If you want great empanadas this is your go to place! We love the colombian and hawaiian empanada. That’s my personal favorite! The bandeja paisa is great as well. It can feed two people!

This is a multi cultural South and Central American restaurant with some Mexican fare. Lot of options, Food is great, and the only place I can get Columbian Empanadas, guava and cheese empanadas and a cuban sandwich. Ive been wanting the croquettas, but they’re always out of stock. AlthoughIt’s not Miami quality, its close. I need to try more things, and my husband loves the taco salad! I definitely recommend.

Good food and good service! Last time the food was salty and once we found some metal strings from cans in our beans but other than that, no issues.

Best Cuban sandwich outside Miami! Excellent! Nice and pressed, real pork – not the deli sliced substitute. That and the Colombian empanadas are my favorite.

This is a gem, humbly situated at the foot of the Madisonville bridge. Heavy Central American influence, not the usual TexMex fare. Wonderful homemade hot sauces, ( red, green, and chipotle). Delightful tacos, flan, Colombian corn empanadas, arepas, and several dishes I can’t pronounce. Where else can one find the elusive lengua (beef tongue) taco? Excellent fried sweet plantains. The restaurant space is small but tidy. They are well-suited for take- out. Easy to order online.
