Im actually from northern Va/DC area where I've tried various mofongo dishes, some good and some just meh, so for me, I felt the mofongo tasted meh...it lacked flavor or seasoning.

For a quick weeknight dinner, I stopped by Empanellie's. While browsing the menu, I decided to try…read morethe jibarito - a sandwich made with flattened plantains instead of bread, filled with lettuce, tomato, and a choice of protein ($14). I picked the euphemistically named "steak," which turned out to be ground beef that wasn't even well-browned. The combination of lettuce, tomato, and simply seasoned ground beef tasted a bit too much like a Crunchwrap Supreme. Fresher and twice the size, sure - but still within that same flavor palette. Even the fried green plantains, which should've added some texture, had steamed into mild sogginess from the foil wrap, despite me ordering it for dine-in. Maybe I'll try the Cubano or the empanadas next time. The jibarito was fine, but definitely overhyped here and on Google Reviews.

First time there. Found online. Owner told me, after I order…read morethe steak tacos, that they would be the best I've ever had and they are in fact the best in the world. Well. Not sure about the world, but hands down, the best steak tacos I've ever had. Took 15 min to prepare and worth every second. Every bite was delicious. If you haven't been there, get there!! You are missing the best food around. I will be back without a doubt. I can't wait to to try the rest of the menu.

I've been eyeing this place on my delivery app for a while and I finally ordered last night. The…read moremenu has so many tasty sounding dishes that it was hard to decide what to order, but I eventually decided on the ham and cheese sandwich, fried chicken and sweet plantains, beef/onions and rice with pigeon peas, and alcapurria. They offer different sizes for the meals so I chose small portions of each to try a few different options, but each helping was still quite large! The total for all of this food ended up being around $25 also so it was an amazing deal. The food itself was AMAZING: Ham and cheese sandwich - with lettuce, tomato, onions, and mayo, this sounds basic but it was SO GOOD. The bread was pressed down and nice and toasty, and the proportions of the ingredients were just spot on. A really great and affordable hot sandwich! Fried chicken and sweet plantains - the chicken was a little older since I ordered at the end of the day, but there was still enough moisture in it that it wasn't dry. The batter was also really well seasoned with different herbs and spices - it had a really nice rounded flavor rather than just being salty. The plantains were also nice and caramelized - a perfect sweet bite! Beef/onions and rice with pigeon peas - The beef was a little bit dry but still full of flavor and felt like it had been cooking in the sauce for a while so it was pretty tender. The rice and pigeon peas were really really good though - I will likely choose this as my side moving forward. Not sure how to describe it but it was really flavored with spices but not overly powerful in any direction. Really delicious rice. Alcapurria - My favorite! I had these in Puerto Rico and this version was nicely crisped with a ton of flavored minced meat in the center. The texture was spot on and just so savory and memorable. I want to go back to try the chicharrons, the tres leches cake, the chicken stew, the empanadas, and so many more things on this menu. It's really a gold mine for dishes and so so so delicious!

They didn't have everything on the menu when we went and honestly that's okay, because just about everything looked and smelled good. It seems like someone's aunty is just cranking out whatever she does well and you've got to appreciate that. We got the pork dinners which come with salad, rice and beans. The rice was on point. The pork was delicious too and filled with flavor. Some other reviewers suggested that the meats can be dry. This was our experience, but it's likely how the food is being stored and not how it's prepared. It was still good and a decent bang for your buck, so check it out. We also enjoyed beef empanadas that were served hot and crispy with tons of juicy meat inside. The owners were really friendly and outgoing, joking and being playful with customers.
