    Haven't left a REVIEW in a long long time on YELP. Finally decided to come down here on Pike St Empanada Box in Covington with my sister Mishell for lunch. WoW!!! Glad we did that. It's self service. So we order Jerk flavor and Beef. It was incredible and flavorful. The ambiance was clean and very nice. I see why this place is 5 star REVIEWS. Will be back with my wife TOEY.

    This is the type of place the five stars speak for themselves. We absolutely loved what we got. We got the Jamaica which we both think it might be their best one it was so good lol. Really you should just go & try a few different ones for yourself. They're small so definitely get more than one. Service was great & helpful. Loved all the plants & brightness of the place. 10/10 Recommend

    So many empanadas to pick from. Available fresh or frozen to take home. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly .

    All four empanadas we tried were delicious! Quite a few vegetarian and vegan options as well. Our favorites are the Kentucky, California, and Buenos Aires. Staff was friendly and it was overall just a cute lunch spot for a quick bite!

    My son and I wanted something good but light. Being from the Caribbean I was totally on board for some Caribbean-esque type foods and jumped on board at the suggestion to try it out. Oh my word on a billboard was this place worth it! As we walked up to the door the serious smells alone were causes for serotonin overload. We had the audacity to think we could handle 8 empanadas between us but the server /cashier assisted us expertly to choose four. We ended up splitting 6 total when including the guava and apple empanadas as dessert. No lies were detected. Everything was skrt skrt. (Isn't that how the young people talk these days?) Whatever your flavor profile is Trey have something for everyone. Had my son emulating Keith Lee as he gave nothing less than 8/10 accross the board.

    Best empanadas in the city, hands down. Owner was cool and every different empanada slapped hard. Shout out chimichurri.

    Chacabanas was excellent from start to finish! Great spot for Cuban cuisine…read more I had both beef and chicken empanadas. The pastry was very flaky and crispy. Between the savory beef and chicken, I could not pick my favorite. The Yuca fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, creating a great texture combination. They were seasoned with garlic oil and sprinkled with shredded cheese. After these, I had to try the El Cubano. It was a home run, a really delicious and well made sandwich. And everyone has a little room for dessert. Both the Flan and Tres Leches were the perfect was to cap off this outstanding meal. Chacabanas is

    In Cincinnati, while visiting Findlay Market, a friend said I should hit up this Cuban place for a…read moregood sandwich. I heard positive things about the food and the owner from two people who live here. There is not much seating here. There are a few stools, but they are not that comfortable. My older mother couldn't sit on them. If the weather is nice, you can sit outside. Luckily, it was nice and we were able to eat across the street outside the market and grab a beer at the external bar. We grabbed a mix of food items. The El Cubano was delicious and filling! I couldn't taste the mustard too much, but the meat was well seasoned. The bread is crispy and soft all at the same time! I would definitely get another one. The empanadas exceeded expectations. We had one chicken and one beef. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy! The crust on the empanadas is flaky but soft, very well done. The beef was more savory and a little less juicy than the chicken. They both tasted great. We had green sauce, which helped make both even better. The yuca fries were the best I've ever had. Skinny enough to not be too gummy or dense. I only wish I got more. They were delicious in the green sauce. I'm not sure if the sauce was for the yuca or the empanadas, but it was phenomenal on both. Prices were decent. Staff was friendly. The food didn't take long. I'm not sure about other Cuban food in Cincy, but this is pretty solid.
