Ordered for an office meeting and everyone thought the food was good. I order the burrimongo which…read moreis burrito filling wrapped with mofongo instead of a tortilla. Im actually from northern Va/DC area where I've tried various mofongo dishes, some good and some just meh, so for me, I felt the mofongo tasted meh...it lacked flavor or seasoning. I mean it was ok IMO but I probably would order something different next time.

For a quick weeknight dinner, I stopped by Empanellie's. While browsing the menu, I decided to try…read morethe jibarito - a sandwich made with flattened plantains instead of bread, filled with lettuce, tomato, and a choice of protein ($14). I picked the euphemistically named "steak," which turned out to be ground beef that wasn't even well-browned. The combination of lettuce, tomato, and simply seasoned ground beef tasted a bit too much like a Crunchwrap Supreme. Fresher and twice the size, sure - but still within that same flavor palette. Even the fried green plantains, which should've added some texture, had steamed into mild sogginess from the foil wrap, despite me ordering it for dine-in. Maybe I'll try the Cubano or the empanadas next time. The jibarito was fine, but definitely overhyped here and on Google Reviews.

I ordered a traditional pork gyro ($12.95) and small order of Greek fries ($6.95). Note that the menu lists the price of a full size of fries but you can ask for a half or small portion. I paid at the counter, took a seat, and heard my order called up within 5 minutes. The pork gyro's pita was nice and fluffy (hate it when it's dense), fries had some Cajun-esque seasoning, and the pork was tender and juicy. The Greek fries tasted like fries, with feta cheese and a tangy white sauce. Overall, decent for a casual meal. Not looking for the zenith of gyros here, so it works as a local place.

They only get 4 stars because of the slow service. We had to wait to order before we could pay. They were extremely busy, so it's difficult to deduct a star for that, but I can't do half-stars. The decoration was both unexpected and plentiful. The food was fantastic, colorful, and delicious. If you visit the area, you must stop by and see and taste for yourself.

Ambiance is nice aesthetically, but it's set up more like a breakfast place than a cafe, with only hard seating and tables. It would definitely be nice to have some couches or soft seating. I've ordered a latte here multiple times and I've seen several different people make the drink. Unfortunately the milk wasn't frothed correctly any of these times and the foam was bubbly, not glossy, which is really the heart of what makes a good latte for me. So if you're there for good simple coffee that was a turn off. Their Cup of Love and other hot flavored specialty drinks do make very tasty very rich dessert drinks though. So I think on that they do well but I can't have that everyday or I'll be gaining pounds.
