| - A bright place, small and homey, with friendly staff. The menu, written in colored chalk up on the back wall, is large & diverse and definitely not just empanadas.
Tested the Chimichanga plate and La Chilena empanada. (9.95 + 2.75 + taxes. Enough for two euro-size stomachs)
The Chimichanga was a 10" flour tortilla, folded to hide chicken that was well acquainted with the Maillard process, painted with a healthy layer of guacamole on top, served with a side of moist, savory, stock-cooked rice, and a romaine salad with olives and onions dressed with delicious, well-made vinaigrette.
The empanada was ground beef and black olives in a well-browned dense bready shell.
Everything, the chicken, beef, rice, salad, were all well-seasoned and good quality.
Carafes of self-serve water and cups are available in the bottom shelf of the drink cooler.
Order at the counter. Dishes will be delivered when ready (about 10 minutes when it's quiet). Pay at the counter when done. Cash or debit, but not credit card.
Will definitely be back.
