What I was so so so disappointed was the type of fish they put into my order. The yellowish rice was well-seasoned. The only BIG serous issue was they should be honest about type of fish they use! Absolutely NOT red snapper but much much cheaper porgies. So consumers won't feel like fools. (I was looking forward to my red snappers, which says CLEARLY both on their site and menu. Instead I received two cheap porgies instead)! The delivery was like back in Stone Age, took 3.4 million years to get to my door. The young woman over the phone was nice. She reached out for help when answer my questions

Other than a giant map of Puerto Rico & a couple of mini-signs of hot sauces, there is very little wall decor. The very friendly service makes up for the minimalist interior. Order at the counter & pick up your food in cardboard containers on trays. Comprehensive menu of many kinds of empañadas plus chicken tenders, side diy, desserts, sodas, etc. Pre-made empañadas are brought to the restaurant, placed in small, open bags, are kept warm in a glass case & are replenished throughout the day. We each got a Combo meal which included 2 empanadas, a soda & fries (rice & beans, as a substitute, cost a dollar more). When our order arrived incorrect, they were swift to fix it in a mist gracious way. Prices are very affordable.

Can I post a review about this place based on my seamless delivery? I will anyway. The food was…read moredelicioso! The tamales de Pollo were moist..I know, I hate that word too, but they were tender and the chicken lightly seasoned. We tried the Tacos Fritos con Carne Asada which came with tender steak, chopped scallions and herbs and hot sauce (on the side) wrapped in a substantial corn tortilla. Very nice. Camarones A La Plancha...amazing. Well seasoned, perfectly grilled shrimp over fluffy rice with a side of beans and tangy salad. Everything was fresh and it was a pleasure. I will order from here again. Not through seamless though. I requested contact-free delivery. The delivery person called to tell me it was left at the door...Of the wrong house. She corrected the mistake and delivered with no mask or gloves. The meal made me feel better.

La Mesa is so good…read more Located in a small parking lot with an unassuming storefront, La Mesa is exactly what you'd consider a hidden gem. When you walk in you're immediately greeted by a smell of delicious food and a beautiful and quirky interior. They have many drinks and snacks based on the Filipino and El Salvadorian roots of the restaurant! We've had many items off the menu but our favorites are the tocilog, longaniza, garlic rice, and tamal de elote. Portions are large and always fresh. Everyone who works here is also very nice and accommodating. They always substitute garlic rice when requested which I appreciate.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a staff member who was very welcoming. We ordered an arepa with shredded beef, yoyos with grilled chicken, and a chicha. Everything was delicious! Just be prepared to get a little messy. It's not exactly a first date spot lol. The chicha was especially good. It's a bit thick, which makes it feel more like a dessert drink. It tasted just like rice pudding, which I loved. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu.

3.5 stars! I came here with my family for a Tuesday lunch and it was empty which was better for me…read morebecause I had my baby. We walked in and there was a bunch of boxes around the place. At first i didnt understand why then I realized they were donations for Venezuela victims from the earthquakes which was nice. My sister ordered me the Venezuelan sandwich "pepito" with chicken and steak. The sandwich was very good and tasty. It was a big serving and tasted like it was made with love. However, when my dad went to pay the bill at the end they tried to charge an operating fee of $7. My dad complained thats illegal and the lady tried to say its a fee to maintain the space. I never heard of an operating fee anywhere and for that I took off 1.5 stars. Please eliminate that fee if you want to keep customers because the food was great!

Recently I visited for take out to fulfill my bucket list goal of tasting El Salvadorian Papusas…read more My friend is from El Salvador and recommended Jalapeño. She gave high praises about the chicharron pork Papusas. I decided to order the pork and shrimp. She shared with me a little tip, that while the sign on the restaurant says Mexican, it is a El Salvadorian restaurant. The restaurant was open for take out and the ladies were friendly and provided good service. I reviewed the extensive menu which features a mexican menu. They serve different Papusas but my eyes feasted on the shrimp. Our food was packed well and came with tortilla chips, a rich salsa, pickled cabbage in a ziplock bag and red sauce. The pickled cabbage is very similar to Haitian pikliz. A dish or condiment that many Caribbean countries serve and call a different name. The chips and salsa primarily were very delicious. The salsa was very rich in flavor and fresh. The humongous Papusas are why you come here ! Papusas are a national dish of El Salvador that is a thick flatbread from made with cornmeal or rice flour. Similar to a quesadilla but so moist and flavorful here. I really enjoyed the pork which tasted more like moist shredded chicken. The sauce and pickled cabbage paired really well. Can't wait to come again.
