I've been able to enjoy their empanadas at a variety of farmers/flea markets and was excited to see they had a brick & mortar as well! I have only tried the ready to eat options which were absolutely flavorful, crispy and delicious. They do have a small amount of seating here but it appears to mainly be a takeout spot. The staff is really nice and offered recommendations to me. Overall, this is a great spot to grab a snack or a quick lunch. Pro-tip, make sure to try their chimichurri sauce with your empanada selections it really elevates it!

It is pretty close to the Asian market, Lotte. Plenty of seats to choose from. Staffs were super friendly and made sure that we were taken care of. The menu provides a lot of options and I can already tell that we'll be coming back here to try their lunch. We came here for a brunch date instead of a later date. I got their Mocha coffee and my husband got their Latte coffee. BOTH were delicious! I don't remember the order that we hand (since 2 months have passed) but I know the food came out pretty quick and def had their presentation of the dish. The food was delicious and we both enjoyed our dishes very much. Parking is pretty tight there but worth it. You won't regret trying this place!

The pulled pork had no flavor at all until you added the hot sauce that was on the table. If you don't want hot sauce, you just get to eat plain white bread pulled pork. (The hot sauce was maybe the best thing on the table besides the black beans...) Every single damn dish was covered in chopped sweet peppers; completely unnecessary and what are they trying to hide? Couldn't even taste the empanadillas because they had so much crema all over them...that should be on the side so we could actually taste the food . The steak was OK (not Cuban in any recognizable way) but the very smallest portion possible....for a "special" that we paid extra for, we expected it to be special in some way. And the platanos...THE PLATANOS...super over-fried and dry as a bone with no flavor, no salt, no nothing. We left a huge dish of them on the table. The key lime tart barely had any lime flavor. The flan was lumpy! The "tres leches" cake is just plain yellow sheet cake with simple marshmallow frosting.

My partner and I both got their steak offerings with myself getting a steak chimichanga and him getting a steak burrito. They were both oozing with flavor, we both made audible "yum" sounds as we took our first bites and then laughed at how this food made us have a cartoon moment. The fries and beans sides were also good although the fries were our favorite, the menu doesn't offer this as a side for meals but our server was able to make the substitution. We left feeling super lucky that lovely family restaurants like this exist and that we got to experience their food. Can't reccomend this spot enough, they truly care about what they are putting out and it shows. If thats not enough to convince you they also give you free chips and salsa!

Wow! I've never in my life come back to change my review, but this warranted it…read more Our last visit was so wonderful, we made a special trip from the Southside for dinner. When we got to the parking lot a little before 8 tonight, we were worried because the entire parking lot was full. The cars must have been for someone else because when we went in, there were only customers in 2 booths. There were several employees standing in the corner in the back that saw us come in, so we took a booth thinking they would be with us in a minute. BOY WERE WE WRONG! There were two women I assume were waitresses there. One stayed in the back, which I am thankful for, because the girls at Hooters wear more clothing than she had on. The other walked by us to another customers table, walked back to the kitchen, came back with a to go box for the customer, walked back by us to resume conversation with the other people standing there, a FIFTH PASS to go back to that table and pick up plates, back by us to the kitchen, back to the table to pick up glasses, back to the kitchen with the dirty glasses, and yes, another pass to go wipe down the table. In case you are counting, as I started to after the 4th pass, that is TEN TIMES THE WAITRESS WALKED BY US AND IGNORED THE FACT WE WERE THERE! No one ever acknowledged we were sitting there even though at least three people saw us come in and sit down. After 10 minutes, we got up and left. As we had taken a booth across from the bar it was a long walk to the door and yet no one said anything. I could not believe how we were (or weren't) treated. If tonight was any indication of normal business, I understand why in a very busy area and a full parking lot, we were only the third customers....

They are delicious and filling - my favorite is packed with beef, hard-boiled egg, olive, and onion, and this combination of flavors really has a lot of flavor. The bread tastes and feels very fresh and is nicely chewy and firm. The salsa that is served with the empanada is also really good, with a nice tangy taste. The owner of the cart has always been the same guy, and he's really great. He is always very kind and polite, and you can tell he cares a lot about his business and his customers. From studying at VCU, to now working downtown, it puts me in a good mood to see this business thriving.
