    A friend recommended and did not disappoint! Hidden gem with big flavor. I grabbed the empanada…read morecombo with the spicy chicken empanada. It was crispy, flavorful, and had just the right kick. The rice and beans were comforting and well/seasoned and the plantains were sweet and caramelized to perfection. I'm also Cuban for what it's worth and had my fair share of rice, beans, and plantains! The tres leche coffee was a little sweet for me but still fantastic. I typically drink black coffee and just felt like trying something different. The inside is super cozy! Makes you feel like you're in someone's home (in the best way). Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. Nothing has survived long in this building...hoping this one stays!

    I don't know why it took me so long to come here. But I am so glad that I finally made it out to…read moreEmpanada Grill. This meal warmed my soul and eased my evening. On the edge of the Greensboro and Summerfield border, near the PTI airport, lies a small restaurant with big flavor and big heart. This location has been many things in the past, but I am hopeful that Empanada Grill will last forever. The menu is very simple , but nobody needs to make complicated empanadas. I would rather a place do a few things well than have a wide variety of things and be mediocre. Empanada Grill is as far from mediocre as you can get. I opted for their empanadas undressed in the traditional chicken style. It came with a side of rice and beans. You got to choose between red or black beans, and white, yellow, or traditional rice. I went with the black beans and traditional rice. This was enough food for two meals. I received my food to go, as I had a practice to get to, but there is a variety of seating areas within to accommodate groups of all sizes. The black beans deserve a picture of their own because they are basically a full meal themselves. I ate half before I remembered to take a picture because they were so good. I would definitely bring the family back to this restaurant, as we all love empanadas. I would love to try the traditional beef next time. The worst part about this trip? My car smelled like empanada the next day and I had no more empanada to eat. But that's a problem that can easily be solved with a trip back to my new favorite empanada place.

    I had been seeing the ads for this food truck for a while when I finally got a chance to order. It…read morewas $15 pick 1 item combo today and the wait time was 20 minutes. Unfortunately the food looked way better than it tasted. The presentation is very messy and the portions are really small. The chicken was hard and over cooked and the sauce went all over the sides. I asked for hot and they gave me some sweet sauce instead. The mac and cheese tasted like powdered milk and the baked beans had a heavy ketchup taste. I ended up throwing it away which says a lot for me because money is too tight and I don't waste food. There is a .75 cent fee for card use which I was not aware of and they also overcharged the sales tax as 8.25% instead of 7.25%. On the good side the staff are very friendly but the food needs a lot of work and those fees need correcting. Definitely not soul food.

    Let me start by saying that when they announce where they'll be people show up! And early! I…read morearrived at Walmart a few minutes after 1pm (they list their start time as 2) this past Saturday and they weren't there yet. Went inside for a brief purchase and the food truck was there with at least 10 people in line. 2pm came and they weren't ready. In my mind, the lady at the front could've said we'll be ready in just a moment but nothing. A few minutes later a guy said "come on up"! The food was really good although I thought a few more shrimp on the plate would've been worth the price. I'll definitely try again in hopes that they'll have more of their menu items when they come back to town.
