Local & family owned & operated. Brand new & clean. Quick service. The food is AMAZING!! We tried all 3 empandas; chicken, beef, cheese. Not pictured because we devoured them. We shared Pollo trio tacos with cucumber Pico, crema & chihuahua cheese and the Carne mechanda trio tacos. Very flavorful & seasoned. The rice and beans were well seasoned & cooked deliciously. My son loved the elotes & caramel ice cream. You can pick your toppings or have a bowl. Customize your order. It was great!!!

Delicious flavors. Similar to the original once. I’d like to see more options and vegan.

I had the arepa and elote and my friends had the tacos. All the food was fantastic. It is kind of expensive for what you get. Arepa was small and serving of rice in beans come in a tiny little cup. The music was very loud where we couldn’t really hear each other across the table.

There’s NOTHING I wouldn’t order again. The food is delicate but hearty and beautifully prepared. It’s comfort food that could compete with any gourmet Latin Cuisine. AMAZING! Nothing left to photograph- oops!

We have a great time in this place. The concept is very interesting ereand bring flavors from all over Latin America. The star of the show is the arepas. They are very well prepared and also delicious.

There weren’t as many people eating in when we did, but the food was made fresh and well worth the wait, which was only 10 minutes, give or take. Our waitress/ I think, possibly one of the owners, was incredibly patient and kind with us. She even gave us recommendations while we decided, which honestly helped. The food was SO flavorful and filling! I got the arepa with the beef and my bf got the chicken bowl with rice. The avocado sauce IS A MUST!! Phenomenal food, staff, and atmosphere AND a super clean bathroom is five stars from me!

The only drawback about this place is that I can’t order and eat the entire menu, but that’s really on me. I especially enjoyed the ice cream and churros here.

We’ll be back to try other combinations. Much better than the previous hotdog place. Not duplicate of Burrito Paradise.

Excellent food! Excellent owners! Hopefully this does not remain a secret for long. Patacon and the empanadas were fantastic. Also reasonably priced.

This place has really good food. It’s nice to have something different to choose to eat in the area. Both times I’ve gone I’ve gotten an arepa and enjoyed them. The food does not taste overly salty. It all tastes fresh. The woman at the counter is very friendly. The prices are very reasonable too. I’ll definitely be coming back.
