This time I ordered a trio of my favorites, spinach, sweet corn, and wild mushroom. You can tell which empanada is, which by the little baked on code. This time, keeping in the comfort food category, I tried the grilled cheese with a side salad, and it was very very good. The grilled cheese was on Texas toast, and the side salad came with an absolutely delightful dressing. It was a crisp, bright, fresh addition to my meal. Just for fun, I also ordered the flan. I adore flan when it's properly cooked and has just the right amount of caramel sauce and this really hits the spot. Rich and sweet caramel sauce covering a less sweet, custardy flan is an excellent way to end a meal.

***PIZZA GOAT*** WOW!!! The best pizza I've had in my entire…read morelife!!!! the flavors are unmatched. I've never had this distinctive flavored pizza before. This is an Argentina style pizza, which is my first time having it. The crust is literally the best part and I don't even like crust on any pizza. The shredded cheese that they put on the pizza is very delicate very fresh. I can't wait to get other pizzas and try those other toppings. I also got the beef empanada and it was very fresh. Very good. I would rate that 10/10.. The empanada did not break apart when I took a bite into it. It was absolutely piping hot and it comes with a chimichurri sauce and you actually don't really need the sauce. You order at the register which is nearest the door and you find a place to sit they will bring out the food to you. There are stands with water, water cups, napkins, and plates.

I was immediately uncomfortable when I arrived because the first thing I encountered was a woman…read morethey hired, greeting us outside in an extremely revealing outfit, with sequin pasties and a thong-style costume. She then made her rounds around the restaurant, the two hours I was there. I found the presentation completely inappropriate for a restaurant. It felt more like something you would see at a strip club or Vegas nightlife venue than at a restaurant, and it was especially jarring at a 5 PM event. Honestly, I would have found it inappropriate regardless of the time. I'm Latina and all for a good, sexy time. But there is a time and place for everything. Beyond that, the restaurant was extremely crowded and hot, and they were already running out of food. Given the number of people there, the food situation was poorly handled. I also had an issue with my drink charge. It was listed as $9, but I was charged over $11, while my friend was charged only $10 for hers. That inconsistency was frustrating. Unfortunately, between the uncomfortable atmosphere, extreme crowding, heat, lack of food, and billing discrepancy, this was a very disappointing experience. I've since seen other reviews mentioning long waits, and after experiencing the chaos myself, I can understand why.

The Smoked Mushroom Tortellini was a little too salty for my taste, but aside from that, I really enjoyed it! The mango pico and avocado creme on the beef empanadas was definitely a highlight--the sweetness and freshness paired so well with the savory beef. Such a delicious combination! The service was also amazing! Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. And the ambiance was such a vibe--beautiful, cozy, and perfect for a nice night out. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and would definitely come back to try more of the menu!

Criollas Pastries makes authentic handmade pastries from South America -- I highly recommend trying…read morethem! My wife found Criollas on Facebook. She's from Peru and she had cravings for some of her favorite childhood pastries, especially Alfajores. We ordered 3 kinds of pastries for a New Year's party. It was my first time trying all of them. They were GREAT! The sweet style pastries are quite a bit different from some of the traditional European-style pastries that we're all familiar with. Paola, the owner, is super friendly and charming. I had a blast talking to her when we picked up our order. She sells her pastries at several farmer's markets around the metro. She also delivers and caters special events. Finally, you can place an order on-line or over the phone and pick it up at her house. Paola operates the business out of her personal house on Gerard Avenue South in Minneapolis. So DON'T just show up at her front door unannounced. But she'll definitely schedule pickups at her house if it's convenient for you. Also, if you do a Google search, her address might come up in White Bear Lake. This is a commercial kitchen (not open to the public) where she makes all of her goodies. She's totally legal with all of the correct licensing, public health training, etc. I grilled her about this when first ordered from her...and she's good-to-go. My only (minor) gripe is her pastries are a little pricey. We got 3 dozen items (12 beef Empanadas and 24 sweet pastries) for $64.00. It was supposed to be $70. But we got a 6 dollar discount (50 cents each) because we wanted the Empanadas uncooked so we could cook them ourselves at our party. If you don't mind spending a little more money on something new, I highly recommend that you try them. You can call, e-mail, or message Paola...or find her at one of the farmer's markets in the summer. Try some Criollas Pastries -- yum!!! -Daddy Maxx Retro P.S. I wasn't sure exactly how to categorize Criollas so picked Latin American Restaurant -- Bakery -- Pop Up Restaurant.

Not knowing what…read moreto expect, we were transformed into the Dominican Republic the moment we stepped foot inside. Carefully designed and curated, the interior is wonderfully setup to mirror a little beach vibe. Ordering is done cafeteria style at a register. Menus are available to browse in advance. The staff is extremely polite, encouraging and helpful. The signs clearly advise that this is not a fast food spot (thank goodness) and that all orders are made fresh. Tables exist both inside and out. There is a grab your own water and silverware section. My group dined outside as we had a nice overcast day where it wasn't too hot or too cold. We sat at the adorable yellow table which had a lemon umbrella. Despite ordering inside, the staff will bring items to your table which was such a sweet gesture. We all loved our cubanos and will certainly be coming back. Thank you!!

I don't eat meat, so I was a little unsure walking in--but I am so glad I gave this place a chance!…read more This is a smaller spot in west St. Paul and it is authentic in the coolest way - I can't wait to revisit during the summer because their patio looks amazing! Spanish is my rusty second language and the staff smiled as they put up with me practicing, actively communicating and just overall making the whole experience awesome. Most of the existing reviews highlight the meat dishes (which looked amazing, to be fair), so I thought I'd share a vegetarian perspective. I got the vegetarian plate and all of the components were notably fresh and super flavorful. I am glad I asked if they had any hot sauce or salsa on my way out with my to-go order, because the salsa they provided was definitely the cherry on the top of my meal. The yuca fries were so fresh and perfectly fried, but not suuper favorable (as one would expect with most fried root vegetables). So I'd suggest pairing their awesome texture and freshness with a chosen form of sauce, salsa, etc. They are going to be a hit with any kids in your party, for sure! If you're vegetarian and hesitant to try a Cuban restaurant, this is your sign to go. And if you eat meat, you're probably already aware this place is a gem. I'll definitely be coming back!

We got the pepperoni pizza, the Messi, gluten-free humita and puerro empanadas, the fugazzetta, and the de la casa salad (huge, so much cheese, and even the candied pecans are made in house).

The staff were so warm and clearly proud of their culture, it made the whole experience feel authentic, not just another pizza spot. (Kevin and Ana are incredibly kind). Only downside was the building and patio were under construction so seating was a little tight, but that's temporary. Already planning my next visit to try the lunch special and their margarita!
