I was surprised (in a good way) that a fork, knife and spoon was automatically provided. Most restaurants only place a fork and knife on the table and I always have to request a spoon with my meal. This tissi had beautifully charred skin and tender, white meat. It was love at first bite. The chunk meat is fairly large and it will make a great leftover meal for the next day. As a bonus, a tall pitcher of complimentary chilled water is provided. This location only accepts cash, so please plan accordingly. As I was leaving, I unintentionally left a personal belonging on the restaurant table. My server stepped outside the restaurant and brought me my item. This is one of my better dining experiences from start to finish; the chef and servers clearly go above and beyond. #casaadela #halfrotisseriechicken

It became clear that the restaurant was extremely short-staffed, which we understood and tried to be patient about. When we informed the waitress that our daughter was becoming fussy and that we might need to leave if the food didn't arrive soon, her response was disappointing. She became visibly upset and was overheard complaining about us to another customer, saying we were unreasonable for considering leaving because they were short-staffed. The food was actually very good, which makes this experience even more unfortunate. We completely understand that staffing challenges happen, but as parents, our priority is our child.

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 : )

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.
