It’s not about the size of the empanada…seriously, they look small but 2 or 3 will fill you up, 4 if you’re a manly MAN (insert beating of chest here).
My bff and I have the tradition of grabbing a pitcher of sangria and dinner here after getting Broadway tickets. It’s a small, chic, affordable (important after blowing $60 on a Broadway ticket), hole-in-the-wall type place but a table always magically frees up shortly after you enter. The tables are just close enough together to make it cozy but far enough apart to prevent you from skull bashing the guy at the next table every time you shake your head.
The food comes out hot and fast, and the (decent but I’ve had better) sangria flows like a fountain of youth, which btw, leaves you well-prepared to see Disney musicals.
Tapas tickle your taste buds, crispy-crumbly corn empanadas emolliate your esophagus, and meat fillings conjure up your inner carnivore.
Noteworthy notes:
1) DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT get any of the pepperoni pizza type empanadas. Hot pockets are cheaper. They don’t taste nearly as good, but seriously, you can order something better than that. DO order something with a corn shell.
2) I don’t normally endorse eating baby cow, but the veal and rice balls are worth the sin. Just make sure to do a good deed to atone (I personally carried someone’s stroller complete with large 2 year-old child down 3 flights of stairs on the subway), which also burned off the calories. Win!
