★★★☆☆ 3.0 Allieya DePaolantonio · Mar 2026

I’ve been told these are amazing empanadas. But they are decent at best. A lot of the bread. It has a pretty good seasoning to it. They are also big which explains why there’s more bread than meat. Tried chicken and beef. Wanted to try a specialty one but they didn’t know what I meant from the online ordering selection.

Another Day ; another Pikalo adventure into paradise " : Yo Amo Pikalo ; lol Omg ! These Cuban sandwich's here are better than the Cuban sandwich's in Cuban . How is that even possible? Well anyhow my husband and I got " Cuban sandwich's ". We made the most delicious and tasteful choice , it comes with fries & that was so good. The portion sizes are big . Lots of filling inside . I devoured every last bite . My taste buds were taken into an adventure in paradise. The service is friendly. The vibe is welcoming. We also got strawberry & Pina smoothies . The best smoothies I have had . Definitely the best smoothies in JP. In freshness and cost wise plus consistency. Today they ran out of mango ; please get more . I missed my mango smoothie intake today . lol ..... Parking is s

THE BEST empanada in Boston. Their Pikalo Club was also phenomenal, and not too expensive. The salad was a fantastic portion, and it had fresh ingredients. The dressing is homemade, as well as the Flan, which looks fantastic.
