We went to a concert at the Mesa Art Center and went to dinner here before the show. We are so glad that we did! The food was delicious, if you like empanadas you will have a great selection. I loved the El Capitan. We also had both of their salads which were very fresh and delicious. The beer selection was good and we had wine. The wine was warmer than it should have been but was still good. The restaurant itself was really cute and mod. We enjoyed sitting on the covered patio watching the hummingbirds buzz around. Service was friendly and good. I highly recommend Empanadas Republica.
