Republica Empanada is a fun a different spot, didn't disappoint with its offerings.
Why go there:
It's empanadas. One of those things you can get a few of, share with friends and try a bunch of different flavors. They have some good samplers available if you have never had that type of Latin American fare. All were fairly well executed, the portions were fair for the price, they have tons exotic and domestic beers available with your meal.
They greet with you with a jalapeƱo cilantro sauce that'll be a key accompaniment to your meal!
Don't miss:
The Yucca fries were excellent. Surely a time consuming treat to make yourself, their plantains were also very well done. The chicken empanada was filled well and very tasty.
Overall:
All stuffing is made in house, though the shells are not. Though the place is great for something different. The stuff inside was somewhat tame on flavor, but the sauces you get with it helps everything. Neat place, friendly staff, nice little dining room and patio.
