WOW what a good find...friendly family run empanada cafe in a strip mall. 5 stars all around…read more 5 star food: the empanadas were amazingly good...flaky crispy and chewy all at once. I'm a huge empanada fan, generally and these were among the best I've ever had. Spicy chicken, spinach and even Nutella ( with a Diet Coke LOL) were all terrific. 5 star service: the smiling woman at the counter was super friendly and we chatted a while about our mothers' cooking. (Hehe mine couldn't but hers could). Surprisingly she also cooked everything. 5 star ambiance: its clean and bright inside with cool art and little low tables. The fun Argentinean pop Muzak is cool too

What really caught my eye, though, were the mofongo dishes coming out of the kitchen. They looked incredibly authentic and beautifully plated--definitely something I'll be coming back to try. The portions were generous, which made the meal feel like a great value. Overall, flavorful food, solid portions, and a spot I'd happily return to.

On top of that, I ordered two cheese empanadas, and they arrived completely burnt, drenched in oil, and absolutely inedible. Not only is the food overpriced, but the quality is unacceptable. Sending food in this condition shows a complete lack of care and respect for your customers. The entire order went straight to the trash.

Casa do Pastel still delivers…read more I hadn't been in years but went back craving a proper pastel. I ordered the beef and the cheese, and both hit. The shells were crisp and light without being greasy, and the fillings were well-seasoned without overdoing it. I added a brigadeiro for dessert and it was spot on, rich and balanced. I went back the next day for the fresh sugarcane juice and ordered the beef and cheese again. Same result. The juice was clean, lightly sweet, and refreshing, and the pastels were just as good as the first time. It's a small, no-frills spot. Clean, simple, nothing fancy. I didn't dine in, just picked up both times, but service was efficient and smooth. The flavors took me right back to Brazil. Consistent quality, no shortcuts. I'll be back.

I actually called first and the person on the phone was very pleasant and told me what was made fresh and what ingredients were in what I wanted to order. I'm into fresh and authentic. The vibes were great and the prices were not bad. I found some of the flavors were not really my taste but I will be back and try other food to see if they are at least consistent.

So as I do, I'm going to give you the straight-up view on this place…read more Let's start here. This is not Cuban food. Not even close. The owner was sitting there while we were there, and to be clear, she's Colombian, not Cuban. That matters when you're claiming a Cuban spot, especially in South Florida where people actually know the difference. Now the coffee. I ordered a colada and it came out ridiculously sweet. I'm talking over-the-top, almost undrinkable. We had to reorder it with less sugar, and they didn't even offer to replace the first one. That alone tells you a lot about how they handle things. Then the Cuban sandwich. They put mustard and mayonnaise on it. Let me say that again. Mayonnaise. On a Cuban sandwich. That is straight-up wrong. As a Miami native, I'm telling you, that's an abomination. If you grew up around real Cuban food, you already know that doesn't fly. And if you're defending it... I don't know what to tell you. Lol. Look, I'm not trying to be harsh for the sake of it. But when you call yourself Cuban in a place like South Florida, there's a standard. This place doesn't meet it. Unless you've got nothing better to do, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for "Cuban" food.

This is your specialty hidden "hole in the wall" place for Peruvian empanadas!!…read more The locals know of this spot and keep it a secret! I was inducted into this secret and I want to share... got an empanada craving? Come here!! There was a looong line for these delicious freshly baked well- filled empanadas... and they also have Peruvian tamales and I saw some nicely robust pan-con-chicharrón sandwiches... what can I say: we will go back to try them! As for this time, we tried and loved the meat empanadas: the filling was nice and full, no skimpy bits of meat: nice serving for $3.50. We tried the chicken tamal and it was okay, but dry but overall a nice flavor, and finally we tried the alfajores that were warmed up at the car and were they were very nice as well. There is a line. There are only 3 tables and 5 barstools on the side... most people order to go, but if you want to eat inside, you have to negotiate with the people sitting at the tables. Do not hesitate to "reserve" your spot. I waited until we were at the top of the line, and someone 6 people behind us with no order had already negotiated and sat at a table... regardless of the fact that she didn't get her food until after we had already finished eating: the table "system" sucked, but we got another one of the tables and most customers take their orders to go, so it was not that bad. Phew! Anyway: I am uncovering the hole in the wall and letting the world know that they can get their fill on empanadas in this little shop in Margate. Enjoy!!

It was a huge plate with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slivers, and wedges of fresh avocado. On the side was a passion fruit dressing and another one with cilantro. Service was good.
