An enthusiastic THUMBS UP for La Tranquera. They were rather full on a Sunday afternoon, and yet…read morethey seated us anyway at a great table. The empanadas were amazing! I grew up eating my aunt's empanadas, and I thought I knew how empanadas should taste. As soon as La Tranquera's empanadas arrived at our table, I forgot every other empanada I have ever eaten. These delicious, light and airy pockets of perfection are the new standard for me. We had one of each flavor, and while they were all incredible, the carne criolla one was my favorite. We also had a delicious bowl of samorejo, a creamy, cold tomato soup with tiny pieces of jamon and delicate slices of hard boiled egg. First time for me, but I am a convert. Great food, friendly service, welcoming atmosphere. All in all, a wonderful experience.

The fillings were even better, so many different interesting flavors to try and seasoned just right. Whimsical was a favorite among us, savory with a hint of sweet and sour from the tomato. Oxtail was rich and tender. Good old ham and cheese was also a favorite for the kids. Moroccan chicken had a such unique blend of spices and a hint of sweet.

The truffle fries with parmesan had no truffle oil and the fries were dismally cooked and under seasoned. Grilled vegetables were just soaked in oil and unpleasant to eat.

We started with a dish of artichokes served with romanescu sauce, and also had a roasted potato topped with herbs. Three of us shared a delicious aged Finnish steak -- but note that the cooking levels are lower than you might expect - we asked for medium rare and medium, and the steak came what I would have called rare and medium rare. Still, very tasty, with flecks of fleur de sel to bring out the flavor. Nafisa had the grilled Argentine ribeye, and Abe had nice small Argentine sausages called criollitos. Croquettes with ground beef and with sausage were also good

The next course was a mixed meat dish with fried cheese, baked potatoes and 2 spiced meat empanadas. Then dessert was a medley of sweets and cheese.

The owner and his sin were there waiting on is and cooking. So nice! I wish we were staying longer so we could go there again!!
