They had a stage for probably live music. They had music playing and dancing. The vibe. The chairs and oak trees you could sit on and under. The empanadas that had Doughminican" stamped on them. It was all fantastic. We didn't want to leave.

Must-Try Dominican Empanadas and Fresh Pineapple Juice…read more I absolutely love The Dominican--this spot is a gem! If you're ever in the mood for fresh-pressed pineapple juice, theirs is incredible. And their empanadas? Absolutely delicious. These are Dominican-style empanadas, so they might look a bit different, but the flavors are spot on. They offer beef, chicken, and veggie (ratatouille) options, and all are phenomenal. My favorite is the chicken--don't skip it! One of my favorite weekend routines is grabbing empanadas here, heading over to Desnudo (next door) for coffee or matcha, and enjoying the pop-up farmers market in the area. It's the perfect way to hang out, shop local, and enjoy amazing food. Plus, the owners of the food truck are so kind and welcoming. I visit almost every other weekend and can't recommend this spot enough!

Hit the farmers market in Cedar Park and found them there, so only speaking for that experience…read more I'm Peruvian and love an empanada, so got a variety. They're $8 each which is a little pricey but not unreasonable in this economy. $6 would have been right. Maybe $7 bc Farmers Market. $8 is high for the size. I got the BBQ Brisket, Conquistador (diced beef), Peruvian (Aji de Gallina) and al pastor (pork w pineapple). The name Yapa has a meaning (you can rea the sign yourself) and when I asked about it they said the chimichurri that already came with it was that. Lame. Don't name yourself after a gift and don't give one. Or don't say the sauce is included. Brisket was good. Sweet. Gouda would have been nice in it. 7.5/10 Conquistador (diced beef) was also good. This is the traditional stuffing for a papa rellena. Very tasty but could have used a salsa criolla instead of the chimichurri. 8/10 The Al pastor was fine, but didn't taste at all like Al pastor. Zero pineapple flavor. 4/10 Haven't tried the Aji de Gallina yet. Will update when I do. The chimichurri was tasty but HOT. I like spicy - this was hot so proceed with caution. The dough was a little thick for my liking, especially around the sides Overall it was okay. I spent $50 on 6. Would probably go back and get the BBQ one for walking around the market. The Conquistador is better as potato stuffing and the Al Pastor was just a miss. Offering alfajores as a yapa would be a nice touch

Have you had Yapa empanadas? Holy poo they're amazing…read more They're everywhere, food trucks, different farmer markets, etc. You can buy them frozen and take home to make. That's just grand! Did you know they also do catering? I need to host a blowout event of some kind to get these glorious empanadas catered. For now, I'm happy knowing I've got a bag in my freezer. The Come y Calla brisket empanada is a real flavor punch to the mouth. Yes, siree. I'll take chicken empanadas, brekkie empanadas, and the spinach cheese ones all day, everyday. You heard me. Everyday. They also sell chimichurri sauce jarred and no home kitchen is complete without it. That sauce is so good I just wanna inhale it all right down. All I've got left to say is OMEmpanada, please!

I had a pretty mixed experience here. We came here on a Thursday afternoon to work for a few hours…read more- it was pretty much completely empty. Pros: -Super cute interior and welcoming outside patio with vibrant art. -Nice parking lot and heart-shaped bike stands -Good Wi-Fi Neutral: -The language barrier is pretty rough. Almost every word I said was misinterpreted - which I can't really knock a place for, but my order came out incorrect. -Not much A/C circulating inside. It's not uncomfortable per say, but your face does get sweaty inside. Cons: -The staff do have a very "can't be bothered" attitude, which doesn't actually bother me too much. Maybe they would have given more attention if I spoke Spanish, lol. -I wanted to try one of the Pandebono or Pandeyuca but they were out of both :( and most of the other pastries, as it seemed. -The chicken empañadas ($6 for 2) were pretty tasty and filling, but were swimming in a puddle of grease. Overall, this spot has potential with a few tweaks, but I'm not sure I'd come back.

I will say it's nothing too fancy but you could definitely dress up a little for it. The staff were quick and gave great recs on what to order. The chorizo sausage was great! The provoleta was flavorful but it hardened pretty quickly, so make sure you eat it fast. The empanadas were the star of the show. I would definitely recommend the chicken and spinach cheese ones. The ground beef empanada was good, but I wasn't a fan of the olives. Def just be a me thing. I was really excited for the gnocchi but they served it last and I was beyond stuffed by then. I'd probably ask for everything to come out at once next time. The gnocchi was also completely different from what I've had before. I probably wouldn't order it again, but it was fun to try. Solid drink selection too!

Anyway, if you like empanadas, give these a try! They may not be "typical" but they are worth trying! The only reason I didn't rate mmmpanadas five stars is because they were out of many of the empanadas I wanted to try. I am looking forward to tasting the s'mores and the Argentinean sometime soon!

Cafe Nena'i is a cute little woman owned coffee shop on the East side. Parking was easy and there was no wait. I found the music to be set a pleasant level, but since the owner is petite and has a plastic screen between her and the customer, it can be challenging to hear her. My cafe was delicious, but could had been hotter. The Torte de Manderin was as dense and a tad dry, but the citrus flavor came through and went nicely with my drink. It's a small place, but there are a couple of tables outside to linger at.

Overall, a very very filling meal and I'm happy I got to try this food truck!

After having this on my Must Try list for the past three years, I was finally able to try Boteco,…read moreand it did not disappoint. I ordered the Picanha Grelhada. The steak was cooked medium rare, just the way I like it. It paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice, veggies, farofa, and of course, the fried egg. It was my first time eating farofa, and I enjoyed the added texture (almost couscous-like). The staff was also incredibly friendly! The only thing to note is that the pricing has changed quite heavily. On Yelp, you'll find that many of the menu images show the Picanha Grelhada to be around $14-$16; however, the current price is around $20. Enjoyed the food, but it admittedly is a slightly steep price for the portion size. Overall, a great area with lots of seating and parking available. Would definitely recommend.
