She's also from Argentina originally, so they were the same type. The prices are the same, but they did adjust the discount structure a little. They used to offer either a discount, or a free empanada when ordering a certain quantity, but apparently no longer (understandable). They also used to provide a free serving of their amazing chimichurri with a quantity order as well, but either they forgot, or they discontinued that practice as well; and unfortunately, I forgot to check my box and order one before I left. They seem to be doing well, because several items were sold out, but they do have a wide variety, and there are enough choices to satisfy any tastes. I really must remember to come more often.

Restrooms: shared with other businesses located behind the alley. Cost : $6-$8 per empanada Food: if you're looking for a traditional empanada this is not the place to go. With that being said, we have been to a few modernized empanada shops on the mainland so we were excited to try this spot. We found the dough to be softer than what we're use to from both Mexican & Colombian empanadas. The dough on one side was soggy while the other side was slightly more cooked. We got the ossobuco & corn empanada and while the filling was good, it wasn't anything special.

I had no cash on me, but I'm so glad I went up to ask if they took Venmo -- and they did! Thank God they did because this food was life changing for me. I got the $10 mini plate, which includes two choices. I picked the lechon and pancit, and let me tell you... it was hands down the best lechon and pancit I've ever had. The lechon was unbelievably juicy and tender, and the pork skin was out-of-this-world crispy. The pancit was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I shared it with my toddler and it was plenty for both of us. But to be honest, I wish I got the regular full size plate so I could stuff myself more and have leftovers for later... it was that good!! I parked in the Coca Cola parking lot nearby. There's no seating, but honestly, I would've happily eaten this food standing up in the rain. That's how good it was. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. YOU GOTTA TRY THIS PLACE!!!!

It's so hard to miss this vibrant truck with the cute smiling Arepas flashing a Shaka holding a Venezuela flag, and this newbie is the one to find as you must follow them on Instagram @arepas_hawaii and view their stories for locations feels like an exclusive secret spot. Well I found them in Kaka'ako right beside Milky Way Truck right along side Mother Waldron Park and yes it piqued my curiosity and though I do see on their instagram with menu items including empanadas as well though today it seems to be a selected Arepas seven varieties to be exact (Pollo, Pernil, Carne Asada, Spam, Pabellon and Vegetariana). Arepas are ground corn patties grilled and typically are enjoyed like bread are stuff with various fillings and my Pollo (shredded chicken) was stuffed beyond belief along with queso cheese was so enormous she apologize as it was impossible to close the container lol! The chicken was very moist and flavorful not spicy or loaded with sauce though it's standardly comes with cheese you're able to pile on the toppings by adding extras like more cheese or four types of salsa for +$2...oh my gosh what a fun and generous portions she serves here...it's all love! Thank you!

Was going to order an empanada, 2 drinks and arepa but they said $38. Paid $20 for 2 drinks and 1 empanada instead. Boy o boy did I regret it! $3 for each bottle water?! So that makes the empanada $14?!....lets talk about it! I understand your an arepa truck. But this empanada seems like is made with the same dough as the arepa but just fried. It was so gross and mushy. On top of it the price that was crossed off said $7 under it. I figure, maybe price change is like....$8/$9. Sheesh $14? That's a big difference. Basically paid double. Wasn't even worth it. It was so gross and lacked any flavor. Took me 3 bites to get into the center where the meat filling was. First and last time I'll be eating here!

I highly recommend the taco plate, steak, soft taco!

Those items are probably their most popular menu items. I asked if Bacalao Salad would be spicy - no - it's more of a salty fish. Okay... let's do it! Wat Get Kitchen is mainly a takeout establishment. The free shared parking is much appreciated. The interior is not air-conditioned. Service is efficient and helpful! Thanks for your patience when I asked questions! I liked the Bacalao Salad! It was light, refreshing, and just right! There was a tangy-sweet dressing which can be served on the side if you won't be consuming it within an hour. The cherry tomatoes and lettuce were fresh! It was a pleasant experience!
