The menu and everything in the display cases looked so appetizing, we had such a difficult time choosing what to order! We started with BEC sandwiches - they were made really well on delicious toasted rolls - my only complaint was the Kraft American cheese singles. Please upgrade the cheese and it will make the world of a difference to the meal!! I also had a hot tea with some pastries we got: Oreo cheesecake and an ombligo with a custard filling - absolutely delicious and perfectly sweetened. The inside decor was very nice and offered comfy soft seating to dine in with. I will definitely make a drive up soon from Norwalk to enjoy some more!

We tried the beef and the spinach/mushroom empanadas, a chocolate filled pastry and the alfajores. The empanadas were the proper baked Argentinian version. I thought the beef was very tasty but it lacked the chopped olive I associate with the Argentinian style. La Portena had no complaints about her spinach/mushroom version. The alfajores came in three sizes, something I did not realize when ordering. I would not repeat my order of the large size, the ratio of cookie to filling being off. The medium looked about right. The best item was a chocolate filled pastry, similar to a croissant that I had the next day. Flaky and light, it revealed some skill in the baking.

The bar area is nice and the seating area isn't the biggest but it gives a more intimate experience. I had the street corn to start and although I'm a fan of on the cob it was still just as good off and the chips to dip with were so good too. Then I got the barria tacos with queso. I tell you those were the best barria tacos I've ever had. I'm not really a dessert guy but the service was so great that I was convinced into getting the tres leches and it did not disappoint.

She let me try both beef stew and pepper steak meat to help me decide. The beef was juicier than the steak, but the steak had more flavor. I ended up getting pepper steak with yellow rice, plátano maduros, and a Brazilian soda. The plátano portion was type small and the rice was disappointedly mushy and bland. For the guarana soda, I was instantly addicted. If I ever come here again I would try a whole different meal and avoid their rice.

I was very surprised to find a Latin style eatery in a food court. This is similar to the cafeteria style of ordering. And most of available options are right in front of you in the steam table. Typical offerings with the standard white and yellow rice and bean, bbq ribs,chicken roasted and fried, beef stew,pork and yucca soup,salad,roasted pork shoulder,empanadas There are a few items that can be made to order as well, such as the tostones. It was about 1:30 and the food was pretty fresh and tasty. Only wish they add some juices to the pork which tends to be a bit dry.

Warm, clean and casual place away from the traffic and hustle of downtown. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. We ordered 3 empanadas to start: chicken, beef, and the El Pueblito, beans, rice, sweet plantains, pork rind. All were good, but really loved the El Puebilto. Coarse corn meal coating really accentuated all of the delicious fusion of flavors within. Super. 2 simple salads of iceberg lettuce, onions, shredded carrots started off the feast. Perfect. Next up was the Bandejita Vegetariana: rice, beans, 2 eggs, sweet fried plantains, avocado and corn cake. I was missing avocado, but did not even realize until later as this is a filling meal! Rice cooked perfectly, beans had nice flavor. My dining partner had a pork cutlet, beans, rice, sweet plantains, salad. Loved the seasoning and crunchiness of the cutlet. Generous portions at most reasonable prices. Relaxed, inviting restaurant which I recommend trying.

For starters we had an empanada made from plantain, it was very good, made better with a sauce they gave us. Next we shared a plate called Picada which was various types of fried meats which was excellent. It contained pork, chicken, beef and a type of sausage. It was served with tostones (fried green plantains). The serving was huge. We loved most of it, except for the beef, personally I like it more rare and it was over done. The restaurant has an extensive menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner options. When you enter don't be surprise if it looks like a corner store, they do have tables set up to eat in or takeout.

Place is small, clean and comfortable. Parking is tricky. Ok enough about the establishment, let's chat food. So I ordered the fried steak with rice and beans but substituted the beans with avocado. When my food came out, it was like a 5 course meal. Seriously too much food for one person but hey a girl's got to eat - so not complaining because I definitely eat. This dish also came with an empanada (made with green plantains and dough mixture, tasted like oh so sweet butter!) Different from other empanadas and pastilles but in a good way. My lunch amigas ordered vegetarian option for empanada and Ecuadorean version of tamales. And banana plantain stuffed with crumbled cheese. Next time, we will make room for dessert and will continue this review for sure!
