Every single bite is packed with flavor and you can taste immediately that these are the real deal -- homemade, authentic, and made with actual care and love. The price is fantastic which honestly makes it even more dangerous because there is absolutely nothing stopping you from ordering way more than you planned. And you will. Trust me. This is not your average empanada. This is the kind of food that takes you somewhere -- the kind that makes you wonder why you ever settled for anything less. If you consider yourself even a casual fan of empanadas you need to get here immediately because Amado's is on a completely different level. Absolutely incredible. Cannot recommend enough.

Cons: To be honest, we should've known better once we saw the neighborhood we were in that this wasn't going to be a true Cuban sandwich but we decided to give it a try anyways. We've never had such a dry sandwich before; the Cuban bread was soft, but the roast pork was extremely dry to the point we had to go in to buy a second drink to help wash down that & super dry yuca ( didn't taste like yuca) fries that don't come with any sauce. Ketchup mayo and mustard packets were available. We expected better quality for the price we paid.

The appetizer platter also comes with the same kind of plantain chips. Highly recommended if you want to try a bit of everything. Empanada has fresh homemade crust Lechon asado: tender and juicy roasted pork. I substitute the moros with fried plantains. I really enjoy it. Plantains are ripe and sweet but not mushy. Tostones are the biggest I've ever had. Well fried and not greasy. Plenty of drink options. Sangria is ok, not very fruity. Only has two slices of oranges . Mojito: strong rum from my favorite rum brand Don Q. My friend ordered paella. The portion is huge. You can share it with more than one person. It takes three containers to take home the leftover. Very tasty with fresh seafood.

Dan said he'd talk to his boss and came back to say the shard matches the chip in the glass perfectly and apologized and said they'd comp part of the meal. 4. We never received a check but his manager brought me the device to swipe my card. I foolishly did without asking to see the bill. Got it texted to me when I noticed that nothing was comped AND we got charged for a pastry I didn't receive. 5. I went inside and asked for the pastry to go since we were charged for it. The manager tried to charge me for it a SECOND time. 6. My friend pointed out that nothing was comped and that isn't what they agreed to. They apologized and said they'd comp the whole meal. 7. The WHOLE charge hit my credit card today. I'm disputing the charge with my credit card company but I would definitely not return.
