We tried a few empanadas and the mushroom, spinach and artichoke; potato; elote; and guava with cheese were all good. They had the right amount of filling to crust ratio. The sopa verde (flavorful and had depth) and arroz Colombiano (lots of ingredients that all worked together) were also great. It was quiet on a weekday afternoon. Everyone was very friendly when answering questions and taking our orders. The space is casual and there's a small parking lot. Would be happy to return for takeout or dine in!

This amazing spot is right around the corner from the theater in downtown Mesa, so if you want a…read morebite before or after, this is your place. This is a slice of Latin America right here in the East Valley. The owners are really friendly, ready to explain all the dishes in the menu, and will make recommendations based on your taste. The cost is, very reasonable, and about an hour before curtain time, there were few other patrons. They do a huge carry-out business and the reason is obvious. The food is amazing! So ext time you're in downtown Mesa, and are getting hungry, go visit República Empañada. You'll be glad you did.

I cannot say enough good things about the experience we had here…read more My husband and I went in for lunch with another couple last weekend for Valentine's Day and had such an amazing time. The food was so good, but even more than that our server Diana was delightful. She was so friendly and helpful in picking out what to order. We started with the super sampler platter, which was a really good idea if you are not super familiar with Venezuelan food (like us). It gives you an idea of how to order your main course (if you still have room!) I think my favorite thing from the meal was chicken patacon that we had on the appetizer platter. I will go back for that for sure ! Everything was so good! My husband had the arepa mechada (shredded beef) and loved it. Their drink menu is really good as well. The passion fruit margarita was so good as was the carajillo Diana was on point and made sure our drinks were always full and that we had a great time. We will be back for sure !

Que Chevere has become one of my favorite restaurants in the entire Phoenix metro area…read more The staff are great and the food is consistently excellent. The arepas, empanadas, the corn pancakes, the meat quality, the plantains... all bomb as fuck. Outstanding. The menu isn't doing any cutesy bullshit with dumb names or "please them all" variety. Straight forward and excellent. And if you've never had Venezuelan before, just get the sampler. The interior isn't much, but whatever, you're there to eat. Too many places in PHX offer a decent atmosphere but mid ass food.

The staff here were lovely and I liked the food a lot. I've been here on two separate occasions and…read morewait staff were absolutely lovely! Thus far we have tried the following: The papa la huancaina, pollo saltado, shrimp fried rice, lomo saltado and the tallarin à la huancaina with vegetables and lastly the aji verde (I could drink that sauce it was so good). We also tried the alfajores because I cannot eat a meal without dessert. The saltados were delicious and I loved the texture of the rice. The chicken was a little dry but flavorful. The huancaina sauce is to die for, buttery, creamy and not spicy. I loved the fried rice which came loaded with shrimp, my only issue was that it was a little too salty for me and the shrimp slightly over done but still really tasty and I would order it again. Do yourself a favor and get some of their aji verde to go, it's well worth the price. Lastly, they make the best alfajores I've ever had, do not miss ordering it! The portions are huge as well.

The ambiance was cool, a lot Of televisions in the restaurant playing soccer games, cartoons and the news! Definitely can't wait to go back again!!

I must have had a brain fart or something because right after I walked in, the worker greeted us and immediately told us they had empanadas. He said they had chicken, beef, and cheese empanadas. I immediately ordered three chicken and three beef. I forgot about the arepas. The guy said it would be ten minutes. So we browsed their store. As soon as you walk in to the business, the small place looked like it is set up to ship packages. It has a small grocery store in the back, and has a kitchen on the side. The whole store was small, but clean. There was no seating in this place as it is not a sit down restaurant. Food orders are placed to go. Almost ten minutes exactly our empanadas came out. We took them to our car and ate there. We wanted to eat them fresh and hot and boy were they steaming hot. I loved the crispness of the shells. The filling was very flavorful and moist. I dipped them in the salsa and they had had a nice kick. They were delicious!We were able to polish off four. After we arrived home some thirty minutes later, the empanadas were still warm and surprisingly still crispy! I ate the last two. I will definitely return to try their arepas!

