So this spot was actually put on my radar by my mom and my brother, and while we were visiting her…read moremy brother and I had to swing by to see what all the hype was about. Right off the bat the server and staff were the ones to greet us and they were extremely sweet and welcoming, messing around with us and just had a fun personality overall. They actually gave us a sample of every single flavor which caught us completely off guard, and that alone helped us narrow it down to about 40 empanadas to take home. Yeah I said 40, and those were gone in two days. The dough on these things is so flaky and perfectly cooked, buttery in all the right ways. I was a little worried going in that the meat might end up dry but nope, you bite into these and the moisture just seeps out and smacks you with flavor immediately. We tried chicken, pork, beef, even the veggie one, and every single one was phenomenal. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the pork for sure, it had this savory taste with just a little hint of sweetness that matched perfectly with the pastry. Honestly cannot recommend this place enough. It has actually become our go to appetizer whenever we gather as a family for the holidays now, that is how good these are.

I ordered the Pollo and Hongos (crimini mushrooms, spinach, red peppers, red onions, and mozzarella) and thoroughly enjoyed both. They came out piping hot and thought the chimichurri sauce really enhanced the flavor! The price was a bit expensive. It was close to $5 an empanada but my friends and I ordered the half dozen and it was slightly cheaper at $27. I'd still highly recommend!

Unfortunately, we waited for about 75 minutes and our order was never available, so we canceled and went down the street to Delgado's. We were in the mood for pizza, were going to settle for Thai, but we ended up having some really good Mexican food.

I tried all 4 flavors that they had available: spinach & ricotta, beef, corn, and Peruvian chicken. The Peruvian chicken was my favorite, big chunks of chicken that were moist and well seasoned, not dry. The pastry on all of them was really nice and thin, leaving a great proportion of filling in comparison and not too much breading. The staff were really sweet, and my coworkers all agreed that this was one of the best catering options we've had at the office.

We waited 10 more minutes then asked another waiter to call for him. He then showed up another 5 minutes after that. I ordered the $45 steak and Mole. I ordered medium rare. The steak turned out to be very thin so the medium rare order was barely cooked- there was no flavor. If I was a waiter and someone said medium rare, I would say "our restaurant serve a very thin piece of steak so you might want to go medium instead. But ye didn't say that and the steak was under cooked, the fat was still cold. The Anaheim pepper stuffed with cheese, the pepper was also under cooked. So t had a few grill marks, but the pepper was still a bit cold and too crunchy. The mole was very good. I wouldn't recommend this dish for anyone.
