In Reading I get my Beef & Cheese Empanadas from PABAVANY FOOD MARKET. They are well seasoned, fresh and around $1.50 an empanada. You can expect pretty much the same here as you would expect from any inner city latin Grocery/convenience/food-mart/bodega.

Don't get me wrong, the other food items tasted great, however the chicken was clearly charcoaled to death and probably not safe to eat. It was burnt but seasoned well. Still not an excuse to serve people visibly burnt food. Disgusting and disappointing service on their end. Also, I paid for corn bread, which they forgot to give me, even though I paid for it!

We've done this for three years already and everyone loves the food. We ordered the chicken and pork legs which are extremely juicy and tender, especially the chicken. The first time we went to PA we stumbled across El papi restaurant and we were curious what the food tasted like. The lady helping us was so sweet and let us try some of the food which was the pork leg. That was the first time we ordered for a holiday. The restaurant changed a lot in looks and now looks even more clean and organized.

They took our orders and asked if we needed or wanted any other appetizers or if we wanted to dine. We just ordered these beef, cheese and chicken empanadas with a few sodas. The fritters were crispy and well filled. They all were seasoned well and the chicken was not dry. The restaurant is clean and I saw them wiping everything down. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely try more menu items.

On top of that, they also provide a few sauces: brown beef gravy, green chimichurri-like sauce, yellow mostly sweet honey mustard, Italian dressing for the salad.

After I thought we confirmed it, realized they left out my tres leches but glad we checked before finalizing the order. The cashier lady was very kind in fixing it right away and also explaining what was all in the platter.

I ordered the original pork mofongo with a side salad. The monfongo was seasoned well but was missing the crunch of the pork rinds. My partner ordered the white rice & beans with chicken wings. He enjoyed the beans & rice - unfortunately the wings were bland & you could taste the overused oil.
