Right above Sweet Octopus, Empanada House surprised me with their menu. I suppose it shouldn't have…read morebecause we're in Duluth, but they sell bubble tea here. I was curious about their tea, but there was a winter combo at the time that caught my eye more. I got their hot chocolate, traditional beef empanada, and bulgogi BBQ empanada. It was my first time having such a flaky empanada. The dough is nice and tasted good, I like that it's baked instead of fried, which I'm more used to. Out of both the empanadas I got, I would recommend the traditional beef because of the unexpected raisins that worked pretty well with the beef filling. The bulgogi was alright. The meat itself was a bit dry but the BBQ sauce helped with that. The hot chocolate was milky and great for the cold weather. Next to ordering, there's a fridge for bottled drinks and chilled empanadas. At the time, they only had beef and bulgogi, but I think it's cool that you can bake them at home at a later time. Since Sweet Octopus and Empanada House are in the same building, they seem to share seating space and the bathroom, which is on the lower floor. Food comes out fast and makes for a nice quick bite. There's one empanada that's for vegetarians, though I'm not sure if they don't use eggs for the dough, so vegans should check on that. Sweet empanadas sound good, and if I were to come again, I'd prob get one to try.

While my friend was ordering food at Sweet Octopus, I went upstairs to get some empanadas because…read morethat's what I was craving and had seen many good reviews about this place's. I ordered the goulash and traditional beef which came up to be around $10, and didn't take too long for it to be prepared. I brought my food downstairs, and there's plenty of tables to sit both upstairs and down. The flavor was flavoring!!!!! It was hot, fresh, and perfectly paired with the salsa they gave me!! I highly recommend if you're craving empanadas, but if not they also have other menu items like drinks and smoothie bowls. If you don't want those, Sweet Octopus is downstairs with their menu items!

It's part of a gas station property but no importa!…read more We felt like we were sitting in a local restaurant in Ensenada (not the tourist area). The facilities were modern, very clean and the staff, very kind and helpful. The food was delicious with the majority of the patrons being from Latino descent. We ordered chips with queso, 2 tamale and taco meals and a Carne Asada. Tasty, moist and flavorful tamales (one chicken and one pork with mild red sauce) as well as delicious tacos (Al pastor and birria). I've heard good things about the mole sauce but they were sold out of it. The steak was a little tough but the flavor was delicious. Honorable mention to the rice and beans and guacamole! Wow wow wow. The portions were really great also. So much so I needed a box for my taco. Overall great value with a lunch meal for 3 with an appetizer for about $50 bucks. Great experience!

We stopped by at breakfast-time and ordered: breakfast burrito: flavorful and good, plus easily split into 2 meals. comes with chips or fries. Fries were perfectly cooked and had a tasty seasoning on them. $13-14 breakfast plate: This was ok. It's billed as a scramble but is griddle scrambled and the eggs were very very hard cooked. I would prefer an overdone egg than a soft egg, so that was ok, but I would order them differently if I returned. There were lots of tomatoes, peppers and onions which was nice for flavor, but there were so many that there weren't many "curds" of scrambled eggs if that makes sense. The refried beans might be the tastiest I've ever had. The rice was "ok". The soft corn tortillas were very fresh. If not housemade, these are coming in every day for sure. $13-14 Rajas and cheese tamales: Didn't try these because of the cheese, but they were medium sized and smelled good $4 each Vegan black bean tamales: These come in banana leaves, which I've not had before. I could do without the flavor of the leaf, which is actually pronounced (this surprised me). The masa was lovely and the black bean filling was delicious and well seasoned. I like to pan fry my tamales to reheat and they were stellar the next day. $4 each The staff was friendly and handled accommodations (no dairy, corn tortillas instead of flour) smoothly. I would go again if I was in the area.

