Loaded chicken burrito
Jennifer T.

I order delivery from here all the time. They are super quick and reliable. I love the torta milanesa de pollo, and chicken burrito. Recently I tried the nachos locos w steak. Honestly a banger 10/10.

Bone i pulled out my mouth from the shredded chicken Flautas!!!
Ashanti L.

Ordered 20 mins before closing so i didn't expect the freshest best food. I received exactly what i expected! Ordered 1 Flautas with rice and beans. Flautas was hard and seemed old like they re fried old ones. PLUSSS, i found a BONEEE IN ONE OF THEM!! I almost swallowed a bone! (I was hungry and was eating too quick) thank God i realized it smh. Rice and beans had barely any flavor just like the chicken Flautas.... Food is ok probably would order again just please check your chicken for bones!! No good Also i paid cash and was supposed to receive $8 change was going to tip the delivery guy $5 until he took it upon HIMSELF to only hand me $1 of MYY change ??! Like first don't assume I'm giving you a $7 tip i was going to do $5 but don't take change and hand me only $1 felt that was disrespectful and when i gave him the $5 he stood at my door staring at me CREEPILY! I had to close the door omg. Weird

Taco de Chorizo ( Mexican Sausage)  a bit spicy  with Nopal.

After trying different dishes here, I can say yes, is a great place to eat Mexiacan food. The Bandeja Campesina at 15.00 is great if you are feeling very hungry, so much food, I had to take the rest home. The guacamole is excellent, was able to find bits of avocado and onions in it. The tamarind juice, you can skip is too watery, settle for a can of juice. They do have vegetarian meals.

Some delicious Steak Fajitas

I love this locally owned restaurant, my parents used to bring me here as a kid. Now I continue to come with and without them. I've tried different plates throughout the years but my personal favorites are the tamales and the taquitos (small tacos) they're both only $1.50 each.

I actually like their Carne Asada tacos better than Matamoros. I pretty much just go for those. And the Bohemias.

Niko is so cool! My friends and I came here after a drag show and somehow had just as much…read moreentertainment as the drag show! Niko was so cool and funny and tolerated our ridiculousness. He gave us great recommendations from the menu and had a really good energy about him. We started with some guacamole and it was pretty tasty. But the fish tacos? They were some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. Maybe it's because they were thick pieces - not tiny cut up fish bits - and they were fresh and hot and crispy! The sauce on them was so good and packed a nice punch and the lime delivered a perfect amount of acid. These were stellar and I would come back for these any day. I thought the meal wouldn't get better, but then we all shared a Cuban sandwich and wow! It was better than some of the ones I've had in Miami. I was totally floored after this meal! We weren't expecting anything big, but this was bombastic, and I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone I know! The fact that the staff is so cool, the place is so cute, and the food is so good makes this an easy choice for a neighborhood hang out.

My rating is solely on the empanadas and the customer service we received. We needed a mid…read moreafternoon snack before dinner and an empanada was the perfect option. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in and saw how cute the restaurant was. I had passed by many times but for some reason I thought it was a more casual take out place but I was very wrong. They renovated in 2023 and they did an amazing job, the bar, color and table settings were all so aesthetically pleasing. The waitress that was there was so nice and attentive and even offered us water while we waited for our empanadas. We opted to try the corn chicken empanadas which comes with chicken, potatoes and saffron inside. They were delicious and exactly what we needed to hold us over until our late dinner plans. I'll definitely be visiting them for a proper meal or drinks at their beautiful bar!

This is a small spot but the three of us loved it. For dining in, I personally don't recommend more…read morethan 3 (maybe 4, you can look at photos of the seating) but you could also take out and sit in a nearby park. I am an empanada fan, it's truly one of my favorite foods and they have an assortment of flavors to enjoy. Our favorites as a group varied - someone really liked the oxtail and mole, I really liked the potato and cheese and the pabellon. We also tried the morir soñando because I'm chasing the high of one I had at a cuchifritos spot in the Bronx and it might be a matter of preference, but this one was just okay to me. But def recommend the empanadas.

The sweetness from the plantain mixed with the savory shredded beef was a magnificent combo - Corn Carne Mechada, similar to the above, the shredded beef was very flavorful - Corn Pollo, this was your basic chicken empanada so solid choice but nothing stood out, I wish it had cheese - Corn Pollo en Mole Rojo, I didn't really like the flavor profile and wouldn't order again They all came with sauces that were all so good and went very well with the empanadas. They had a spicy one, green one (avocado?) and pink (ketchup/mayo). The cashier was really nice and recommended some to try. They were out of the oxtail at the time. They fried up the empanadas fresh and were done pretty quickly. I do wish they would have labeled the empanadas so I knew what I was eating. The store is pretty small but there is seating and a bathroom. All of my friends enjoyed their empanadas as well and we would all go back!

OMG!! These…read moreempanadas are seriously the best tasting empanadas I ever had. Immediately I was going to rate them lower due to size and no labeling but the taste was truly made with lots of love. I ordered 4 via Ubereats, totaling roughly $24 with 3 sauces. I ordered the Chicken macaroni and cheese, Ropa Vieja, Americano and a Pastelon. Every single one of them were on point, warm and crispy. My only true complaint is that they're super small. Better for my calorie intake I guess lol. The meat was extremely well seasoned, cheese was melted, plantain was sweet. The edges were crispy and the flavors together were delicious. The avocado sauce is way too thick. It's more like a thick heavy cream. The pink sauce is your typical mayo ketchup. There is absolutely no way of knowing which empanadas are which. They need a better concept so that customers know especially if they're ordering as a group to share. I've never seen an empanada place not label their empanada. I read a google review from the owners saying they put it on the package on the bottom corner but that is a lie. It's not on the empanada itself or on the packaging. Overall I'm still ordering from here again : )

Empanadas are good, but you can have a better variety and more flavorful ones in other locations…read moresuch as Mama's Empanadas and for less. Not worth the prices. In addition, to charge for the sauce à la carte is insane. Every empanadas spot I've been to provides the sauces at no cost. Be better Empanadas City. Also it doesn't take too much time to list on the bag the type of empanadas purchased. Having it stamped on the empanadas ( which when fried, not all stamps are legible) isn't effective when you have to remove every single one out the bag to see which one is it. Don't know about you but I don't think the average person enjoys their food touched before they get to consume it. This is okay if you purchasing just for yourself but when a family orders together it's not the best system.

No greeting, no "I'll be right with you" as I'm just standing there waiting to order. Even though we ordered around the same time, my friend got her empanada first while I sat here for over 7 minutes waiting for mine. How difficult is it to reheat these empanadas? It wasn't until I had to walk up to the lady at the cash register to ask about the status of my order. She then gives me my bag that was just sitting behind the counter. Did they not bother to call my name/order number? And trust me, I was listening diligently to make sure I hear my order when called. Like I said, empanadas tasted good, big in size and packed with meat. Not sure if this is a sketchy part of town or just where the riff-raffs hang out soo that may explain the lack of care here. A place to just order your empanadas and move on with your day.
