As you can see from my previous review, I've had better experiences…read more I ordered earlier today and when I received the order, it was completely wrong. It was obvious that there was a mixup. The mistake isn't what annoyed me, because again, it was a mistake. What annoyed me was the lady on the phone told me that it was "grub hubs fault". The attached receipt was correct but the contents belonged to someone else. I ordered the shrimp and steak chaufa and instead i received a chicken and rice with sweet plantains. It's totally impossible that it was grubhubs fault because grub hub doesn't pack the order together, they just simply grab the bag and go about their way. She kept insisting the above. Just own up to your mistake and not deflect the responsibility on someone else. Just straight up lied instead of saying she was rushing snd confused the orders. Horrible. Was late to work and everything. What a waste of time and I will never order from here again.

The DJ was good, the $20 a person coverage charge was a bit much I would say so that would weigh into me visiting again for the restaurant portion. The Drinks were very strong, hookah was decent, and the food was absolutely delicious! The catfish was the fresh I have ever had, the collard greens were AMAZING!!!, the yams were good as well. I also tried the jerk chicken empanada which was good, but the sweet plantain would over power the flavor a bit making it too sweet sometimes. Inside is rather small so I would choose wisely the timing of your arrival and how many people you bring with you. All and all I would come back for that catfish anytime!!!

Stopped by here for a quick lunch with my sister before heading back to work. It was Taco Tuesday…read moreso we had to celebrate accordingly and El Ranchero is the perfect spot because they throw in an extra taco on Tuesdays as part of their deal! The service was great. Our server was very on top of her stuff, making sure we had everything we needed and we were enjoying the food. She even let us practice our Spanish with her when ordering! My sister ordered the chicken tinga tacos and I ordered the beef birria. Both taco orders came with 5 tacos (because of the deal, it is typically 4), onions, cilantro, lime, and radish. Don't sleep on the radish, it my favorite part to add a nice crunch! Both meats were very flavorful and tender. They also gave us green and hot salsa on the side (green was my fave) and the birria tacos came with some delicious consommé for dipping. We also ordered guac and chips as an appetizer which was very fresh, and our favorite jarritos flavors to drink. It's decorated very nicely inside - no frills, a few tables and chairs inside for dining in and even a bar-style area with stools for those dining by themselves. They also offer takeout of course, but I honestly enjoyed sitting down because everything was very quick and they took great care of us. We walked, but there is only street parking so keep that in mind when traveling here.

Hiding in plain sight on Washington St. is this little snack & coffee haven. Their name basically…read moresays it all because their menu basically consists of two things: lots of empanadas and a solid coffee menu. I got a few empanadas, the caprese being the favorite of the bunch and an iced americano. It was simple and very tasty. They have a few tables outside, along with a very limited seating at the window inside. Worth a stop if you are craving an empanada or a good snack.

We had gotten a spinach and cheese, rice and beans, mushroom, and cheese empanadas. The ones that were filled had a nice amount of filling in them. The cheese was a bit smaller and flat, but understandable as it is just cheese. The ladies that work there were kind and patient as we were choosing our flavors. It is a small space but they do have a couple of seats along the front window to sit. Excellent spot

I've never eaten anything that I didn't like. My faves are: milhojas, breakfast croissant sandwich, and any and every cake with dulce de leche filling. I only tiny, minuscule complaint I have about this place is the lack of signage for the pastries and cakes. It would be nice to know what I'm looking at without having the ask. Absolutely zero gatekeeping here. Please everyone keep patronizing this establishment. I need this place to continue to exist in my hood.

The cake here is very good! Super moist, and the frosting is light and fluffy when ordered fresh…read more Unfortunately the 2 cupcakes I got, both alfajores and the chocolate covered one too were stale, like super hard and dry. So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

Franklin, the owner, was very nice and steered me to some great choices. I got the beef and cheese and the beef chimichurri, both outstanding. I am saving my guava and cheese one for later but it also looks good. While the empanadas were delicious, the generous portions of sauce complemented quite nicely and kicked it up to another flavor level. The pink Siracha is creamy with a kick. The chimichurri sauce is very fresh with lots of garlic. You can pick up to three empanada and two sauce flavors for the meal. The store looks empty but if the door is open, walk in and someone will be out from the back. I had dogs in the car so i waited outside and Franklin was nice enough to bring the order out, as well as with my sunglasses which i had left on the counter. I will definitely be ordering from here many times to come.

The empanadas are made to order so expect a little wait. I thought it was on the expensive side, but it was a better empanada than some other places that barely put any meat. Flavors were good - next time i'd probably go with just cheesesteak and chimi sauce. Other things were just okay, probably wouldn't try them again. Friendly service, I'd stop by again when the craving hits.

They're BYOB and offer a ton of gluten free options including... The Pao de Queijo (cheese ball app) - delicious and a no brainer. Mexilhão a Curitiba (mussels app) - also very good. The mussels are quite large; this could be an entree for me personally. The Frango Piri-piri (cornish hen) - good but sadly kind of dry. The yuca fries it came with were pretty good though. Lastly, my husband said the beef stroganoff was very amazing but needed more rice.

Highly recommend their food and drinks

Huge portion, and flavor was fine, but I feel like it could be better with something sour or tangy. I think the onions were pickled, but not well enough. Or instead of avocado, you could do a lime guac. Also I had to use my own knife to cut it into manageable sections (to-go order). Pretty crazy that they just serve the whole thing to you, but maybe they cut it if you dine inside. Pina colada slushie was great, but not worth dropping 6 bucks, that's insane.
