Been waiting for them to sell these again. I've also had the beef and buffalo which were delicious as well. They also include sauces but I can go without them because of all the flavor packed in one empanada!! YUM. They gave me the option to buy a pack frozen or freshly made (pre orders). I've had both options and loved the frozen option because I can just pop them in the air fryer or on a pan and whenever I'm craving some of their empanadas! Highly recommend getting trying their empanadas. Definitely will be a crowd pleaser at parties :)

It feels like a warm hug from your grandma when you're eating these, so I can understand why they are Buelas empanadas! My favorite are the ground meat ones and the buffalo chicken ones but honestly all of their flavors have been amazing! Their customer service has been impeccable each time I've ordered, and you feel good about supporting this business due to how great they treat you! These have become my go to for any potluck or get together, as they are a party favorite each time I've brought them! Please give them a try, you won't be disappointed! Ps: I wished they bottled their sauces because I'd slather everything in them! Haha

It was made to order (not sitting around on a burner all day or made the night before). I REALLY appreciate that because I know it's extra effort. It was very good. Needed a little salt and I forgot to ask for some sauces to go with it (assuming they have sauces for this). It was quite warm inside, but not surprising considering it was around 100°F outside (WTF) but I noticed they have lots of seating and lots of food options on the menu and in the display cases. Will definitely come back!

My daughter and I were on our way to find some food and by our luck we saw the billboard Casera! We looked at the menu and were taking it back it was a Colombian/Peruvian restaurant it had messed up both worlds ! Lomo Saltado , Bandeja Paisa, Arepas, Alfajores, Buñuelos, Pilsen Callao, Postobon, Inka Kola! Every Peruvian in Colombian dream when it comes to food! We had a Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian staple! They knocked it out of the park! A lot of places miss the Mark but this place got it just right the flavors were great the meat was just tender with a side of rice and the fries it was just perfect! Had an Arepa con Queso because yes! Pilsen Callao to wash it down with! Also had a chat with the owner who had a similar backstory like mine half Colombian half Peruvian from New York and now resides in San Diego! So if you're in Oceanside and you want a great place to have lunch or dinner, look no further than Casera!

I have been contemplating writing this review but it must be done…read more This place has significantly gone down the drain. The food use to be good, but slowly has been declining. We went there last week 8/12/26 4pm. I ordered the combo with a fish taco and chile relleno. I immediately noticed that the sauce on the chilie relleno was lumpy and congealed, it looked like mucus. The cheese inside was partly melted and partly hard. The fish taco was absolutely disgusting, it was mushy and soggy and oily. My brother ordered the carne asada plate (I didn't take pictures of that) it was literally a small piece of shoe leather, it tasted like freezer burn. Beans tasted like they had been reheated numerous days in a row.The prices for these plates were ridiculous. I hope that they do better. I hope that they change their food back to the way it was. If not, I'm afraid they will not last very much longer. Note: the service was good. Poor Gal was so embarrassed and so apologetic. Not her fault that management doesn't follow up on what's being served. Do better please.

You can get your coffee with agave or natural sugar if you need sweetness. Plus they sell yummy empanadas which is perfect for breakfast! If coffee is not your thing there are tea drinks and hot chocolate too. On rainy days hot chocolate is free (it rained today). Services is super friendly and accommodating! As this is more of a to ho shop, there are no tables. Outside of the shop there is a bar that you can stand up and drink at. Parking lot available too which is a bonus as so close to the beach! I will definitely be back for my caffeine and empanada fix!

There was ample parking due to this area being a strip mall type of establishment. I headed to the food court area and stumbled on El Cubano. I decided to choose a go-to item, the Ropa Vieja and I got it with white rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. A salad also came with the plate. Everything had a nice flavor to it. I really enjoyed the ropa vieja. I just wished there was a bigger portion because I'm a growing boy lol. I will for sure return to try some of their other items.

It isn't - it's akin to Hawaiian food or Polynesian Food with its sauces, carbs, and protein options. We loved our visit! The food here was so good. It was admittedly on the heavier side, but it was very satisfying. We were really sad we didn't get another opportunity to visit. We got: Guam Bomb - Definitely order this! It's loaded fries with grilled chicken, spicy mayo, cheese, onions, and bbq sauce. It was so good and savoury. Beef Rib Plate - This was great too! It came with an interesting soy sauce-esque dip and it went well with the red rice, and macaroni salad it had. We really wanted the pork belly but sadly they ran out that day.
