    a half eaten sandwich
    Asal B.

    We tried this place while at the Pearl. We got 2 veggie empanadas. The first one was ok. But the Indian empanada was delicious! Highly recommend it!

    These empanadas are the perfect snack for a morning at the Pearl. They are easy to grab and eat on the go as you are shopping around. They are a little pricy at $7 dollars each but they are a good size and one fills me up. My favorite one is the Boca de Fuego which is a spicy brisket BBQ filled empanada. If you have a low spicy tolerant I would get something else like the chicken one which is also good. Pro tip- they have chimichurri sauce and a chipotle mayo that you can ask for on the side. I would buy the chimichurri sauce if I could because it's that good. Beware it's a little oily. Sometimes they have a line but it moves pretty fast.

    Pricey Al Pastor would be the only one I would order again Pastry was just ok. Not much flavor. They looked nice though and come piping hot.

    Absolutely delicious!…read more I've been to EDA once before and have been craving their empanadas ever since! Much like last time, there seemed to be only one person running the shop, the place was sparkling clean (including the restrooms), and there was ample seating in the dining area. The music was a little too loud, especially so in the bathroom, but otherwise the café was so nice. The menu is chock-full of delicious sounding dishes and boba drinks, but I opted for two of their ready to go empanadas. I had the Beef & Cheese, and the Chicken Salteña Empanadas. Both were super yummy and neither the beef nor chicken was dry inside. The fillings were savory, the Beef & Cheese amazingly creamy, and the Chicken Salteña a good blend of spices. The raisins in the Salteña did throw me off for a moment as I didn't think they worked all too well with the rest of the texture of the filling, but it didn't detract too much from the empanada. The dipping sauce that they came with was so tasty and flavorful as well! I was only able to finish half of each empanada because they were so big, but the server was kind enough to give me extra sauce with my to-go box. It added another layer of tastiness to the experience! EDA is a little out of the way for me so I'm not able to go as much as I'd like, but I know I'll be stopping in to snag an empanada or a boba tea when I'm in the area. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!

    Empanada-rama! This place is a wonderful 'ghost kitchen' in…read morethe in the Finesilver area. If you're looking for a quick take-out option these guys are clutch! The Royal Pasty serves up baked empanadas, not fried. The empanadas are large and stuffed with a variety of different fillings. There's a long list of about ten different empanada filling options. They even have combo boxes in multiples of threes where you can save by mixing and matching empanadas! My favorite was the beef ones, the crust was flaky and soft. They have a professional empanada press where they imprint the empanada filling type on the crust with a two-letter code so you know what you're about to get into. The sauces were delicious! They offer a type of chimichurri sauce that's incredible, and a spicy version that's not too spicy at all. The empanada flavors were more imaginative than the empanada stands you typically see- a pulled pork option, bacon and eggs for a breakfast empanada, beef and cheese- there's much more than the typical ham and cheese and beef. The best option- triple cheese! Nom. This ghost kitchen is only for pickup. No dining in. You have to show up with a cell phone to let a computer know who you are, and once you scan your notification, a locker door pops open, and you retrieve your food.

    Do not come here waited over an hour on two empanadas. Just for them to cancel my order. This isn't…read moreeven a restaurant you don't see anybody. These are just lockers that you pick it up from. So having to wait over an hour after the pick up time is absolutely ridiculous. Do not give them your business.

    INCREDIBLE bakery, burger, coffee, and service! On a Saturday morning, there was a line out the…read moredoor and down the street! We were given menus to look at while we waited so by the time we got to the counter, we were ready to order. The baked goods aren't on the menu, so when we walked by the counter filled with croissants, kouign amann, bear claws, apple pie, cheese cakes, it was hard to choose what we wanted!! We ordered: the Alamo Burger: a 8 oz wagyu beef smash burger , served with a fried egg, caramelized onions, cheese on a crispy croissant bun. It was incredible and worth the 15-20 minute wait! Almond croissant - a monster sized, flaky croissant with a generous almond filling. Guy Fieri highlighted this croissant on his DD&D show. It's probably a million calories not worth it! Tequila strawberry tres leches croissant - a small, cream filled croissant with strawberries. This was our least favorite. My husband didn't like the filling, I didn't like the sogginess of the croissant. Coffee - really good brewed coffee with free refills. We plan to go back a few more times while we're in town!!

    Above average food, chaotic entry and short on seating…read more Food was alright. But by the time we got seated and picked up bistro style, I was losing my appetite a bit. Cakes, pastries, pancakes are great. I liked my Reuben sandwich.

    I saw this restaurant across the street while stopped at a red light on the way home from my doctor…read moreappointment. It is the #2 location on Culebra Road. My son and I both like Colombian food based on visits to a competitor that we have gone to many times closer to our house. When I mentioned this place to him, he said we should try it out soon. Today was the day. The first thing I noticed was the size of the dining room. It was roomy with several tables that were appropriately spread out. The decor is attractive with eye catching art painted on the white walls. The tables all have a splash of color on them, as well. Altogether is creates a bright and cheery atmosphere. We were very comfortable. I also noticed that the one television on the far wall was showing Univision and the music being played was in Spanish. I really like the music of a restaurant to reflect the nationality of the cuisine. Our server was an extremely helpful young man. He helped us with the menu. Unlike what is stated in other reviews, the food is described in english. Unfortunately, there are some items that don't translate. Those are the ones I needed help with. We both ended up ordering the same thing. It was lengua in a delicious tomato sauce served with french fries, avocado slices, white rice, salad, and a fried plantain patty. The amount of food on the plates was absolutely outrageous, but we managed to get pretty danged close to clean plates. The flavors were really nice. There was a huge squeeze bottle of Salsa Colombiana (I think that's what he called it) and another with Salsa tartara, the Columbian version of tartar sauce. It was amazing. It was creamy and savory without that sweet pickle taste American folk put on seafood. For drinks, I had a jugo de pina. My son had one made with passion fruit. I heard them being made fresh in the kitchen. They blended the fresh fruit with some water or milk and ice. Mine was really refreshing. It was served in those giant iced tea glasses some places use. There was a lady and her son at another table. I listened as they ordered in Spanish. They asked almost the same questions as we did, so being fluent in Spanish must not mean you would understand the Colombia specific food vocabulary. As we were paying our bill, the lady was pointing to everything on her plate asking "What is this?" in Spanish. I found that a little humorous, as the explanations when ordering were pretty good. My son and I had not problems recognizing the foods on our plate based on what we had heard. On our way home, we passed by the Bandera location. My son pointed it out to me. I don't remember ever seeing it there, but my son says he knew about it. That made me wonder why we frequented the competitor on Tezel where we like the food, but felt uncomfortable being packed in so close in the tiny dining room. In the truck, my son was already telling me what he planned to eat next time. There will definitely be a next time. I need to try their arepas and empanadas, as well as some other jugos.

    They do not speak English so it was hard. Nothing is in…read moreEnglish so you just smile & point lol. I ordered an empanada carne & I'm not going to say it was bad but I wouldn't try it again.

My husband inhaled his spiral croissant sandwich with scrambled egg, ham, and cheese. My ranchero eggs Benedict with grilled chicken was very tasty. The salsa chipotle hollandaise was really the glue that held everything together; lots of flavor, added moisture to the chicken and bread. Service was friendly and you can tell the employees knew the menu and pastry line up very well. You wait in line to order, they give you a number and then you take a seat. Although it seemed busy, we were able to find a table right away. Staff members did a great job clearing out tables all while sending out orders. It was very clean and bright inside.
