    Cuban Plate
    Sasha B.

    My husband and I came here for lunch and everything was delicious. He ordered the Cuban plate, and I had the shredded beef arepa with yucca fries. Both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere in the area is really nice. We definitely plan on coming back. Highly recommend.

    Really enjoyed the Bandeja Paisa (Columbian Platter) at Empa Taco. Great food and wonderful service.

    Oh my goodness!! I'm so happy I decided to stop here and grab a bite to eat. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is great! Every bite I took, I couldn't believe how good it was. Will definitely be back! Especially for the Birria eggrolls! The service is great as well and pricing is good for what you get!

    Food was good, will not return to a Latin/Mexican restaurant that does not give complimentary chips and salsa

    A Latin style tapas place in the arts district boasting flavors from South America (Argentina,…read morePeru, Venezuela, Yucatan), Mexico (Oaxaca and Mexico City), and the Caribbean. Fresh seafood from the Gulf of MEXICO and a wicked drink menu. They offer several ceviches. Tapas include guacamole, empanadas, crawfish queso, fish dip and veggie salads like crispy cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. We had the crispy cauliflower served with tempura, cashew habanero crema, garbanzo hash, and chimichurri. Loads of flavor and just the right bite size for tapas/apps. Plates include churrasco, fish and grits, paella (can be served veggie or without shellfish if you're allergic), lamb, Yucatan style pork, shrimp or steak mofongo, and chicken poblano. I had the churrasco, served with papas bravas. Steak cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. My husband had the steak mofongo and the beef tips, like the churrasco, were seasoned perfectly. The plantain mash was sweet and somehow savory at the same time. We loved both dishes. They make mean margaritas and caipirinhas hre, and also offer drinks like the paloma, the Bolivian sour, sangria, and specialty drinks. Service was amazing. She was so upbeat and helpful. This restaurant was a little slow when we went. It deserves a lot more love. It's so close to the touristy part of the French Quarter. Leave the gimmicky spots and come here, you won't regret it.

    Definitely worth trying. Cute restaurant. Nice ambiance and vice. Clean…read more The crawfish Queso is mild, not spicy at all. Good flavor. The shrimp ceviche is delicious. The sauce is spicy. If you like spicy- get this dish. Not your typical ceviche. The Mofongo is tasty. If you like Vinha D'Alhos. You'll like this dish. The steak had a marinated vinegar taste. The meat is also very tender. Service was good. Waitress was nice and welcoming.
