Super nice like I was one of his family members. Long lost cousin. Andre I ordered the apricot chicken thigh with rice lunch deal. This was very good. Not a whole lot of food but enough My apprentice ordered the empanadas. They were very small. So sad. As we were walking out the owner came up to us and asked if we have been there before. Asked our names told us a nice story ,shook our hands and we walked out. Nice guy I really want to see the good guy succeed. Please eat here! The food was good. Service was great and was pretty quick. Unlike other places. As for the price. It was average. I don't mind paying for good services and good food.

Wow! What an amazing experience! Popped in for lunch and was treated to a delicious meal. We tried…read morea little bit of everything and was not disappointed. The empanadillas with flaky crust and favorable filling, the Tostones were fried perfectly and served with a yummy dipping sauce, seasoned rice with pigeon peas, and Yuca alcapurrias made up a delicious and filling lunch. Amazing food, paired with the friendliest and most welcoming customer service, make Carmen's Cooking a must for anyone looking for a top tier dining experience!

Updating my review since Que Chévere has a new standalone restaurant on Culver Rd, but they're…read morestill serving the same amazing food! This is my favorite place for empanadas. The crust is perfectly crispy and the fillings are SO flavorful. The beef and cheese is my favorite, but I highly recommend trying everything on their menu.

Bacalao codfish was a bit oily and dry, as cod often is. Octopus empanada was done well which is difficult as octopus tends to be tough texture. You can order pasteles (pork only) ahead.

Seafood salad with an olive-forward muffuletta-like mix was ok, texture was a bit tough. Would return to try more items, since one item can't be representative of a whole restaurant.

The Mofungo was the best I've had stateside, and the pork was prepared perfectly. I recommend this to anyone looking for proof that the ROC food scene is finally maturing beyond garbage plates and Chicken French. We look forward to visiting again!

The fried pork was outstanding. Very little fat, but crisp and tasted amazing. I have to say I…read morehave never had tostones done as well as theirs. Perfectly fried and just the right amount of salt. The red rice still makes my mouth water when I think about it. So enough about the food The best part is that the waitress was so friendly and then the owner came over an introduced himself. That makes anyone feel at home. I'm impressed. The renovations are amazing. For anyone old enough to remember that the building was a nightclub (Inferno), will be blown away at the look of it now. I can't wait to go back for a little salsa dancing!!!

This looked like a new joint and we decided to walk in when we were passing by. We just tried the…read morechicken empanadas. They were alright. Have definitely had much better ones. The lady at the counter was very sweet though. She was very willing to answered questions about the food they had on display. They have a pretty limited menu. I would love to go back and try some of the other dishes. I'm not sure if they have dine-in though. It looks like a quick take out food joint mostly serving the office goers around. The place was very clean, perhaps because it was new. I hope they maintain it that way.

Recently opened, Bianca's currently offers a limited menu of Puerto Rican food, but they plan to…read moreexpand their offerings soon. The interior was clean and recently renovated. The staff was friendly. The chicken chicken empanada was flavorful and not too salty, and so was the yellow rice and beans. Bring cash for now, because they are not taking credit cards yet.

For some Puerto Rican cuisine, this might be a good to go spot to grab dinner before heading home…read more Right on Hudson near downtown, it is close to most areas in Rochester. Originally came here because I found a coupon with restaurants.com but upon arriving, the staff said they were no longer accepted. Bummer but I still ordered food. The pepperoni empanada was meh. Mostly dough. The beef empanada had more of a Jamaican Patty than Latino flavor but still delicious. The fried chicken was crunchy with moist meat. The pulled pork was succulent and the skin was crispy. The yellow rice and beans was full of flavor. I'll admit, the area is sketchy so grab food only in the daylight. The dining area isn't the most inviting either so take out is recommended.

Everyone was friendly, staff and customers alike. They have a small selection of their own interesting crafted cocktails, beyond that, stick to the classics and you'll be fine here. There's a small back room with a couple of electronic dartboards. The rest rooms are very well maintained. There will be lots of animated conversation going on all over. It's definitely worth a visit if you're on this part of Park Ave.
