    Two empanada plate and apple empanada dessert. About $30
    Dan S.

    Beware of several fake 5 star reviews (most reviewers only have one review on record and no photo) I was quite disappointed with the empanadas. The oil temperature in their fryer is too low. My empanadas were soggy and soaked in oil. Each bite resulted in oil dripping down my face and on the plate. I had the beef empanada and it was way too cheesy. I really felt gross eating these and left much of it over. They were quite expensive and I was surprised by the additional charge for the tiny cup of salsa. The tomatoes were not enjoyable, I've had this Chilean salad elsewhere and it was better.

    Cheese Empanada and Mushroom Empanada

    My husband and I have passed here so many times and always said we wanted to stop in, and we finally did! We were greeted by Javi who had a big smile on his face and offered up suggestions on what to get. We each got a cheese empanada and then I got mushroom and my husband got the pork. They were DELICIOUS! Authentic Chilean empanadas made to order, they offer different sauces to dip in too. We ordered a red pepper aioli and the cilantro lime crema, both incredible. The entire time we were there was beautiful Latino music playing. It was the perfect lunch - we will be back ASAP to visit Javi and Lorena!

    I finally got a chance to try Lorena's Empanadas and I was not disappointed at all. The owner, Lorena, was there, cooking away. The staff is friendly. I ordered the cheese and meat empanadas with a side of chili sauce. The empanadas were made right then and there and were fresh and hot. When I got home to eat them, the dough was crisp and not overcooked. The meat was a little spicy but not crazy hot and delicious. The cheese empanada was equally delicious and the sauce was a nice touch - just the right amount of spice. I highly recommend going here - you will NOT be disappointed!

Ambiance/atmosphere: really nice and quite inside. The place wasn't too big, but not small enough you couldn't find a secluded spot if you wanted to. Nice music, vibrant color, and a really nice smoothie bar. Food: I ordered the steak and papas and it was delicious. Very well seasoned filet with crispy and fluffy soft potatoes with rice and really good pickles pink onions. I added quac and cheese onto it after mixing things together and when I ordered an extra side of steak they really hooked me up. So delicious. My dad ordered the patacon which has a very large and perfectly friend piece of savory plantain and topped with chicken and added steak with quac, lettuce, tomato, and a side of rice and black beans. For starters we ordered the yuca which was perfectly fried and crispy with a really good garlic aioli and cheese blanket over top. We also ordered the sweet madudo(sweet plantain) which came with cheese and was perfectly sweet and tender. So delicious. The side of tostones(savory plantain) was again perfectly friend and salted and with that garlic aioli dip and quac with pico de gallo it was fantastic. The empanadas came with all types of flavors. The beef was my favorite and had an amazing juicy, salty, and tangy flavor with the crispy casing. I'll say to skip the chicken, it was bland and had no flavor. My mom ordered the dessert empanada with cheese and a fruit inside and she said it was delicious and I'll say I can second that. The smoothies were delicious and had plenty of options to choose from. My mom ordered a Columbian milk coffee and said it was one of the greater ones she's tried, possible the best.

    For our 56 th wedding anniversary we decided instead of Portsmouth and York's fine restaurants we…read morewould try the Kennebunkport area . We chose the Lost Fire which was a great decision. After driving 40 minutes we arrived 10 minutes early as they don't open until 430; no problem ,they saw us in the parking lot and waved us in. Unusual as most places guard the door to the second. They sat us immediately, and introduced us to our server Alyssa ,who turned out to be the most knowledgeable , professional person we have ever met. And we have been dining out and working in the industry for many years! The fun began; my wife ordered her Filet Mignon and I asked Alyssa what she recommended , shocking me she said The Skirt Steak with marbled potatoes with the empanadas as an appetizer. I was certain she would have said the Porterhouse or Tomahawk to upsell us but she was spot on as it was incredibly tender and flavorful . In summary it was the most delightful fine dining experience we have ever enjoyed! Thank you Alyssa and your incredible chefs and fellow servers for unforgettable 56 anniversary dinner!

We wanted to try a little bit of everything, so decided on the mixed grill for 2, with mashed potatoes and fires on the side. We started with the focaccia bread and oil dressing that were very good. We also got the enchiladas, one spicy cheese and the other beef. These were okay, nothing crazy but enjoyable. However, the mixed grill was simply not worth the money. The sausage was over cooked, strip steak flavorless and the long short ribs were tough. The chicken was okay, but nothing better than anywhere else I've had grilled chicken before. Our waitress Jennifer was amazing. And when she asked how our experience was, she could see by the lack of food we had eaten, and the expression on my face, we were not impressed. We ended our meal with the tres leches cake that was very good. Overall, this place is a gimmicky tourist trap that over charges for their "atmosphere" and prays you get drunk off their $250 wine before you order. I thought for sure it would be decent, and was wrong. I would hate to see the quality in peak tourist season. Leaving hungry was not something I imagined.

The decor is funky, fun, and welcoming with cool music playing in the background. Our server had a bunch of tables to take care of, but we never felt neglected and she was super cheerful, too. We shared the crispy rice cake with the added bonus of Mexican grilled cheese on top of it. My partner really enjoyed her bountiful and large Cobb Salad. I had the Porchetta sandwich which was tender and juicy and piping hot! Street is tucked in the back of a sorta strip mall, but it's worth your effort to find it!

You'll find Greek, Korean, Mexican, and classic American pub favorites all in one place--yet everything feels thoughtful and well-executed rather than all over the map. The dishes we tried were very good, with the empanadas standing out as a clear favorite--crispy, flavorful, and generously filled. I'm already looking forward to going back so I can try their bánh mì sandwich, which caught my eye on the menu. On my last visit, I ordered the gyro along with the curry fries; both were solid choices, with the fries having an especially nice kick. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the staff delivers consistently friendly, attentive service. It's the kind of place where you can try something new every time you go and still walk away happy. I'll definitely be returning for another round. Bon appétit!