Quesitos is one of my favorite Venezuelan spots in Atlanta. The food is really good, especially the…read morebeef soup -- I love that they have it every single day. Most Venezuelan restaurants only serve it on Sundays, but here you can come anytime and they'll have it ready. That alone makes it worth coming back. The portions overall are generous and filling, but the empanadas are on the smaller side for the price. They do have a ton of different fillings though -- grilled beef, pabellón, chicken, cheese, ham and cheese, and more. My favorite is definitely the grilled beef one. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's a bit pricey. Two people can easily spend around $60. It's located inside a gas station, which actually makes it kind of cool -- they also sell a bunch of Venezuelan snacks and groceries there, though most of them are overpriced too. Still, it's super convenient since it's close to my house. Right next to Quesitos there's a small bakery that sells Venezuelan desserts like tres leches and brazo gitano, so you can really get all your cravings in one stop. The service today was amazing. A Mexican guy helped us and his attention was 10/10 -- super polite, friendly, and fast. That honestly stood out to me because sometimes service at Venezuelan restaurants can be hit or miss, but he did a great job. Just to clarify, I'm talking specifically about the Quesitos Express location on 3270 Steve Reynolds Boulevard in Duluth, Georgia. I couldn't find it here on Yelp, so I'm leaving my review under this one since it's the same company. Everything I mentioned (and the photo I'm adding) is from that location. Overall, Quesitos is a great spot for Venezuelan comfort food if you don't mind paying a little extra.

Love when I can find a Venezuelan restaurant serving great quick bites . Ordered a beef empanada…read moreand a pizza Pastelito . The beef empanada was great could use a little more seasoning but the green mayo sauce was wonderful with it . Sadly the Pizza Pastelito wasn't too good it had a very off flavor to it it was almost inedible .

This family restaurant has always hit close to home (vzlan immigrant 2010), as one of the first Venezuelan Restaurants in Duluth (if not the first!). It was honestly heartbreaking driving my the OLD location (2870 PIB) for almost a year hoping they'd return... and they're back!!! Mi gente Venezolana--- EPA is back with Stephanie Viloria as the Head Chef after receiving professional status & training in Spain. Bringing the new 'Haute Cuisine' add-on to its original name. 100 Sanitation score! Smaller than original location but the rebranding and nee curated space reflects elevated quality of food, service, and overall ambiance. Clean + equipped restrooms (for women). Excited to see how the music area is utilized during events! I apologize I did not take photos of actual food as we ate as soon as we were served, but I have attached some photos of the new menu, space, & the family behind the magic. All photos taken by me except for screenshots of their Instagram page!

The parking lot in the front was completely empty. Not a good sign on a Saturday night. It gave me pause and I considered trying a different place, but the one I checked out prior to this one was closed for repairs, and the one I tried prior to that one I literally could not find, so I decided to try it anyway. When I got there, it was empty, and I don't mean empty as in "the last few customers just left". I mean empty like "it's been dead all day". The staff were both sitting in the front chilling out. I thought, "Okay, so they've been a bit slow today." When I walked in the door, both the staff went in the back. Huh? I could understand the chef going into the back, but the wait staff?? She came back out front a few minutes later. I waited for her to direct me and when she didn't, answer minute or two later I asked, "Should I just sit anywhere?" She just nodded. Okey dokey. The first table I walked to still had food on the table from where it was not cleaned properly previously. The dishes and such were gone, but the staff had not washed it properly and you could see food on the tabletop. Yuk. I chose a different table, and sat. The waitress brought over the menu and a small basket with utensils, a straw and omelet green salsa. No chips or anything for the salsa, so I figured she would be bringing something for it later. I asked the waitress something about the menu items and honestly, she acted like I should know all this already. I ordered the mini bandeau paisa which was very tasty and I ate it all with no leftovers. It was served on a metal plate and I'm fairly certain it was warmed over, but it was the type of dish that is a bit better when warmed over so that was fine. I thought the waitress just plain didn't like me for whatever reason. Sometimes restaurants are not happy to see a single customer all by themselves, but about ¾ of the way through my meal, another couple came in and they got the same treatment. Mind you, the three of us at two tables were the ONLY customers in the restaurant. I saw no takeout orders or anything. Yet, the waitress acted like we were really taking it out of her to have her do her job. She served everything, but I don't think she gave even one smile the entire time. Honestly, even though the food was good, it was not good enough to make up for the feeling that I was not wanted in the restaurant. It's unlikely I will go back.

Way too many options around town when it comes to getting good Mexican food. Being at $25 a head at a minimum, this place is just not worth it.

Most of the prices are very affordable with less than $5 per item. The inside has a very industrial vibe with a very "sit and go" vibe and not a cafe. There is no wifi. Food was fine/ I got the $2.50 each chicken empañada and it was very filling. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Service, however, was lacking. When I entered, I had to wait a while before someone helped to come serve me. The gentleman looked very bored with a flat affect. He did not make eye contact and when I ordered my item, he did not acknowledge my order and instead went to the back of the store, brought out a colleague, and they started laughing in Spanish and stared at me.then he proceeded to give me my item, take my credit card and casually walk away.
