Have eaten here twice so far. Empanadas are good and the rice and beans were really good. The only issue I had was I asked for a bit more rice and a little less beans( 1st time ordering this dish) .

GET THE PERNIL. Their pork is AMAZING. They have other awesome empanadas, but after a few rounds, I realized that I LOVE the pernil more than any other, and stopped trying to top it. Add some rice & beans + some plantains and you’ve got a great meal.
