Kathleen O: Jalapeño tequila can be used for any type of fruit..try strawberry..food is amazing..the empanada sampler is a must..
Ricard Solé: Can't go wrong with Empanada de Jamón y Queso & Arepa de Reina or Poblado (both are out of this world). The Maria cookie cake is worth trying too.
Tracey: The vegetarian arepa, vegetarian empanada, and the cocada are all amazing.
Chase Quintana: The pabellon arepa, empanada and dinner are all amazing. The empanadas here are specially good although I’d usually go with the arepa due to it being more filling.
