We got the daily special which was Colombian sausage. It was okay, honestly it was a grease bomb. The dipping sauces were great tho. I wish we would have chose a different protein.

I Love Empanadas is a true hidden gem in the Cargo District. From the first bite, you can tell these empanadas are made with care and serious flavor. The crust is perfectly golden and crisp, and the fillings are packed with bold, satisfying ingredients. The sauces take it to another level. They're the kind of extras you start craving on their own. The staff is super friendly, and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. It's the kind of place you go once and immediately start planning your next visit. If you're in Wilmington and want something quick, delicious, and made with love, this spot is a must.

Beef and pork empanadas

One of the best empanadas I've ever had. The sauces just add so much more goodness to it! But let me tell you the plantain chips!!!! Need I say more!

Folks Cafe - Ham omelette with croissant

Que rico! We always go here for the empanadas and the fresh baked pastries. Mama is very sweet to…read moreus and always enjoy seeing her smile. Very crowded on the weekends so get there early if you plan to dine in for breakfast with a large family or group!

Cute, cozy and quaint cafe. Parked for Free on the street. Not many tables inside, but there were…read morestill open spots for us to sit down. For breakfast, tried the meat lover omelette, egg and cheese, croissant sandwich, and two empanadas (beef and choripan). I liked how all of the dishes were garnished with fresh spinach leaves and an orange wedge, making them look colorful and appealing. My partner enjoyed his omelette, which included chorizo and julienned ham slices. Omelette was presented differently than the typical omelette, with it cooked/shaped as a bowl and stuffed in the middle with fillings. They don't make croissants in the house, but they bake them so it's nice and crispy. It was very filling. Next time I'll add ham to it to give it a salty taste. Empanadas were delicious. Served with a chimichurri sauce. Beef empanada was a little bit on the sweeter side. Their espresso machine was broken so they only had black coffee. Black coffee was alright, nothing special, but, it was nice to drink hot coffee out of a mug, making me feel like I was at home. They have coffee cards, which you hole punch yourself. You get a free coffee after getting 10 hole punches. If you care, your clothes might have a little bit of a cooking smell after being in the café for a while.

We started off with the chips and trio dips: queso, salsa and guacamole! It was tasty! The chips are seasoned, salsa and queso were fire and guacamole was FRESH! Empanadas were next, and let me tell you..These mouthwatering empanadas were perfect! Nice and crispy on the outside and the filling was juicy and tasty! It was topped off with lettuce, tomato and sour cream. I added some of that salsa from trio dip and it was amazing! Carne asada burrito was so HUGE and that we weren't able to finish it! Had the perfect ratios and the meat was plentiful, tender and flavorful! If you're hungry and looking for a good meal, this burrito will definitely fill you up! 10/10 recommend! We also ordered the carne asada bowl. It is everything the burrito is minus the tortilla. It was equally delicious and super filling as well! We ordered the carne asada tacos which were also great! I would recommend the tacos over the burrito if you're hungry but don't want to get too full. For dessert we ordered the fried platanos and churros! Platanos are my favorite!! These were so good and the churros were AMAZING! Haven't had a churro in years and this definitely satisfied my craving for it! Thanks to the chef and staff for being patient and kind to us! If you're in the area and looking for a place to fill you up, Capricho is it! 10/10 recommend!
