It's just off Allisonville and 96th, with plenty of parking. We could tell right away that there was only one staff member working the register and the grill and the tables (apparently other staff had called off), so we knew there might be a little wait. He kept apologizing, but honestly it did not take that long to get our food. And the food is such a #yum! (Because of a Yelp item, I had a free Pabellon Arepa - it had a really good size portion of shredded beef, beans, cheese, and, my favorite, sweet plantains.) But outside of that, my husband was with me and we ordered more food: The Don Luis bowl (chicken fajita with rice & beans), and a side of fried yuca. We also got a side of tequenos - the delicious little fried cheese sticks wrapped in a thicker dough. Everything was tasty, and we have enough leftovers that I have lunch the next two days! #yum #ReviewsByRL

Fried sweet plantains are one of my favorite things (and what I miss most about living in Miami may years ago...) So this weekend I finally decided to stop there. How fun to realize that half of the bus is also tables for an actual sit-in dining experience?! What a cute, unique experience. Also I learned they are closed Sunday & Monday, but otherwise there in the week for lunch through dinner. I got there at a perfect time - I was the only person. But they shortly got several more customers as I was there. I was really just going to order fried sweet plantains, but I decided to get the "vegan arepa" with is an arepa with black brands, avocado, and the friend sweet plantains. ($11.50) I'm not vegan / I eat meat, but that combination looked appealing today and would also get me some of the sweet plaintains that I was craving. I got it to go, and it came with a little side of a nice crème sauce, and a little side of red sauce that I very quickly learned was ghost pepper! Which I don't see mention of on the menu, but I heard the other patrons in the bus talking about it. (I will say, I did save the rest of that little contianer ... gonna suffer wth it on some other food, too ...) The food was a #yum! Definitely next time going to go all-in on the sweet plantains, too. #ReviewsByRL

Here is my review. Do you remember the name of restaurant? Was it Azucar Morena?…read more The cashier convinced me that MINI empanadas would be great if I ordered 4 chicken and 2 beef empanadas. My friend and I decided to split a $8 order of one of each kind - chicken, cheese and beef. I was told it would be about 3" long. However, I regret paying $1.33 each. The sizes might add up to $4 for a whole but they did not wow me at all. So, I have to give 2 stars.

The fries were a little dry with good crunch which I have not had before. The chimichurri sauce that came with it was a little watered down and underwhelming. The chicken was juicy and the arepa was delicious with the pico added. Nice place. Good to see variety options in The Garage. A little pricier than I believe it should have been but happy to support local.

TLDR: Love it. Visited today for breakfast with a friend, and it wasn't busy when I arrived, but was surprised at how many people arrived as we ate. It was a workday, and I thought there might be some breakfast meetings taking place, but the crowd trickled in a bit later as the morning lingered. Coffee options abound. As do smoothies and 'wellness shots' which aren't my thing but if you'd like a shot of healthy greens and a spice I've never heard of, enjoy! I had black coffee and it tasted better than most breakfast shots. They have a wide variety of lattes and other fancy custom options like the strawberry shortcake latte, etc. Ordered the breakfast burrito (sausage) and it was very good. I think I had the hangover burrito before (same thing but with gravy on top) and would opt for that one again next time. I had the strawberry banana pancakes at a prior visit as well, and remember them fondly. My dining companion had biscuits and gravy and said they were good. He is a man of few words. For dinner, they have a great menu that is 'latin flavors' as they say - everything from traditional Mexican food you'd find elsewhere to Argentinian options and more. They have great food. On a nice day, the patio is great other than the street traffic noise. This is a great option if you're wanting to get away from the other Mexican restaurants in town but still want something along those lines.

I cant wait to try their empanadas one day. My only complaint is they dont come to the west side of town and are rarely downtown which is primarily where I am.

We each ordered the shredded chicken empanada - I chose peppers and cheese for mine, while she got the same with added onions. You can choose between a regular or jumbo size for the empanadas.

The chicken could have used a bit more seasoning, but I appreciated how hot and fresh everything was.

We got the choclo that we've desperately been trying to recreate since our trip to Colombia.. the gulas grill version while not perfect was a decent substitute. This was the only item that dint hit the mark.. the rest of the food was delicious. My husband loved his carne asada enough to call them and ask if they'd sell the marinated meat to grill at home! The patacones were crisp and topped generously with fresh cheese. The yucca fries were good too and all the portions huge. Definitely trying the other things on their menu soon!

Haven't had any further problems with the hosts lately, so that warrants a 5 star review.

The server was great; she was friendly and knowledgeable. The whole staff was nice and helpful. The layout of the restaurant is pretty cool too. I liked the layout of the bar. I removed a star though because I asked for hot sauce and they charged me! What?!?!? I've ordered food with hot sauce or sriracha sauce at restaurants all over town and I've never been charged for it. That's like charging someone for adding ketchup to a burger. So that got on my nerves, but other that, it was a great meal and experience.
