I also ordered a chicken empanada and flan cake and could not believe how reasonably priced it was. The main item, chicken stew, was the least seasoned. Stews can be tricky as you need to over season or reduce the juices to build flavor. I love mom and pop establishments! Service will bring me back as I also want to try some of their other daily specials. Minimal seating (Two tables) This spot is located in a strip mall near the Truman Highway exit.

Anjuels Ricon Latino (ARL) has been on my Savannah hit list for some time and I finally got to…read morecheck it out last week after taking my car to the dealership to tune 'er up for the big road trip up to Coastal VA! The wait was long so I was RAVENOUS by the time I got there. - Parking - Center lot. Nabbed a space up front! - Vibe - It's a lot smaller than I expected! Nothing wrong with that, just an observation. Half the shop is the kitchen. There is just enough room to make a small line and then you are at the order counter with the hot buffet bed. People were streaming in in a steady flow. Many seemed like regulars because they just got right to ordering. There are only 2 tables for seating, and honestly, not sure if they are even allowing dine-in right now. I didn't ask because I was taking mine to go. The tables seemed pushed against the booth seat and the other was pushed against the window. As for decor, pretty simple. Dominican Republic on one side, Puerto Rico on the other. Fun and colorful. - Service - The lady who helped me was nice and took pride in explaining all the different dishes to me. I saw all the delicious options and was struggling with the choices. I just wanted a pinch of everything! - Noms & Sips - I just ended up telling her the things I wanted and she included the following items in my to-go box: *white rice & rice and beans - both very good, great accompaniment to soak up the sauces of the Pollo Guisado *(1/2 order) plantains - one small turn off was that one of two pieces of plantain I got was pretty hard and super starchy. It was probably a green one and got thrown in the batch too early. No biggie though. The sweet one I had was great! I love sweet plantains! *(1/2 order) yucca - it seemed to have been cooked with red onions? I saw purple (why do we call it red when it's clearly purple?!) pieces with it. I love yucca and these were great, because they almost seemed stewed, because they very soft and great with the rest of the components of the meal. *Pollo guisado - I'm pretty sure that is the name of the dish. It was stewed chicken (only drums and thighs) in a red sauce. Super flavorful, chicken was tender and use-your-hands-suck-the-bone-off good and the lady hooked me up and poured some more sauce over the rice. Empanadas- I also wanted to try these because I like to try a little bit of everything. They are fried to order. I got one chicken and one beef. They are quite large! They were both good, but I think I preferred the shredded chicken over the ground beef. Passion Fruit Juice - It was good, sweet enough for me, but probably really sweet for you? My visit to ARL was bittersweet, because I think it was the first, but also most likely the last time before our big move. I'm sad , but also happy that I got to try it and check it off my list before I go! Pro tip: tune in to their social media handles to find out what they have cookin' for the week! This is a truly mom-and-pop place offering home cooking. They only have a handful of items on the hot bed and make one specialty per day or week. They make certain items made to order. Stay safe, Friends!

Visited Antojo Latino Colombian Restaurant while in Savannah and decided to give it a try based on…read morereviews--and we're glad we did. At first glance, the location feels a bit hidden and slightly awkward. When we arrived around 5:30, there was only one other couple there. The space is small, and there was a slight musty smell, likely due to the building being older. The menu is extensive but not very descriptive--adding photos would definitely help first-time visitors. We started with the empanadas, and they were hands down the best we've had at any Colombian restaurant across the U.S.--fresh, perfectly filled with potato and meat, and paired with a flavorful green sauce that really stood out. For entrées, my husband ordered the bandeja paisa and I had the rolled chicken. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The chimichurri sauce served with the chicken was especially good and added great flavor. Overall, despite the ambiance and menu limitations, the food truly shines. We'll definitely be back when we're in town!

This place gets very busy and crowded, so if dining here for dinner get here at 5 or a bit beforehand. I ordered beef empanadas for my appetizer, and they were oh so delicious!

Savory and delightful. I also enjoyed the steak, seasoned well! Though I felt the steak could have also been grilled a'lot more, is it lacked the grilled char and was rare in certain parts. For dessert, I ordered tres leches cake. This was luscious and creamy + tasty!!! I did feel like they went overboard with the salsa. All in all, I enjoyed myself and would return again. Cheers!
