I've read numerous reviews raving about how delicious the empanadas are here. They're just ok. They fill the belly. They're nothing to write home about. I truly feel as if the empanadas have been "watered down" to suit the local clientele. Empanadas, truly awesome, delicious empanadas, are savory and seasoned beautifully. Then again, I'm not from Brazil. Maybe this is how empanadas taste in Brazil. If so, bravo, but I'm not paying $4.75 for one. But, the food in a nutshell: the guava and cheese have more cheese than guava. The chicken in the chicken empanada was chewy, but the taste was good. The cheese bread I can get from Trader Joe's - tastes the same and I don't have to wait 20 minutes.

Anyway, the lobby has really nice furniture and walked in to hear people speaking the same quick Venezuelan Spanish that mi padrastro speaks, so I figured I was in for good food! Service was friendly and the prices were quite reasonable. The empanadas were large and crispy. The filling was subtly flavored, which is very Venezuelan - NO SPICE! I was a bit disappointed with the service however. I order a pastelita and finished both empanadas needles it came out. I asked the waitress to cancel it. The food I had was good, but I don't appreciate having to cancel a dish because it's taking too long.

Came for dinner while in town. Super cute restaurant, great lighting, seating, and bar area. Our…read morewaiter was very friendly, giving us great recommendations and great to talk with. The meal started with complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered a mezcal margarita (fruta picanta) and my friend got a mango cocktail (mangasa). I liked mine a lot, my friend didn't care for the tajin rim on hers, and the waiter offered to replace it, but she stuck with it and liked it in the end. There were so many great sounding things on the menu, with gluten free and vegetarian options. We ended up splitting the calabaza- an acorn squash stuffed with mushroom risotto and also the wild mushroom tostada. The calabaza was great for winter, warm and filling. The tostada was lighter but really delicious, it was probably my favorite of the two. It was a great dinner, that I would definitely visit again if I'm back in town.

For our entrees we tried the Barbacoa Tacos and Blackened Fish(Tilapia) tacos. Both entrees were 21.00 for 3 tacos but no rice or beans on the side so a little pricey in my opinion. Street parking is a challenge but they do offer valet for 5.00. They have a fantastic patio that is open in the summer so we will definitely be back to enjoy a few cocktails and Latin American eats.

It was a 75 minute drive but it was worth it for them. I called to check what time it closed and was told 9pm so we decided to arrive at 8 for dinner. When we got there apparently there was a mix up and they actually closed at 730 ! Well thanks to Yesenia she made it all better. They kept the restaurant open for us and made sure that we were able to have an amazing meal. Now that alone should merit the 5 stars. But the food was amazing Cuban food. The steak and onions were savory and paired great with the rice and sweet plantains. The pork was on point and from a fellow Cuban that's a high praise. Desserts were delicious and The mojitos were the perfect blend of sweet and minty. Thank you Yesenia for making us Santigueros so very happy and welcome. Will definitely be back for that oxtail.

This restaurant is a combination of Thai and a Japanese izakaya. We ordered the chicken skin, pad Thai, basil chicken stir fry, tom yum, and mango sticky rice. The chicken skin and the basil chicken came out first and they were amazing! The sweet dipping sauce with the chicken skin really pulls it together. We got level 2 spicy (out of 5) for the basil chicken and it did not have a single kick of spice but it was still very yummy and flavorful. As for the other entrees, we were very disappointed. The pad Thai tasted like BBQ sauce rather than pad Thai. The seasoning was very off putting. The tom yum was good but more on the sweeter side with my friends and I were not fond of. For dessert we got mango sticky rice. The sticky rice was warm and soft, and the mangoes were sweet and tart! Great combination of both especially with the coconut.
