Pa' Paraguana

I came on s Sunday and the line was out the door. Surprisingly they offer very fast service and minimal wait time for the food to come out. I ordered the Carne mechada and Hawaiian empanadas very good and flavorful. You can eat in or order takeout.It's a casual environment with a few sitting areas.Parking is in a shared lot may be a bit hard to find a spot depending on the time of day.

I wanted to love this place, but the empanadas fell short of expectations. While the concept of Venezuelan empanadas filled with shredded chicken, cheese, and goat cheese sounds enticing, the execution left a bit to be desired.The biggest issue is the lack of filling. For the price, you'd expect a generous portion of the advertised ingredients, but the empanadas felt more like soggy, shells with sparse pockets of flavor. The shredded chicken lacked the seasoning and juiciness that could elevate it, and the cheese empanadas, while pleasant, didn't deliver the gooey, indulgent bite you'd hope for. The goat empanada was the standout of the three, offering a rich, tangy burst of flavor, but even that felt insufficiently filled.What truly saved the dish were the sauces. The white garlic sauce was a creamy, flavorful delight, and the house-made hot sauce brought the perfect balance of heat and tang, complementing the empanadas beautifully. Honestly, the sauces carried the meal and were the highlight of the experience.While the empanadas had potential, the value for the price just wasn't there. If the filling-to-shell ratio were improved, this could be a spot worth revisiting. For now, the sauces are the only thing I'd rave about.Rating: 3/5 (Points for the sauces, but the empanadas need more substance.)

Great empanadas! I'm not from the area but anytime I come by I have to stop by and get them. They have many different types too. The place is really nice but it could use a couple more chairs but the employees went above and beyond to get them for us as people were leaving.

Ordered the chicken empanada and it's definitely the best empanada I've ever had!! It did take them a little while to make but I think that also shows how fresh they are- not giving you something that's been sitting for a a while. It is a busy spot but very delicious and we found seating even with it being busy. The worker for very nice and have extra sauce if you asked for it! Highly recommend this place!

First time going to this restaurant and I love it! The empanadas were great and the people are super nice, excellent service! They have so many flavors! and the place is clean is well organized. Looking forward to try it again soon

Just stopped by Pa Paraguana and I've gotta say, it's a fantastic spot! The service was top-notch with really friendly staff, and the prices were pretty good too. If you're looking to grab an empanada, they're only $3.99 and totally worth it. The place itself was super clean, and the vibe from the staff made it even better. The food? Absolutely delicious and felt really authentic. I'm definitely planning to go back soon!

I always want to try new foods. I was looking for a lunch spot and I came across this restaurant. I decided to give it a chance. I can share that this is one of the BESTEST beef patties or empanadas that I ever had. If you never had them, give them a try. They are like a healthier Hot Pocket because everything is made from scratch and not frozen for 300 years and then sold at the stores. They have a lot of different flavors an different drinks. Some of the fillings are, ham, cheese, beef, chicken, pulled chicken, beans, beans and cheese, etc. They have natural fruit juices like passion fruit, guava and other flavors including soda pops and coffee.The service was great and very efficient. The food came out pretty fast and very hot which is one of the things that I love about having fresh foods. The store is very quaint and clean. You can tell that they have decorated the store in their traditional environment which gives it a great ambiance and you can feel that you are eating in their culture. If you are hungry and want to healthier food option for your children and family this is your place!

Mi opinon anterior es de otro lugar en Brickell Miami con un nombre muy similar, este de Orlando he ido y son muy buenas y una gran de sabores de rellenos.Este si lo recomiendo!

Empanadas are honestly huge! Seems they are made to order as it took a while to get my order.The cheese empanadas had a generous amount of cheese inside! The plantain and cheese was ok - the plantain amount seemed light compared to how generous the cheese is. Photo attached to show the inside.The tequeños were ok. The place is clean and modern and was poppin even on a workday around 2pm.
