Was slightly disappointed they only had beef vegetable, but was I ever wrong in my disappointment. This soup was one of the absolute best I've ever tasted! The broth is very thick and hearty, filled with all the great soup vegetables, including chunks of corn on the cob, as well as beef and some sausage. The flavor was rich and lush and made me think of my grandmother's soup. I also wound up buying an Apple turnover and some type of flakey pastry with cherries. Absolute melt-in-your-mouth yumminess! I HIGHLY recommend this tiny, but mighty, little gem. Driving by on Rt 46 you might miss it because it's so small. Trust me when I tell you, the soup alone is worth the stop!

With the chicken and beef empanadas, they serve spicy and creamy dipping sauces. I loved both, but they're not kidding with the spicy, it hits you! There's also a large display case of sweets and pastries which looked delicious. Next time, I'm coming back for that and the coffee! The store is in a strip mall on Rt 46. Plenty of parking, friendly service, and affordable prices. Some tables to sit at inside as well.

Versac is a fairly small space with several tables. It has a nice vibe and (not to my taste) rather loud music. I ordered an arepa with white cheese and scrambled eggs, and coffee (served in a paper cup with milk foam). The coffee was excellent, the food very good. Service was a little spotty, but acceptable (not a deal breaker). If I find myself in the area again I would certainly go back for a meal: the menu is extensive and I would love to try several other dishes. Quite an enjoyable meal, and a good value. Recommended.

While Dulce Tradición has some larger dishes, I really enjoy visiting for their smaller sweet and savory pastries. Their beef and chicken empanadas are some of the best I have had. The outside is crisp and corn meal-y, while the inside if stuffed with shredded beef and juicy potato chunks. The inside is so flavorful. These empanadas are the ultimate comfort food. They have lots of pastry puffs as well, ranging from beef, guava, and Hawaiian. They also have excellent Brazillian cheese bread, and an excellent coffee selection. I will definitely be a regular here so I can sample each pastry Dulce Tradición has to offer. On top of this, the inside of the cafe is very cute and clean. The service is excellent and one time they even let me sample some of their home-made guava jam! This place is truly a gem and I highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

In turn, it's nice to support those places. The two gentlemen working there were wonderful. One of them opened the door for me and they greeted me with smiles. That's always a win in my books. There was so much to choose from. They have soooo many empanadas and, if that's not your thing, they have other baked goods. I opted for a Ham & Cheese Empanada for my non-foodventurous Mom and I got the Libreta for me. Libreta because with all the layers, it was reminiscent of a book. Also picked up an iced decaf Americano. I appreciated that the gentleman repeated my order to make sure we were on the same page. Everything was DELICIOUS!! My Mom (who eats like a bird) finished her empanada straight away and couldn't say enough about how good it was! The place was cozy, beautifully decorated, and so welcoming! A few cafe tables inside and a few outside. Whatever you fancy. It's just great here! Can't wait to return!

They also have parking in the back, which is always a huge plus! When we arrived, there were only about three tables filled, but as the evening went on, more and more people started coming in. There was a steady flow of customers dining in, picking up takeout, and visiting their bakery. And let me tell you--the baked goods looked absolutely fabulous! I'll definitely be trying some next time. Our waiter, Joe, was fantastic! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire evening. We started with the ceviche de chicharrón, and WOW--it was amazing! The combination of tostones, crispy chicharrón, the perfect amount of onions, and one of the best guacamoles I've had in quite a while made this an incredible appetizer. My husband ordered the fried fish, and it was so fresh and perfectly fried. It came with salad and tostones, and he absolutely loved it. My son and I both ordered the traditional Paisa dish, and the portions were HUGE! Everything on the plate was delicious and cooked perfectly. I added fried onions to my steak, and let me just say... THE BOMB! One more thing I forgot to mention--this restaurant is BYOB! Overall, we had a wonderful experience--from the food and portions to the service and atmosphere. We will definitely be back, and I can't wait to try more from their menu and bakery! Highly recommend giving this place a try!

I am not one for dramatics, but I love good food, and this burrito was remarkably good. A friendly waitress greeted me as soon as I walked into this small restaurant, and served me a cup of really good coffee -- really good: strong without being overpowering, and the second cup was as good as the first. The vibe in El Parche is vibrant. I enjoyed sitting in the sunshine pouring in through the front window and eating at my leisure. There was plenty bacon in my burrito, but not too much. Clearly the cook knows how to cook well. I took a few empanadas home with me, and I will definitely return. I highly recommend El Parche.
