Hip little place within walking distance of the last stop on the new light rail extension to Mesa. The offer a wide variety of empanadas, which are little hand held pastries that have various fillings and are then fried. Good selection of beers in the bottle but nothing, thus far, on draft and that is something they may wan to consider, if they have room, as this is definitely beer friendly food.
My friend and I also had the combo appetizer platter with both the fried ripe plantains and the smashed and fried green ones - came with some good good sour cream like dipping sauce but my favorite sauce was the spicy green sort of salsa like sauce - seemed to go good on everything.
I finished the meal with the fig, cheese and caramel empanada - not quite as exciting as I thought it would be (I would prefer fig jam in it versus whole dried figs) but glad I got it with the ice cream. I'm not a big desert person so will probably stick with just the savory versus the sweet ones in the future.
The best deal seems to be their Monday and Tuesday evening specials - any four beers and any four empanadas for only $20 - which is about a $30 discount when you take into account the beer at happy hour prices ($4 a bottle).
I will definitely be back to this place - especially as the weather cools down and you can sit outside on their nice patio.; -)