The dishes we tried: -Alcapurra Vegana de Yuca: Fritters from Yuca stuffed with seasoned soy meat- This one was so fun, interesting and delicious. The outside masa dough is made from mashed fried yuca. -Habichuelas red kidney bean and potatoes side stew: this one was more delicious than expected. Not a ton of beans and potatoes and we wished there was more in it but really delicious flavor! -Mofongo Solo: Was good but a tad less flavor than other mofongos I have had maybe. It was delicious when we put the stew on it. -Mushroom empanada Everything was delicious and the staff was great! Very thankful for how vegan and vegetarian friendly they are too. I believe they have vegan mayo available for dishes with mayo. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out!

We both love Latin and Asian cuisine so the menu seemed to fit our palate Was seated pretty quick and they handed my gf a rose. Got me extra brownie points for sure (told her I arranged that jokingly lol) The vibe is awesome a dimly lit jungle vibe for the Peruvian inspiration. Good music not too loud like other "high end" spots in Scottsdale that try to do too much. They also had a fire performer in the middle of our dinner which added to the ambiance. We sat inside but the outdoor seating also looked nice. During the day this place would have great views of the golf course I imagine. Onto the food, oysters were great quality, fresh but still briny. Had a pineapple mignonette that complimented well. My gf doesn't like oysters but these were small enough for her to enjoy with the added sweetness. Calamari was also solid, had a great chipotle aioli and ginger scallion oyster sauce on the side. The salmon ceviche was a bit of a let down. More like a crudo if you ask me, but still great flavors. Cocktails were great too! The corn mezcal was super unique. Not the biggest mezcal person but it sounded too good to pass up and definitely glad I tried it. My gf got the pisco sour and it was perfectly tart but refreshing. For mains we got the Lomo Saltado and Salmon. Both were great, Lomo Saltado was super tender and had great flavors. Same with salmon, nothing too unique but still on point Overall all the food was very well seasoned and flavorful. Nothing lacked. Cocktails were good. Service was a bit slow but our waiter (forget his name) was very professional and fun. Gave a ton of recs and was very animated. Worked there for 4+ years if I remember correctly and it showed. Awesome dude! Overall 4.5/5 would come back, maybe during the day to enjoy the views outside

Not what I would have expected. We wanted to try something…read morea bit new, reviews here seemed promising. It's a very nice location, sitting right off the golf course. That being said, service was very slow and the food was lackluster. I had the recommended pork and scallops, my wife decided on the lobster fried rice. The pork was basically chunks of pork fat, nearly inedible. The scallops were ok, ended up just skipped the pork. The lobster fried rice was better, but small portions and a very small lobster serving made us wonder how this dish cost $49. We hoped me might finish with a dessert to pick up the mood after a lackluster meal. The salted carmel brownie we decided on wasn't great; tasteless and bland, it just wasn't worth it. All in all, for a two person, $300 meal, there are much better options. Would not repeat and certainly would not recommend.

We went to Mission Old Town tonight and had a great experience…read more The first thing we noticed was the atmosphere. The restaurant has a really cool vibe with good music, a fun crowd, and an upscale but comfortable feel. The décor is eclectic and unique, making it a great place to spend an evening. Our waitress, Mackenzie, was friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu and explain some of the restaurant's specialties. Collin, who made our tableside guacamole, was also great. He was personable, answered our questions, and gave us some recommendations on what to order. We ordered everything they recommended. For the four of us, we shared the crispy pork appetizer and tableside guacamole, then ordered the mahi mahi tacos, Faroe salmon, and Corona Jidori chicken. Honestly, everything was delicious. Not a single dish disappointed. To top it all off, they brought out their pumpkin bread pudding for dessert, which was amazing and the perfect way to end the night. If you're looking for a Mexican restaurant that's a little different from the usual, with great food, a fun atmosphere, and excellent service, Mission Old Town is definitely worth checking out. We'll be back.
