The Jamaican beef was my favorite of the 3 although I did enjoy all 3. They have some scotch bonnet in the Jamaican beef which gives it a nice bit of kick although I would say it's not too hot, just a little bit of kick. They have several other flavors so I will definitely come back to try some of the others. Chimichurri was very good as well. Location is on Claremont right by Telegraph so it's very close to the whole foods near 51st and Telegraph.

Adeline Food Hall 5333 Adeline St…read more Emeryville, CA 94608 "Dela" is the latest virtual brand/menu of Comidazo Kitchens at the Adeline Food Hall. Dela is a ghost kitchen, so it's either pickup or delivery. There's no dining room or table service. DoorDash was offering a promo to try this new restaurant, so I placed an order on a Saturday afternoon. The Comidazo website, says Dela is a Caribbean themed menu. It says...."Jerk and spicy meats or veggies over white rice and red beans take you on a journey to the Caribbean." I ordered "The Lechon Bowl." It was a hearty meal of rice and red beans, with juicy pork. It also had sweet plantains. It was alot of food for $15.00. I also ordered Lechon Eggroll and Peeza Poaket Frito. Both for $5.00. Okay, I have tried some of Comidazo's other virtual brands, and the eggrolls and empanadas appeared to be the same. It looks like they only change the entrees. The Lechon Eggroll was the same. It's nice that they packed the eggroll and Peeza Frito in foil pouches. They arrived still hot! However, the Peeza Poaket Frito was a waste of money. It was described as a pizza pocket with pepperoni and cheese. It was more like overcooked pepperoni and dried up cheese. Something in it was crunchy. Overall, a fair to good experience. I won't order pizza pockets here again.

My partner and I arrived and got no greeting even though the guy was in front he just started at us. We sat ourselves and he just kind of dropped two menus in-front of us and left for a little. He came back and took our order ( 2 lomo su mare & 2 incacolas) he immediately brought us our drinks which he very roughly put in our table. Our food came out in record time and the cook came out and nicely asked if we needed anything more. The meal: My partner and I both agreed that it was just okay, not something we would come back for. It was very greasy and did not taste like lomo Saltado( it lacked the juice the lomo Saltado usually has and this juice literally makes the plates flavor) the fries were regular but had no salt (again if the lomo Saltado had the juice the fries having no salt would not be a problem as it's usually a bit salty because of the soy sauce). We finished our meals and I got up to pay trying to get alfajores but got informed they were unfortunately out. In total I paid around $75 without tip. The price is very high for it to lack the traditional flavor. I would not come back to this place but not essentially because of the food but the service as well. Although this place has a wheelchair ramp the restaurant is so tiny and has no place for a wheelchair to actually enter ( we brought our baby in a stroller and had trouble coming in)

It packed the flavor punch of homestlye cooking and would rival more expensive sit-down restaurants. What a gem! We ordered the Venezuelan arepa, birria empanada, mushroom empanada, side Macondo salad, and passion fruit juice. Every dish was fantastic, and I'd easily recommend any of the above. Venezuelan arepa -- the was ridiculously yummy. The perfect balance of creamy, rich avocado sauce with chicken. It was hearty, balanced, and perfectly seasoned. Birria empanada -- this was delicious, rich, and perfect for the particularly chilly late afternoon. Birria on point. If you're craving birria in a delectable, crispy empanada format, you'll be quite happy. Mushroom empanada -- yummy. We love mushroom empanadas and they executed this one well. Macondo side salad -- surprisingly fantastic! Did not expect it to be so tasty. It was only a side dish for the combo, but it held its own among the baked goods. That's how yummy it was. Passion fruit juice -- sweet and relatively thick. They definitely didn't water it down! If you're a fan of passion fruit juice, you'll must try this one. Environment was fast casual. Only drawback was althe comfort level of a few of the dining chairs, which sloped backwards in an awkward way. The bench actually felt more comfortable, so we opted for that. Take out seems easy and common here, so we'll like try that as well in the future. Located on a busy street, but you can almost always find free parking down one of the perpendicular side streets. Looking forward to coming back for a delicious, casual bite!

We ordered the Venezuelan, Colombian, and Pulled Pork BBQ arepas, the birria empanadas, pandebono with dulce de leche, and the chocolo arepa. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish most of the food. The birria empanadas and all three arepas were way too salty. I'm not sure if they went a little overboard with the salt today, but it was overwhelming and made it hard to enjoy anything. The pandebono with dulce de leche was also disappointing. It's described as being filled with dulce de leche, but it was actually just a plain pandebono with a small side of dulce de leche. The texture was also a bit too chewy for my liking. The only item I truly enjoyed and was able to eat was the chocolo arepa that one was actually decent. Overall, I was pretty disappointed because I really enjoy arepas and was excited to find a new spot. I may give them another try in the future in case it was just an off day, but this first experience didn't live up to my expectations.

The lady working was the sweetest thing, she was super friendly and approachable. Oh man, the salted caramel in the alfajores is legendary. I can eat like a dozen of those in one sitting. The carne empanada was true to its roots -- the filling was savory and the size of the empanada is generous. The great thing is they have pre-made empanadas in bulk to take home! This would be perfect for the next family gathering or potluck! I look forward to my next empanada craving!
