If you live in the Croton or Ossining area, I highly recommend stopping by for their chicken or beef empanadas. My personal favorite around. Works out to around $2.60 per empanada. Delicious vinegar based hot sauce as well!

This is Cuban food your abuela - and in Annarella's case, her dear Mima - would make for you. (And many of the recipes are hers) Everything on their menu is good. Seriously, you can't go wrong: Mima's daily specials, empanadas, the De Todito Pollo chicken sandwich, Mima's croquetas, the oxtail sandwich, the Cuban sandwich & medianoche, the vaca frita fries (yes, if I lived closer, I'd be even chunkier for sure!) and one of my cravings, the Elena Ruz (a classic Cuban treat of turkey, cream cheese and strawberry jam - it just works!) Important to note: "Asi viene el sandwich meng!" Please don't ask for modifications on anything they make - just trust them and have the true experiencia cubana - they know what they're doing. :) It's a sweet, tiny spot with a cute counter to enjoy your feast. They also have great fruit batidos (shakes) - mango, fruta bomba (papaya) and mamey -- all delicious and made fresh. They'll also make a cafecito for you - all part of the most lovely, authentic Cuban experience you'll ever have for many miles. Dale!

The space is small and cute with a counter to eat and appears to be very clean. The owner (I think the woman is the owner) is super friendly. The food is all reasonably priced and is fantastic. Went with ropa vieja, cuban sandwich, empanada, and the pudding dessert. It's one of those places that after you leave you text ppl in the area telling them they have to come here.

There are two huge TV's on the wall facing the tables and one TV above the bar. I ordered the rotisserie chicken and specifically asked for white meat. It was juicy, perfectly cooked, the skin with slightly crispy and tastes sooooo good. My meal surprisingly came with 2 sides of my choice. I chose the Chaufa and plantains. The chaufa is Peruvian style fried rice that is flavored with a bit of soy sauce, ginger, scallions and scrambled egg. Delish!!!!! A must try. You can even order the Chaufa as a stand alone dish with whatever meat you want inside. :-) The plantains were my least favorite. Because they are super sweet and soggy. I like a crunch and sort of carmelized look. There's a Purple CornLemonade drink that is supposedly really good. But I didn't take a chance on it. Despite the owner offering me the opportunity to try it and take it back if I don't like it. I had to opt out. Because I'm on a lemonade and limeade kick right now. They are my preferred drinks of choice at the moment. But Hey!!! I'd like you to encourage you to try it.

Parking was available outside and when I walked in there were no customers inside. The space was dimly lit but seemed clean. I was eventually greeted by a woman, though there was a bit of a language barrier. I was able to communicate through another staff member, so it worked out. I ordered the large bistec burrito, which came out to about $13 with tax. That is pretty standard pricing right now. One thing I did notice right away was that they no longer had the meat spindle like they used to, which was a little disappointing. The food came out quickly, within about five minutes, and the portion size was solid for the price. Unfortunately, the flavor did not match expectations. It was just okay. The meat was not very well seasoned and had some fatty pieces that took away from the overall experience. The sauces were good, but nothing that stood out. Maybe it was an off day or maybe I should have tried something different like the tacos or cecina. Hard to say, but based on this visit, it did not live up to what I remembered and I am not sure I would recommend it right now.

There was nice attention to detail in the making of the burrito, and it had a variety of upgraded items included like Oaxaca cheese and avocado, as well as fresh vegetables.

Besides almost every table full at 1:15 lunch...including the back room and it is a large restaurant. We were seated without a wait. Took longer to navigate the huge menu. Hubby and I just wanted a light lunch. He ordered the chicken wings and I ordered the "fish" sandwich w/o cheese. Unfortunately, I was served the chicken sandwich not the requested fish sandwich. It still came with avacado, onions, tomato and lettuce. (No cheese as requested). Once I took a bite I realized I had the wrong sandwich. I was disappointed. Waiter apologized and offered to switch it up...I can see he felt bad and we were not quite sure where we both messed up...could have been me? Him? Not a big deal...I just kept it and enjoyed. Chicken was slighty dry (cheese would have fixed the dryness) but seasoned perfectly. It was a large sandwich with two layers of thin grilled chicken. I would split it next time. I like the way it was served...wrapped in a paper. I requested un-seasoned fries and my request was honored. It was all a generous portion. The restaurant is high energy, food around us all looked delicious and fresh, cocktails looked really good...I wanted to taste the cappuccino martini next to us...tempting to order one. Service was timely, friendly and efficient. Noise level a tad high however it was easy enough to carry on a conversation. Overall, I understand the reason this place was so busy...definately a solid fun place...wish it were on my neighborhood as I enjoy exploring different dishes. Thumbs up for sure.

You'll find El Artesano Empanads in the Sir John Plaza next to Violetta Nails. While tiny, they offer some outside seating along with two high top tables inside. Guys...the food was DELICIOUS. I ordered their viral steak sandwich, churros, and of course, their empanadas. The steak sandwich was INCREDIBLE. I intended to share it with my fiancé however he's not eating bacon and they were not able to make a sandwich without it (Which was not a problem for me, so I was happy to have this sandwich all to myself ). Expert tip: add cheese. It was incredibly flavorful and seasoned perfectly! For the empanadas I decided to get a box of 6, as they have SO MANY FLAVORS! (See video). All were delicious and we were given a yummy chipotle and chimichurri sauce to dip. $ of course we had to get dessert; so we got the churros that were served with a chocolate and dulce de leche sauce. INCREDIBLE!! The lady who took my order was kind and helpful as I navigated all the choices. I am so happy I found this little gem so close to my house! I will definitely be back soon!

Today I received a different side sauce: red pepper and jalapeño, which are totally different than the one they had before. Previously the side sauce was more similar to chimichurri. Though the new sauce is not common to the flavors of South America, I like better. My favorite is the jalapeño and is spicy. They take a few minutes to warm up the empanadas and the times I was there it was not busy. The indoor seating area is small and still seems cozy. I usually order to go. I believe when the weather is warmer they also have some outdoor seating. They also offered pizza before but I learned today they don't anymore.
