Empanada Madness

Haven't had an arepa this good in a long time. What a treasure! Their emanadas were great too

The employee here on July 1, 2024 at 11AM was so sweet and accommodating! The empanadas are big, but too much dough to filling ratio. The creamy dipping sauce is great!I was sad that they didn't have arepas available. The employee said they wouldn't be available until whenever the cool gets there. There is lots of indoor seating. I'd give it a try. It's one of the better things at the Crown Plaza.

The restaurant has a new home in Crown Center.The empanadas, sandwiches, appetizers and other small dishes are still available... and they're still good, however unfortunately, as of this writing, the old main courses haven't made an appearance.Those dishes, like the Lomo Saltado and the Bendeja Paisa, were highlights at the old location.Hopefully they return as the new spot grows into its space.

I'm glad I was able to find this place again as it moved locations. I ordered the empanada combo which comes with 2 empanadas (chicken, beef or cheese filled) with rice and beans. My favorite has to be the beef empanada, it was so flavorful and paired well with the sides. I also tried their maracuya drink and it was so tasty and refreshing. Can't wait to come back.

Went for a weekday lunch. Decided to sit out in the Crown Center Atrium. Was a great atmosphere. Ordered the 2 empanadas with rice and beans . My steak one was burnt from sitting under the warmer. The filling was great adm would be 5 stars had they not been burnt. Also ordered the Pastelitos. They were made fresh and were so much better. Next visit I plan to order something made fresh not the empanadas in the warmer.

Everytime I go there I have to get an Arepa! Omg they have the best Arepas! Fresh made to order! Great customer service, and a chill vibe there. Also had the Lomo Saltado and that did not disappoint! So good!

I grew up in Colombia so I have a lot of strong opinions and I have eaten several arepas and empanadas (lots, too many... no such thing as too many arepas or empanadas).These are delicious. BUT the empanadas that we tried were not the typical Colombian empanadas (those corn-forward, crisp pockets of deliciousness). They do sell "Colombian" empanadas but only by the dozen. So I was slightly disappointed that what we ordered wasn't exactly what we had anticipated getting. They were still very good. These were probably more on the Venezuelan side of the empanada world.Arepas. So good. Way more crispy than most that I've had but very good none the less. I will level with you, that firm-meets-pleasantly-squeaky, salty white cheese is noticably absent. I do miss the queso asadero/queso menonita.

Delicious food! Service was authentic and good. The ambiance was greatThe empanadas and plantains were out of the world. The plantains were tasty too

I ordered the secret menu item. It was a Colombian entree for ~$26 and got steak instead of ground beef. You are not able to substitute items. It was fresh hot and tasty. I really enjoyed it. The passion fruit drink was also fresh and tasty. I really enjoyed the meal. The staff was friendly. It is inside the mall that is attached to the Westin downtown

Every time I walk by this restaurant there isn't a single person inside while other restaurants in Crown Center are plenty busy. I felt a little bad about that today so stopped in at 4:40 since the doors were wide open. Waited 10 minutes for someone to come to the front, which was fine because we had a lot of menu to read. But then were told they were closed, twenty minutes early, with the dining room open and food in the warming trays. I'm not really sure why a place would close at 5, just before meal time, but it really bothers me when places close early and then can't be bothered to put a sign up so we don't all waste our time.
