    My husband and I tried this place for the first time ever having arepas. This place was amazing on…read moreall levels: food, service, ambiance). Our server was very nice and had great recommendations on what we should try for our first most authentic experience. We got the Tequenos (Cheese Sticks) as a starter and they were great dipped in the house sauce that came with it (a garlic sauce). For our entrees I got the Arepas Pabellon (Shredded beef, Sweet Plantains & Cheese minus the Black Beans) and my husband got the Arepa Cochinita (Shredded Pork, Lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese & house sauce). Both arepas were amazing, full of flavor and delicious. The meat is tender and flavorful. I highly recommend the beef. My husband said the pork was a little too salty but if you like salted meat you'll be fine (we are low sodium so a lot of things are too salty to us). The restaurant is a cozy size, clean and was decorated with lots of soccer stuff as we came during the FIFA World Cup. This place was amazing, very satisfying meal and highly recommended! We will definitely be back soon!

We used to love the food here until yesterday that was our last visit. Plus the food was soggy when it arrived.

    Gochi is a really nice spot for a date night, but it's also a great place to go with friends or…read morefamily. The atmosphere feels very traditionally Japanese, and taking off your shoes before entering the dining area adds to the experience. The servers were all friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was also really good. My highlights were the ceviche with their homemade potato chips, along with both the braised and grilled beef tongue. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. I noticed a lot of tables ordering the claypot rice dishes, so those seem to be popular. I'll definitely be coming back to try them next time.

    We were seated at 8:35pm. and told we needed to order immediately because it was last call. Our…read morefood arrived at 8:50, but at 9:05, just 15 minutes later, we were told to box everything up and leave. We were never informed before ordering that we would have only 15 minutes to eat. Had we known, we would not have stayed. I understand that the restaurant closes at 9:00 and that the staff wanted to go home, especially on a Saturday night. However, if customers are seated and allowed to order shortly before closing, they should be given a reasonable amount of time to finish their meal. Many restaurants allow customers at least 30 minutes after closing to finish eating when their orders are accepted that late. At the very least, the required departure time should have been clearly communicated before we ordered. I raised the issue with the manager, she was dismissive and showed little empathy. I hope the owner reads this and changes the closing protocol so future customers are treated with better communication and consideration.

I thought it would be hard to search Mexican restaurants one by one to pick out the ones that serve empanadas; I was wrong. One easy search and BAE pops up. I was very happy to arrive at a private parking lot instead of looking for street parking or desperately searching for a parking structure. BAE is clean, organized, and neat; the interior is more like a cafe than a messy mom-and-pop restaurant. The empanadas are clearly displayed on the cashier's side, each with a label underneath. There are corners decorated for selfies or simply a good mood cheering. Overall, it's visually appealing. We ordered the Chicken and Mushroom, Potato Egg and Cheese, and Bacon Egg and Cheese. The cashier was polite and offered us some sauce choices. They are $0.5 each. We chose Tsatziki which has Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil and dill. It wasn't our cup of tea. We chose take out and each empanada was nicely warmed, wrapped and clearly labeled in each paper. The empanadas I would rate them in this order: potato egg and cheese, chicken mushroom, bacon egg and cheese. The Potato Egg and Cheese has diced onions inside, but it's soft and warm, very balanced in flavor and texture. Top notch comfort food. The Chicken and Mushroom filling was creamier than I thought. I was not expecting a white cream cheese element in it, nevertheless, chunky chicken and mushroom slices are solid. I was most disappointed at Bacon Egg and Cheese. It was too salty and the egg looked and tasted like those overcooked dry breakfast eggs from Comfort Inn breakfast where it came out from some kind of liquid egg box. In summary, location, service, interior 4 star; food 3.5 stars.
