Stopped in discovered they opened about a month ago. Ordered a sampler of empanadas: chicken, beef, and ham/cheese for under $10 to go. Everything was prepared as I waited in their little dining room that has a few tables and some high tops along two counters facing outside. Quaint. Charming. A little cramped. I loved it. The menu is a mixture of traditional American breakfast and lunch plus Mexican dishes like tostados, salchipapas, asada, choripan, and empanadas to name a few. I can see where they might build a quick takeout business. My empanadas were delicious. Looking to give a new business a try without breaking the bank. Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter heading back before I can put my shoes on. Go here.

The sauces were fresh, the fillings were plentiful, and the presentation far surpassed what we expected from this tiny hole on the wall. Not to be outdone, the walls were covered in the happiest, modern and bright posters while the music was a nonstop mix of pop and power ballads cumbia-fied.

Love me some GoGo Empandas! I picked up Katy and Piper at…read moreInnerpeaks and they were hungry. This is their first time. I love that I can get a snack or a meal and either way I never leave hungry and the food is outstanding! Piper wasn't feeling adventurous so she went with ham & cheese and cheeseburger empandas. Katy got the chicken and potato and Italian calzone empandas. I decided to get a seafood for my wife which is her favorite and a Cuban. I forgot to take photos of the empandas when we got back before they were devoured! I highly recommend GoGo to anyone who likes crunchy pastries with an assortment of flavors at a great price that is in Matthews.

The service is always stellar despite a small language barrier, the people always talk to you and are even considerate of my small Spanish speaking ability. And the restaurant has a truly Colombian feel, small and intimate very similar to the restaurants I frequent in Barranquilla and Santa Marta. Truly thankful I found this place and look forward to eating here again very soon.

The staff were lovely as well. I arrived about an hour before close and they didn't make me feel rushed at all. And the atmosphere? Lovely! It's a large space, but wasn't too loud. They also had outlets *everywhere*, making this a perfect spot to work on your laptop.

The inside of the restaurant was clean and very trendy with plant walls, and signs that glowed which made it super cute! There was no wait when we arrived for a party of five which was nice and the hostess sat us politely and quickly. Our server was fast to stop by and brought out the complimentary chips and salsa that were both great. I ordered the chicken fajitas for two to share with my mother which we both agreed that they were delicious. I opted for black beans instead of refried and they were good too. The fajitas came with two plates of toppings for them so that we each had our own to build the fajitas on the house made tortillas. The others ordered the chicken nachos, veggie burrito, and the combination meal with two enchiladas. All of us were pleased with our choices. I look forward to coming back soon to try out some other items on the menu!

I also got the elote loco. I really wanted a traditional elote but the lady said elote loco and I replied yes, and so that's how that went. Not even 10 min later my food was out. They give complimentary chips & salsa. The elote loco was ok. Not usually something I would order but wasn't bad. I ate it all. Worth ordering twice if you're a fan of the red stuff. My burrito was a decent size. Short and fat. Rolled terribly. All of the guac and little bit of sour cream was on one side of the burrio and the other end had the chicken and rice. There was a thin amount of beans. The chicken was hella dry. Like it has been cooked a day before and reheated in a microwave. The flavor was lacking. The chips and salsa. The chips were warmed, but the salsa was giving crushed tomatoes with garlic. It was more of a tomato than a salsa. Personally, I wouldn't come back but they do have other dishes and so maybe I just ordered something that isn't one of their bests. My total was around $26. A bit steep for such mid food.
