What a surprise! We were expecting a bit of Latin in the strip mall off Woodruff and got A LOT of…read moreit. I had glanced at the menu on the way there but didn't realize how extensive it was. Our waiter was a superstar- in talking with him he shared he was from Ecuador and made suggestions for our lunch choice. We started with the beef and chicken empanadas- very good- and an order of maduros- ripe plantains. We should have stopped there because I was almost full at that point. For our entrees we chose shrimp mofongo- which we really see in small cities being that it is the national dish of Puerto Rico- and the paella for one. Both were wonderful. I would argue that the size of the paella should be be renamed as a lid of a trashcan serving. It was giant and we barely put a dent in it before asking for a to go box. I highly recommend this spot!

What a great find for Latin food! The mofongos were delicious--very close to the ones I had in…read morePuerto Rico. The only thing I'd change is using fresh-caught shrimp to give it more of that seaside flavor. The whole red snapper with coconut sauce was also full of flavor. We really enjoyed the mango and guava juices, and the tres leches dessert was amazing! Definitely a highlight of the meal. Other things we liked: the decor was nice, our waitress was a friendly young lady who made the experience pleasant, and the restroom was very clean. Overall, a solid spot for tasty Latin dishes and a comfortable atmosphere.

One has to look for pupusas in Asheville, but I found some on the west side of town.

Ordering two pupusas and a tamale yielded a lighter meal than I'd anticipated, with these being among the smaller such items I've ever had. The taste was solid, but I wasn't as impressed as I was hoping to be.

Always friendly servers, as it is a family owned business, and you feel at home and welcomed in the laid back dining room. Be sure to stop here & then take yourself to the goodwill bins for some treasures! (Or vise versa depending on how hard you work to find said goodies at the bins)

We tried the ropa vieja (beef) and pernil (pork). I liked the pernil a lot better - the ropa, though their most popular entree, was a bit bland. The plantains in those dishes were very tasty, but I wish they put some more - was a bit skimpy. The outdoor seating was nice, with the string lights and benches, on a summer day with the sunset.
