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!

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.

Mixed bag. Review specific to the Empanadas. Visited for first time this past Saturday…read more Gentlemen working behind counter was super friendly, and the coffee he prepared for me was 100% excellent! Purchased a variety of Empanadas to bring home and try. Perhaps my mistake was not ordering all of them with cheese, since their are different options. , Nonetheless, I ordered the Spinach empanada, beef and cheese, chicken empanada, and the spicy chorizo. Portion control not in effect apparently. Spinach empanada was packed with way to much spinach, and unfortunately had zero flavor. Ground beef and cheese empanada was only about 1/2 way filled with meat, so much more dough than anything else. Also, average flavor. Chicken Empanada was dry, and really required a lot of sour cream, hot sauce, and cheese just to make it edible. Chorizo empanada was definitely a good one. Would not rush back, glad I tried, and again, great service. Cute little shop as well, and perhaps their other items are not hit or miss?

The portions were really big, leaving plenty of leftovers. We ordered the chicken sandwich, penne vodka with chicken, pechuga a la Columbiana, pechuga empanizada, fried plantains, and yellow rice. All of the dishes felt subpar in flavor. While nothing was bad, it all felt very average. I enjoyed the mushroom sauce with the chicken, but nothing stood out in the flavor. The pechuga empanizada felt a tad over cooked as well. We also ordered the tres leches which followed a similar theme of not having much flavor. Id likely give this place another shot to see if the experience dining in is better.

I ordered a pork loin with rice and soup: the soup was fairly good, the pork had been pounded thin and then fried until it had absolutely no flavor, the rice had utterly no taste, and a couple of tostones had the toughness of cardboard and tasted awful. At least two pieces of maduros weren't completely dry, although they weren't very good. Food has to be handled with care and passion to be any good, and my food clearly was handled with indifference, at best. Half of one star is for the waitress who tried, and the other half a star is for the immense television on the back wall showing a soccer game.

Ordered dinner from La Fagota last night for my wife and my in-laws. When we got home, we realized…read morean entire meal was missing (the skirt steak). We called immediately and they kept hanging up on us. So we drove back. After waiting about 10 minutes, someone finally spoke to us and tried to argue and "explain the receipt" instead of actually listening. I told him we were missing the skirt steak and he said he "guarantees" it was in the bag. We showed pictures proving it wasn't, and he responded that they "have cameras." We asked him to check the cameras then -- because the mistake clearly wasn't ours and the rest of our food at home was already getting cold. After wasting even more time, he finally came back and said he'd remake the meal, and then admitted they made a mistake. We then had to wait another 20 minutes for the missing meal. The food here is usually great, which makes this even more disappointing. But the customer service tonight was unacceptable -- and they didn't even offer a discount, credit, or anything to make up for the inconvenience.

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.
