    We got the daily special which was Colombian sausage. It was okay, honestly it was a grease bomb. The dipping sauces were great tho. I wish we would have chose a different protein.

    I Love Empanadas is a true hidden gem in the Cargo District. From the first bite, you can tell these empanadas are made with care and serious flavor. The crust is perfectly golden and crisp, and the fillings are packed with bold, satisfying ingredients. The sauces take it to another level. They're the kind of extras you start craving on their own. The staff is super friendly, and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. It's the kind of place you go once and immediately start planning your next visit. If you're in Wilmington and want something quick, delicious, and made with love, this spot is a must.

    One of the best empanadas I've ever had. The sauces just add so much more goodness to it! But let me tell you the plantain chips!!!! Need I say more!

    A hidden gem in Wilmington ... a well kept secret of the locals …read more.. From the outside .. it looks like a road side hole in the wall but once youre in, its a whole new world ! Most people enter the bar entrance where the small patio area is .. but on the other side of the patio is the main entrance where you are created by the host stand .. You would never know how big this place is from the outside but once in... its like one of the hamster cage cages with never ending tunnels to different rooms/area... RSVP are definitely suggested since walkins are usually in Bar area or Patio area .. which isnt bad .. but its limited seating .. Staff here are cool but service can be a lil wait if they are busy . Menu is a Panamanian vibe with lots of good eats .. One of the salsas you must get is the Elote salsa its very nommm nommmm next would be the Goat Gauc which is equally amazing. The Ceviche is a must get ... yes get the Quattro which is 4oz of each one so you can sample all ! The scallops and pork belly of mash is pretty good but would be better over the coconut rice . The special of the day was a sheepshead filet over risotto which was pretty damn good ! The corvina was ok but was a little bit over done and ended up a lil drier than expected. Highly recommend asking for the homemade hot sauce ... its amazing and goes on everything! This is definitely a locals Hotspot and an interesting place to people watch... Will definitely comeback for sure .

    This is based on takeout***…read more Great vibe inside. Love the decor. Lobster ceviche is really good. Huge chunks in there and the flavor is great. The tortillas are really hard, difficult to eat and not very good though :( Ahi tuna was seared (not raw like I asked for) and the tortilla was burnt. Half wasn't edible... Coconut rice is sublime. Id go again but make different choices.
