First timer here, i tried their Beef Empanada and it’s good. Paid $2.75 including tax for a piece and its not bad. They sell different fillings of empanadas and also lots of other latin/ mexican hot foods on the other counter. It gets quite busy during lunch time. Service is ok. The place is clean, feels homey.
Tasty food at unbeatable prices. Clean with a good variety of lunch items to choose from. Everyone was courteous and smiling. Lunch is highly recommended.
I was passing through and stopped there to load up on all the things I missed eating from there when I lived in Orlando years ago. Imagine my delight in seeing that they are still open and thriving!! I missed going there so much!! The mondongo still tasted as amazing as it did 13 years ago!! The quesitos, superb!! I couldn't get everything they served, though, because I was driving for several hours from FL to MD. I miss them!!
The food, vibes and people is a perfect combination for a great meal!!! Great staff makes you feel like having your meal at home. Everything I had tried is delicious. Made of this my local place. Cakes and pastry’s are also delicious and fresh.
