Empanada’s Factory Latin Fusion

This place has been open for 7 years. I never seen it the hundreds of times I drove past it. Today I was looking for something new. This place was seen only because I was looking for places that I don't go normally. This place really needs to advertise more. The have a fantastic blend of five different countries foods. The have a Papaya smoothie that's better that any place i have Papaya drinks before. I ordered the 3 chicken tacos. They were perfect. Like made in grandma's kitchen good. The plantain was as good as my Haitian restaurant I frequent. That's hard to do. I need to come back here for real-for real. There are different flavors i want to try. The food is off the charts. Lovely staff and choice of desserts just is icing on the cake.

It has claimed a permanent place in my heart—juicy, tender, and cooked with precision. Each bite reminds you why this sp

Stopped for a quick cafe con leche, Cuban toast and of course an Empanada… Despite the mediocre coffee, stale toast, at least be able to make a good empanada! It’s in the name oof your Restaurant! Empanada was mushy, tasteless and for some reason has boiled eggs in it. No Bueno! We have eaten here for years, the past year or so they must have had an ownership change. Definitely not what it used to be. 👎

I'll break this down into categories The atmosphere is very very comfortable pleasant and inviting the music is not overbearing because that's a perfect pitch in tone our server Angel was amazing I would hire him for any top Michelin restaurant that's how impressive his service was as for the food flavor was there quantity matched and prices were on point. Chicken soup was served in a large bowl tasted amazing with real chicken in it The empanadas were nicely filled with the chimichurri sauce on the side which was like ordering it for Argentina itself And then of course the red beans rice sweet plantains and breaded steak we're also impressive The beans alone you can tell they weren't from a can slow-cooked for sure with plenty of flavor The rice was also very good quality as for the empa
