I had the Spicy Beef and the Lomo Al Verdejo which is their specialty. I liked the Spicy Beef a lot. I expected the Lomo Al Verdejo to be more flavorful than it actually was. They mark the Empanadas with their brand and provide the option of buying Empanadas to reheat at home. It turns out that one of my brothers found this place by accident as well. He loves Empanadas so the two of us went back for some more. The restaurant has a few tables inside and a couple of tables outside. There is no table service.

This little empanada shop is located in West Sunrise bordering Weston. An entire place dedicated…read moreto only empanadas and I was told to check it out by a few friends. Upon entering there were a couple tables and wall bar seating. Contact was immediately made with the sole employee, Erica, who was very friendly and explained the empanada options and provided me with a togo menu. Everything sounded delish but of course I went with the spicy beef for $3.79 - which is an average price. The other menu options were Humita, Ground Beef, Chicken and Knife-Cut Beef. I paid Erica and then slight confusion and dissatisfaction set in. The all too common box pull from the giant freezer where Erica removed one empanada and placed it into the oven. Upon my interest she advised me that the frozen empanadas are sent to the store about every two days to sell. In addition, they advertise from 10 $26 to 50 $115 empanadas, "Frozen directly from the freezer to oven, without dishes, without utensils, for all tastes" for big orders parties catering ect. I get the simple concept, but do you lose the bake, oven, eat taste? They also have sweet empanadas - apple cinnamon and dulce de leche for $3.79. Breakfast too - Omelette or Guave & Cheese $3.79. Offer Vegan options too - Vegan Arab, Somozas and Spinach also $3.79. My taste decision on empanadas alone at best is average, although, the perfectly small menu and the super low prices where every item on the menu is $3.79 really entices me to rate higher than normal. This top notch bathroom (very important) was so beautiful with the quaint bench and sparkling clean. I was praying for something great to happen upon first bite into the crispy shell. Well, Erica had her sights on me after our brief frozen food conversation. The shell was very crispy and the beef was smoking hot, moist and average tasting but not very spicy. Im gonna come back with the wife for another try at this shop and try the Sweet Apple Cinnamon Empanada. A strong 3.3 star rating today and hope to update it on my next adventure here.

I liked the football/soccer memorabilia inside and there was plenty of comfortable seating. The food was fresh and served hot. I loved the spinach empanadas!

I came in on a Sunday morning around 10am and it was super crowded, which was a good sign. Despite the crowd, the line moved fast and my order came out really quickly. They have more matcha flavors than anywhere else I've seen, so it was a hard choice. I ended up going with the marshmallow, and I'm super happy with my choice. The matcha and marshmallow flavors were both strong and complemented each other well. They have a pastry case that I completely missed because it's around the corner, or I might have tried something there too. I love the cute animal decor as well, and I don't believe they charged extra for alternative milks, which is always huge bonus points for me. I'll definitely be back to try other flavors and maybe an empanada!

I would recommend this as a good place to chat with a friend over a space for studying or working. Especially because I found the staff lovely and conversational. Their prices are far more reasonable than many other local coffee shops nearby which was definitely a major plus. I enjoyed the lavender latte, but would probably only get it hot in the future, and would try a different iced latte flavor. The spicy chicken empanada was delicious and I would definitely get it again. It had a nice curry sauce inside (though it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be). The ham and cheese sandwich was also surprisingly good. Though simple, they tasted like quality ingredients.

P-MG, after reading your review, I honestly wondered if we even visited the same restaurant. Your…read moreexperience sounds like the plot of a completely different movie. Our visit was outstanding. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly homemade. The Argentinian empanadas were excellent, the Americano breakfast and omelet were fantastic, and dessert was the perfect finish. More importantly, the service was exceptional. The mother and son made us feel like guests in their home, not just another table. You waited 32 minutes? Good food made from scratch sometimes takes time. I'd rather wait for a fresh meal than get something thrown together in five minutes. As for the "healthy food" comment, that wasn't an excuse it was an explanation. Not everything has to be drowning in butter, salt, or grease to taste good. Maybe the restaurant wasn't the problem. Sometimes when someone goes looking for something to complain about, they'll always find it. Judging by your review, it seems like nothing would have made you happy that day. We'll gladly keep coming back. Great food, great people, and a restaurant that deserves its reputation not one dramatic review trying to convince everyone otherwise.

The food also came out really quickly, so I truly don't think the issue was the kitchen or how busy the restaurant was. The food was incredible -- truly the highlight of the entire experience. Everything I ordered was packed with flavor, and the margarita was incredible as well. The ambiance was also great and made for a really enjoyable atmosphere. I would've loved to finish with some flan, but my server never came back. I ended up having to ask another server for extra onions and even had to ask them for my check. It was disappointing because the food was so amazing and the experience had the potential to be perfect. I also can't really speak on whether it's "authentic" Cuban food or not, and I'm not sure why that's the main thing people focus on -- what I can say is that the food was absolutely delicious. The flavors were on point, and I'd definitely come back hoping for a more attentive service experience next time.
