Division Cafe

Stopped in after a recommendation from a friend at work. This place had it all. Great atmosphere - cozy and eclectic. Ordered a chicken and beef empanada which were warm, flaky, crisp and delicious. The chicken was my favorite. Will definitely be back when I have more time.

Great place for empanadas! They seem to be fried then baked - I am not sure - but the crust is light and not oily. They serve an interesting spicy condiment with the empanadas - some mixture of pickled jalapeños, onions carrots- very delicious We got 5 empanadas to go with a cup of homemade orange-carrot juice and it was delicious Our toddler loved the empanadas con chorizo

The first two times I came was a few years and the brunch was excellent; less impressed with our two main selections this time but would definitely go back! Sat outside which was a pleasant experience; the restaurant is off of main street so a bit quieter. Ordered 4 empanadas: chicken (meh skip this one), chorizo, spinach and cheese (wife’s favorite), and spicy mix. Really enjoyed the ‘relish’ they give you on the side, great flavor.

Fries were fresh and

I’m new in town and stopped by Division Café in Somerville to try their soup. The flavor was okay — I’d rate it 3/5. However, the price was surprisingly high. The menu shows one price, but I was charged a different one at checkout. When I asked, they told me the price changed because it was “dinner.” For one empanada and one soup, I ended up paying $24.99, and it was takeout. They should really clarify their pricing to avoid confusion.

I am costa rican myself and let me tell you this place nails it every single time. Delicious in a very convenient location. Every time I come back to jersey I try to stop by!
