    Mushroom empanada
    Brian B.

    #GoatedEmpanadas ! My tastebuds are still raving! Wow! These empanadas are something TRULY special! These empanadas are absolutely on another level. Elevated, gourmet and delicious! What immediately impressed me was the sheer size and heft of the empanada. It really is HUGE compared to most any other empanada I have ever had in my life. As a veggie/mushroom lover, I couldn't pass up the chance to try the Mushroom empanada - and boy am I glad I did! It was love at first bite! I enjoyed my empanada standing under a tree at the Hayward (CA) Farmer's market. First bite, first impression: An uncontrollable smile, followed by my arms stretched out to my sides and my face up to the sky! I was in food heaven, so happy and so grateful to be able to enjoy this amazing food in the palm of my hand! This empanada was impressively and perfectly STUFFED with 5 different types of mushrooms, mixed with a flawless ratio of bell peppers, onions and delicious seasonings (yum!). So many things impressed me! Even the size/slices of the mushroom filling was impressive! It really made the experience so much better! The slices and pieces of the mushrooms gave a pleasant bite and perfect chew to each bite... The dough itself definitely stands out amongst the pack of any other empanada doughs I've ever had! It's not like any other typical empanada dough that I've had countless times before... The dough: It screams quality! There is no denying the care, knowledge and expertise that you will literally be able to taste in every bite. These people know how to make something truly special and I'm all about it! Now, I opted for a drizzle of a Rocoto (spicy) sauce on top of my mushroom empanada and boy am I glad I did! Not overly spicy at all, it simply enhanced and complimented all the other flavors of the empanada in all the best ways I could have ever wanted. What more does this delicious mushroom empanada need? NOTHING! If you want a delicious treat that will make your tastebuds sing, that will satisfy your hunger, fill you up and and give you an empanada experience like no other, then TREAT yourself to one of these incredible and amazing empanadas! As for me, I will now have to add these incredible empanadas to my monthly bills budget, because now that I know better, they are absolutely a necessity! Next mission: To try out all of the other delicious empanada options they have on the menu!! #VeggieOptionFound #NewFav #EmpanadaHeaven #SoManyChoices :)

    I pretty much went to the Irvington Farmer's market for the first time just to check it out, and it did not disappointment! Unfortunately, a lot of flavors were sold out when I arrived. Fortunately, they still had mushroom WITHOUT cheese, and it had one of the best crusts I've had for an empanada! Both the mild and (not that) spicy sauce were good; I have a slight preference for the spicy one (orange). The parking situation was a bit hectic for me, but otherwise I'd be down to go back in the future. (Also, they take Venmo which is convenient!)

    I found CTKempanadas through Nextdoor and decided to give them a try. The empanadas are full of flavor and I will definitely be ordering again. I tried the ham and cheese and beef empanadas and look forward to trying the other flavors. The empanadas came with some sauces that were really good and enhanced the flavors even more! Christian (owner) delivered them and was polite, prompt and you can tell very proud of what he does! Give them a try and taste for yourself.

    These empanadas warm up really well at home!  30-40 seconds in the microwave and you'll have a perfect, warm and delicious meal. :)

    Great back patio, delicious menu…read more My husband and I popped by for a late lunch on a Friday, and their back patio was almost full. We ordered their Brusselsprouts and short rib sandwich to share and the proportions were perfect, just enough food and we didn't leave a morsel behind. Their short rib sandwich was heavenly and the chimichurri sauce plus grilled peppers elevated the experience. If you're torn about ordering a full shareable of the habanero fries, here's an insider tip: we asked for a side of their habanero sauce to go with our side of fries so we would still have enough room for their short rib sandwich! Their sprouts were phenomenal. Loved the sweat punch added by the cranberries and shaved carrots to balance the charr of the brussels. Will 1000% be returning to check out their dinner menu. I haven't had a milanesa since I was in Argentina, but I trust Brava to meet the assignment!

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon. The place was packed but still had space in the back patio. I…read morereally enjoyed the cute aesthetics and the decor for the back patio. - Ambiance was 4/5: really liked the outdoor seating and area. Nice place to chill and enjoys some sun. - Service was 3/5: servers were nice and came to refill water when it was low. Not too much interaction as it was busy. - food was 3/5: presentation was nice but I felt the taste was lackluster. The empanadas were good but nothing that stood out. The sandwiches were really heavy, short rib was kind of messy and fell out of the bread, flavor was bland without using the sauces. The steak sandwich was a tad chewy, also bland without the sauces. The fries however were amazing, crispy and fresh.

I loved the jerk pork tacos! The pork was juicy, tender, and aromatic, and the mango-papaya salsa added a refreshing sweetness. I also tried the paella Oyo that my sister ordered which was sooo yummy and full of protein. The small size was more than enough! My mom ordered the oxtail stew which wasn't on their brunch/lunch menu (dinner only), but I really appreciate that they were accommodating to make that dish for her. I've never had oxtail and it was delicious--tender, perfectly sweet and savory, and paired well with the plantains. The other dishes that my family ordered were hits too (jerk pork shoulder and seafood paella). We also tried the ripe plantains pancake Oscar for a sweet treat. I love anything marshmallow, so the brûléed marshmallow cream that blanketed the pancakes was heavenly. It also came with a plantain on top and a few other fruits to balance out the sweetness. Overall, we left full and all around very satisfied. The staff showed us such warm hospitality and came around often to check on us, despite being an almost packed house. The decor was beautiful and the atmosphere had a fun lively energy. With indoor and outdoor seating options, anywhere you get seated is a nice spot. Can't wait to visit again to try their dinner menu items and drinks, and hopefully catch some live music!
