Hiding in plain sight on Washington St. is this little snack & coffee haven. Their name basically…read moresays it all because their menu basically consists of two things: lots of empanadas and a solid coffee menu. I got a few empanadas, the caprese being the favorite of the bunch and an iced americano. It was simple and very tasty. They have a few tables outside, along with a very limited seating at the window inside. Worth a stop if you are craving an empanada or a good snack.

We had gotten a spinach and cheese, rice and beans, mushroom, and cheese empanadas. The ones that were filled had a nice amount of filling in them. The cheese was a bit smaller and flat, but understandable as it is just cheese. The ladies that work there were kind and patient as we were choosing our flavors. It is a small space but they do have a couple of seats along the front window to sit. Excellent spot

Franklin, the owner, was very nice and steered me to some great choices. I got the beef and cheese and the beef chimichurri, both outstanding. I am saving my guava and cheese one for later but it also looks good. While the empanadas were delicious, the generous portions of sauce complemented quite nicely and kicked it up to another flavor level. The pink Siracha is creamy with a kick. The chimichurri sauce is very fresh with lots of garlic. You can pick up to three empanada and two sauce flavors for the meal. The store looks empty but if the door is open, walk in and someone will be out from the back. I had dogs in the car so i waited outside and Franklin was nice enough to bring the order out, as well as with my sunglasses which i had left on the counter. I will definitely be ordering from here many times to come.

The empanadas are made to order so expect a little wait. I thought it was on the expensive side, but it was a better empanada than some other places that barely put any meat. Flavors were good - next time i'd probably go with just cheesesteak and chimi sauce. Other things were just okay, probably wouldn't try them again. Friendly service, I'd stop by again when the craving hits.

She had the comprehension of a child, and no one wants to deal with this level of stupidity when simply order food. I said it in English and I said it in Spanish so it wasn't a language barrier, then she calls a manager wasting time im paying to park, to ask how to ring it up. Lady just charged me the $20 how is this request so difficult!?!?!? Just go to La Isla around the corner, the food is better and the staff can complete simple orders. Horrible and incompetent service!

The rice was also very delicious. Beans were very good and perfect consistency! The fruit juices were very good. My whole party each got a different flavor and we all very much liked them. Staff were friendly and quick to seat us. We unfortunately did have an issue with one of the original meals (the ropa vieja), and the server was quick to switch the meal for another and help us with this. Place is cute but crowded inside, so we opted to sit outside. Very cute seating with shade on the side tables. Prices were moderate for the food, nothing to complain about. Parking in the area is hard. It's an overpopulated town with street parking that is always full. If you do find street parking, walk down the whole block and read signs, they have odd street cleaning hours and signs are typically posted at the beginning of the street so you could miss it. I'd highly recommend this place!

We'll likely just get sandwiches in the future though, because the combos are basically deconstructed sandwiches and end up just being messy to eat. Clean, nice ambiance. Took off one star just because the waitresses weren't very attentive to us. They seemed to serve other customers before us time and time again, and we had to try very hard to flag someone down to get our complementary cups of orange juice, extra napkins and check. They aren't short staffed, we think they just preferred to interact with Spanish-speaking customers. Other than this service aspect, we really like it 10/10 and will be back.

Fresh bread, pastries, and baked goods that are incredibly affordable. I drive by all the time and there are always numerous cars double parked outside. Now I see what the commotion is about. The bread is great if you plan to eat it fresh or freeze for later. The Heroes and Portuguese Rolls are my favorites, and the prices are unbeatable. The Glazed Donut was a good try; it's more like a cake than a donut but would definitely pair well with a coffee. I saw the Empanadas on display and decided to try two. The Beef Empanada was pretty solid but the Chicken Empanada threw me off a bit with the carrots inside. With $10 in your pocket, you can walk out of here with so much! Highly recommend supporting this local business.

They sing happy birthday to you with instruments, making it a great place for a birthday celebrations. My favorite dishes: - empanadas (chicken or guava/cheese), the hot sauce on the side is SO good - pork tamale - garlic shrimp (comes with soft bread for dipping) - pitcher of white passion fruit sangria (way better than getting individual glasses) - skirt steak/churrasco - chicharron de pollo (crispy, juicy chicken bites)
