I wanted to like this place more. Perhaps my experience with home made empanadas from a variety of sources growing up makes me more critical than the average yelper for this type of food. We tried the fried appetizer. It had a fried yukon, tostones (non ripe platanos) and platanos. Having spent a few years in Puerto Rico where these are served quite commonly I would say it was okay. I tried the chicken and beef empanadas along with a meal that included rice, beans and another forgettable side. The filling on the empanadas was generous. However, they seemed to lack spice and flavor. They were actually quite bland for my taste. The highlight of the meal was the fig and cheese empanadas. If I go back to this restaurant it will be to enjoy this dessert again. For the low price of the meal you really can't go wrong. But some of the reviews claiming they serve the best empanadas are a bit over inflated in my opinion.
