| - BEEF EMPANADA
totally wonderful. for $3.99, you get a big empanada that's stuffed with beef, onions, olives and chunks of hard-boiled egg. the empanada is flavourful and juicy. i love the way the egg balances the flavours with a more mild taste. it's a must-get.
CHEESE EMPANADA
meh. it's tasty. i mean, it's melted cheese inside fried dough/pastry. but that's the thing: that is exactly what it tastes like - melted cheese and fried dough. nothing too special. but i went today and the person in front of me ordered 10 of them. and the person before him ordered three of them. so...give it a try. it's only $1.85 or something close to that (it's a mini empanada).
CHILEAN SALAD
lettuce, avocado, onions, tomatoes, dressed in a cilantro and olive oil dressing. don't order it unless you just need to have something refreshing and light. it's nothing special at all. i could not taste a bit of cilantro in the dressing, which was really disappointing because the cilantro was a big part of why i ordered the salad. also, the description for the salad on the wall said that there was going to be broccoli; nope, no broccoli in my salad. for $5, i wouldn't order this bland salad again.
THE SALSAAAAAA
this place makes fantastic salsa! i can't get enough. it's got this wonderful kick to it. it's spicy and sour. they sell the salsa in containers (S, M, L). everyone loves their salsa. i don't know why the counter people always ask if the customers want salsa because it's one of the reasons i go back!
CONS
1. gets very hot in the summer
2. pretty slow service (not a good combo with #1)
3. basically no waiting area (lots of people take out), which makes it awkward and squishy (also not a good combo with #1 and #2).
