    Yummy! I've been dying to try this spot since they opened and it didn't disappoint! The empanadas I have heard others rave about were delicious! I tried the spinach, the chorizo and the chicken and surprisingly my favorite was the spinach! I was sad to hear they were out of some, including the corn, but that's just a motivation to come back! It was a really casual place - you get your drinks from a fridge and they have a little market for local businesses and Argentinian foods which adds to the ambiance. Our waiter (who I think is the owner?) was super knowledgeable and explained each of the desserts to us and why they were special. We tried the Ricotta cake (stellar!) and the Alfajor de Malcena (also delicious). The only bummer was the Spinach and Cheese Bunellos which were good, but a little over fried. I look forward to heading back to taste the rest of their menu!

    Right across the public parking lot in Milford, my friend and I saw this cute Argentinian restaurant called, Chimichurri. We weren't starving, but we could use a small snack. This place had light snacks and full meals. I don't know that I've been to an Argentinian restaurant previously. The inside is adorably decorated in Argentinian flare, the waitress wore their soccer jersey. We got three empanadas to share, the ground beef, mushroom, and spinach with cheese. These are small but filling. I only had the mushroom, and it was delicious! It was crunchy and flaky on the outside, but mushroomy and cheesey on the inside. Yum! My friend had the other two, and said she couldn't pick a favorite. We also got their traditional Chimichurri sauce for dipping. We also got their pinwheel, which I didn't realize till later was intended for kids. The pinwheel is a grilled wrap with mayo, cheese and ham. Then cut into little circles. This came with cucumbers and hummus. This was basic, but light and good. We also got cappuccino and jasmine tea. These came beautifully presented in ceramic mugs. They were delicious! We had a wonderful time at Chimichurri in Milford. I plan to return here when I'm in Milford more frequently for their beaches.

    I've been coming here consistently since they've open for the past 2 years. Primarily for breakfast, though I've come once or twice for lunch and plan to get the Chori Pan at some point. The food is great. Consistent and healthy. I often come with my kids and get them one of their baked goods and/or French Toast. For myself I'm often getting their Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Ciabatta. You can tell this isn't just your greesy deli BEC, but a well executed breakfast sandwich that works for a hangover or just a dad who needs to get out of the house with the kids in the morning. On that note, this place is great for kids. There's a little corner of the cafe with toys and play kitchen for young kids. Some places it's clear, they're not thrilled you're bringing your kids with you, but this place is quite the opposite. The owner's are parents themselves and it's clear they've embraced the family aspect of their cafe. Bonus points for having a front porch to enjoy your coffee.

    I'm very excited that there is finally an Argentinian restaurant in Connecticut that is close to home. Since I moved here, I've heard about places in the Hartford area but it was far for me and they closed before I was able to go try them. Usually, if we want to have Argentinian food, we have to go to restaurants in New York, but we don't do that very often. One of my friends told me last Friday that he saw that there was an Argentinian restaurant in the area and I thought he had to be mistaken, if there was an Argentinian restaurant in the area, I would've known (yes, I Google 'Argentinian restaurant' regularly). Well, after doing some online search I found out that they were opening that same weekend! I couldn't go to the inauguration, but we were there the following day. We entered Chimichurri, and it was like transporting us back to Argentina: the decoration, mates, yerba, Argentinian music sounding in the background, and people speaking Argentine Spanish! We ordered 2 milanesas napolitanas (beef cutlets topped with tomato sauce, ham and cheese), one with home fries and the other one with salad. We also ordered empanadas to go: beef, ham & cheese and spinach. Everything was amazing and super fresh and authentic. I will definitely go back to try the whole menu! Next time I'm ordering the parrillada because I saw it in other tables and it looked amazing! If you are Argentinian, you have to go check it out. If you are not Argentinian and want to try authentic Argentinian food, this is the place to go.

    Delicious meats. Friendly service. Great location near Milford harbor. Ambience is nice.

    I don't know how I never ordered from here before. My fiancée and I are still obsessed with what we ordered, he got the roast beef sandwich which he is still raving about. As for me, I had been searching for somewhere that does curry chicken salad. It's hard to find. They had it here! It was so good and had loads of flavor. The bread on our sandwiches were tasty and fresh. Your going to pay a little more for quality ingredients but it's worth it! Our sandwiches came with a little side of pasta salad. My portion was so big I had leftovers. We can't wait to try more on their menu, especially breakfast. Right across the street from a VFW and the marina parking. It's kind of hidden I've never even noticed it before.

    Nate's Plates is a cool spot within spitting distance from all the other restaurants and shops in downtown. I went there on a Friday afternoon and the place was empty. I ordered 3 sandwiches for my crew at home. I decided to get the Apple Tuna Sandwich and it was really good! I got it on a ciabatta bread. The bread was good but not earth shattering but still was a good vessel for the ingredients on the sandwich. The tuna salad was made perfectly! Great Mayo to Tuna ratio. My wife ordered the Pablo Pesto Chicken sandwich and I had half of hers and I thought it was pretty darn good too. Nothing out of this world but really a solid sammy. I'd be a little worried to come here during a lunch rush as I was only one ordering and it took some time. I guess you don't rush quality? Will for sure be back to try some of their other menu items!

    Cozy sit in or take out establishment located next to Milford harbor with fresh and healthy food options. I had a boating class across the street and i walked in for a bacon egg and cheese, it was delicious. The best tasting bec i had in a while, the thick cut bacon and ciabatta roll was a treat.

The menu and everything in the display cases looked so appetizing, we had such a difficult time choosing what to order!

Please upgrade the cheese and it will make the world of a difference to the meal!! I also had a hot tea with some pastries we got: Oreo cheesecake and an ombligo with a custard filling - absolutely delicious and perfectly sweetened. The inside decor was very nice and offered comfy soft seating to dine in with. I will definitely make a drive up soon from Norwalk to enjoy some more!

We tried the beef and the spinach/mushroom empanadas, a chocolate filled pastry and the alfajores. The empanadas were the proper baked Argentinian version. I thought the beef was very tasty but it lacked the chopped olive I associate with the Argentinian style. La Portena had no complaints about her spinach/mushroom version. The alfajores came in three sizes, something I did not realize when ordering. I would not repeat my order of the large size, the ratio of cookie to filling being off. The medium looked about right. The best item was a chocolate filled pastry, similar to a croissant that I had the next day. Flaky and light, it revealed some skill in the baking.

Every time I wanted to eat empanadas, I had to bake my own, and I usually prepare only one flavor because it is a lot of work... Back home, I was used to order empanadas of many different flavors and get them delivered whenever I had guests or I didn't want to cook. I was so happy when last year I found out about Jackie's Empanadas On the Go! I immediately placed an order and went to pick up my empanadas from their kitchen in Stamford (not a front store). I ordered frozen empanadas to stock up my freezer. They came with baking instructions and they came out perfect! I loved her empanadas but driving almost 1 hour from New Haven is not something I can do often. Last week, planning for Thanksgiving dinner, we decided to order empanadas again. I ordered online and I contacted Jackie to arrange pick up and luckily she was going to be in a holiday market in Westport that weekend, so she offered me to pick up there, saving me some driving time. We ordered Mushroom, Caprese, Ham & Cheese, Beef Malbec and Knife-Cut Steak. They were all a success! Our guests loved them! Also, when I went to pick up the empanadas, I bought a box of Alfajores de maicena (cornstarch cookie sandwich filled with dulce de leche) and a box of Medialunas (Argentinian croissants). They were absolutely delicious!!!! I wish I lived closer to order more often, but I will definitely order food from Jackie's again!
