as he recommended, and they had that flaky crust that is just delicious.. Yum! I served them at a small outdoor gender reveal and heard comments complimenting them! the only other thing we have eaten so far is the feijoada, and it is smoky, stewy and delicious. Absolutely not something I would endeavor to make at home, and so worth it. I wish there were some collard greens on the side, but don't think that would be easy to freeze and reheat, so understand why it's not included in the frozen meal. Very excited to try the rest! As far as professionalism, Wendell made the drive in rainy weather and was a perfect professional in responsiveness throughout the ordering and delivery process.

Brazilian food at the Greenfield Farmers market, I'm down because I don't see a lot of Brazilian…read morefood in my travels. The chicken pizza was very tasty with a thin crust, very floury on the bottom and not a saucy pizza with red sauce like we know. Dry spices with a ricotta cheese like squeezes on top cooked to a golden is as best as I can describe this pizza. This was very different but very good for a non traditional pizza as we know in this country. No sauce for flavor but cheese and dry spices actually works very well on a thin crust. Overall I'm so glad that I stopped because I love trying new things and Brazilian food already seems very tasty so I'm going to try and find them again and get something different.

The queso y poblano knocked it out of the fucking park. My favorite of the three. The cheese was so creamy and paired perfectly with the poblano peppers. Could eat this every day of my life. I also loved the corn one. The corn was particularly tasty. The soyrizo and potato packed a punch of flavor with a touch of heat. The most hearty but my least favorite. Such a great stop.

La Masa Empanada Bar is a fantastic addition to Milwaukee Public Market…read more We were impressed with every bite, but I have to say the Door County Cherry empanada is what's up. SO delicious, albeit a tad spendy at $5. As someone who lived in Green Bay, WI for years and years, and am now a proud Chicagoan, I loved getting some Door Cherries in my life while also tasting the unique Wisconsin Cheese Curd and Bacon empanada. That is something I wouldn't ever get at home, and it was so yummy and unique. My husband and I split all of our selections, which also included the Argentine Beef, Beef Barbacoa and Chicken Tinga. They come "stamped" so you know what you are biting into. The Market was busy, as usual on a Saturday afternoon, but they did a great job of getting our food out rapidly. The empanadas are boxed well, making it a great carry-out spot, should you be seeking that.

Was so dry and old no flavor whatsoever. I reached out and told them. They Admit that it was old and apologized.

If you want pollo asado try Garibaldis or sams club

I was excited to see Triciclo Peru announce on Instagram this new location, in the Crossroads…read moreCollective. It's been open a few weeks, and they are dubbing it Triciclo Peru Express! Do yourself a favor if you haven't already been to Triciclo's restaurant location on Vliet St., you'll be happy that you did! Since I work in the area on Tuesdays, I've instituted my own #takeouttuesday mission for carryout on the East Side, before heading home. Crossroads Collective does have limited indoor dining at this time, but I weighed my empanada options and went with the frozen take & bake variety, three large empanadas with the same filling. My faves are the Sweet Potato, and also the Lomo Saltado seasoned beef which was my choice! Take & bake comes with simple instructions, and I even did the egg wash that they recommended. My only wish is that takeaway frozen variety also came with a small sauce, because that would certainly be appreciated. I purchased a small container of the cilantro sauce, which was great! Hit 'em up in the Crossroads Collective! And maybe institute a #takeouttuesday mission of your own!

I could not say "no" to purchasing empanadas to-go during my very first time Crossroads Collective…read more Several were hot and fresh, although they can make them to order (they say it takes about 25 mins) and there is a take-and-bake option as well. I ordered 3 of these unique stuffed pockets: sweet potato, pork, and steak. Each empanada came with a unique dipping sauce. The Sweet Potato was accompanied a yellow pepper sauce, the Pork came with rocoto pepper sauce, and the seco (steak) with cilantro sauce. The pepper sauces were pretty dang zippy - I'm not sure which was which but I could tolerate the milder of the 2. The cilantro sauce was were it was at, I was unaware they sold it buy the bottle but I would definitely purchase it and put on basically everything! My husband said the pork was his favorite (I did not try it), but between the steak and sweet potato, I thought the sweet potato was more flavorful and exciting where as the seco was actually quite bland and reminded me of pot roast. It seemed like 2 of the 3 were much heavier breaded than I anticipated. The regular size empanadas are fairly large and very filling. Purchasing prepared they are $6 each.... the frozen 3 pack is more reasonable at $12 but you can not mix and match. I did not see the minis so I am not sure of the size comparison is to the regular size (those are 5 for $15). Overall, it was a fun and extravagant treat. I guess I was a little turned off when my bill was nearly $20 for 3 empanadas and the employee selected the 25% tip option upon swiping my card (I did tip a little over $2, but $4 for putting 3 empanadas and pre-pared ramekins of sauce in a bag is a tad much in my opinion... I mean, I suffered the effects of the pandemic too...). But, I would most likely get one or two if I was already at the Crossroads Collective - which I plan on visiting again :)

Lumpia City is a new food truck to the MKE market. We happened to catch them at the Pabst Brewery…read moreopening - one of their first few events. If you're a dope like me and don't know what lumpia is - well - it's a delicious Filipino creation that reminded me of a spring roll. They're crisp rolled sticks filled with yummy fillings - some pretty creative ones from this truck for sure. The menu is changing obviously but they make meat, veggie and dessert lumpia. An order of 6 (cut in half so 12pcs) was $10. I got a mix - 1/2 were seasoned beef which was honestly pretty boring and the El Carne version which adds veggies and some heat. That one was delicious! Sadly, I missed out on siracha pork. The lumpia were served hot, crispy and with a nicely flavored aioli for dipping. Despite the crowds, the staff was on point. Everyone was nice, my food came up quickly and it was quite tasty. Definitely worth a stop if you see them around town, or stop at Sugar Maple on Wednesdays where they'll be hanging this summer.
