Republica Empanada is a treasure in Mesa! It is crazy to say that even their fries (Papas Fritas) are amazing! There seasonal Soups are to die for! So fresh and warming, the Sopa Verde should be on the menu year round! I don't care if it is 120 degrees outside in the summer, I want my Sopa Verde! Hearts of Palm & Avocado Salad, amazing! Arroz Con Pollo, are you kidding me, how can rice take this good, AMAZING! And they have tortas with the Papas Fritas, WHAT!? Have you noticed I haven't even mentioned the empanadas? It's because that is a no-brainier! You are not going to find better empanadas in Arizona, PERIOD! They have a nice courtyard, not to mention the beautiful Mesa Urban Garden right next door! If you haven't been here you are missing out!
