    BFF is Puerto Rican and we've been to Phoenix Coqui before but not this establishment. Upon…read morearrival, our server was waiting at the door for us to enter. The restaurant is a very good size with lots of room and tables available. The decor is that of PR culture which is very colorful and bright. We started off with canoa which is a plantain stuffed with ground beef and cheese. It was very hot and delicious! For our "platos principals" (main entrees) I had the pechuga de pollo (chicken breast with grilled onions) with mofongo as my side (also comes with a side salad). It was very tasty and not dry at all. BFF had the pernil (pulled pork) with arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas) as his side which also came with a side salad. For dessert we shared the tembleque which is a coconut pudding but not in the traditional sense of pudding (more like a jelly texture). BFF also ordered coquito (holiday rum drink) & apparently our server (Sophia) omitted the rum so the owner came by and offered a fresh glass. Speaking of, everything was wonderful except that Sophia seemed to have a bit of a poor attitude as she wasn't too friendly. I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt as perhaps she wasn't feeling well but out of the corner of my eye she had this almost "eyeroll" look. Perhaps she just didn't want to be there (she was friendly upon us leaving and thanked us). Anyway, I highly recommend this establishment. Both food and ambience was great and the service was too.

    The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the vibe was authentic. And everything from the…read moretostones to the rice and beans reminded me of my abuelita. Thanks for all the love!

    Stopped by this food truck at the Melrose Street Fair today. They have great customer service and…read moretell you exactly how long to expect your food to come out. This is the craving I never knew I had. They have a very limited menu but don't let that discourage you. They have 4 types of empanadas, and a few choices of sides including French fries which are very well seasoned. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and the ground beef and potatoes empanadas. They were both made with fresh ingredients, well seasoned and a nice and flaky crust. The meat is very juicy and not dry which is sometimes an issue when frying. I definitely recommend the Philly cheesesteak empanadas. A must try and my favorite hands down. They also have a veggie empanada for those who are vegetarian. Go find them on Facebook and Instagram!

My current favorites are the more classic beef and potato empanada and the Philly cheesesteak empanada, one of their creative variations. The food truck operates from Friday to Sunday, around 5 pm to midnight near the entrance of The Rock bar in the Melrose district. They cater as well and orders can be taken online or from the food truck itself.

We noticed on the map that there was a Cuban restaurant a mile away so we had to go! It's in a relatively abandoned strip mall and If you drive too fast you could miss it, I'm not sure you can even see it from the street, you kind of have to know it's there and MAN do people know!!!' By the time we left it was hopping! Lots of regulars you could tell. Staff was very nice, restroom clean and well stocked. Ambiance? Cute island minimalism! FOOD Had to start with the empanadas which were soo good and great flavor in the meat, I LOVE Cuban sandwiches but have failed to find a halfway decent one in Arizona. When we were in Miami and Key West I ate my weight in Cuban sandwiches so that's my gold standard! This one is just as good if not better! Advised it was big but we each ordered one anyway and big is an understatement they were huge! Roasted pork delicious and juicy, ham and Swiss. Just the right about of mustard not to overpower it and the right amount of pickles to also enhance but not overpower the flavor. The Cuban bread DELICIOUS! For 12 dollars it was two meals and a small snack for me. I'd say that's a heck of a deal ! We are already planning a trip out west to go back !
