Had some delicious empanadas from Pedro's at this year's Bay View Bash. I have an "always get…read moreempanadas" rule and it almost never lets me down - this was no exception. The cart had tamales & tostones which looked great (and based on Rick's review I probably should have grabbed a tamale) but my "empanadas 4ever" rule was in effect so I got 3 tasty pockets of goodness for $10. There were probably 6 flavors to pick from but I ended up with spinach/artichoke (sounded interesting), beef picadillo and meat/potato. I loved them all - each was good sized, well filled and full of fresh things. The standout for me was the picadillo one but honestly, I just wanted to get right back in line and eat empanadas until someone called the rescue squad. The folks working were really hustling to keep the line moving and were super nice. If you see this cart and pass it by, you're not living your best life.

Then you get to your filling of choice - and there are many. I chose the Aji de Gallina, corn & cheese, and sweet potato empanadas. They were all delicious as were the yellow pepper and cilantro dipping sauces. I'll definitely be back and I look forward to trying their location with the full menu! Also, it's so easy to order online and do curbside pick up from crossroads collective. Very highly recommend that process!

Do yourself a favor if you haven't already been to Triciclo's restaurant location on Vliet St., you'll be happy that you did! Since I work in the area on Tuesdays, I've instituted my own #takeouttuesday mission for carryout on the East Side, before heading home. Crossroads Collective does have limited indoor dining at this time, but I weighed my empanada options and went with the frozen take & bake variety, three large empanadas with the same filling. My faves are the Sweet Potato, and also the Lomo Saltado seasoned beef which was my choice! Take & bake comes with simple instructions, and I even did the egg wash that they recommended. My only wish is that takeaway frozen variety also came with a small sauce, because that would certainly be appreciated. I purchased a small container of the cilantro sauce, which was great! Hit 'em up in the Crossroads Collective! And maybe institute a #takeouttuesday mission of your own!

If you haven't tried Peruvian food, don't let that stop you from giving this place a try! The empanadas are AMAZING! Crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. And that green sauce... WOW! It's a must-try and the perfect addition to the empanadas. Honestly, I could go back just for those! We also tried the beef stew, which was full of flavor and had that comforting, homemade, cooked-with-love taste. We sampled a little bit of everything, and each dish offered something different and delicious. The restaurant is clean, the service is friendly and professional, and the whole experience feels warm and welcoming.

The menu features small plates meant for sharing among your table. I recommend asking your server for their favorites and going from there. Try a variety of dishes! You can't go wrong. The drink menu is on point. I personally love a bottle of wine for the table. Do not skip on their desserts! Delicious. The ambiance is classy but casual. Parking can be a little bit tricky in the area but never a big hassle.
