We happened upon this place when the hubs was code orange, and the slow start (only one server for the whole restaurant on a Monday) left me nervous we were going to have to bail. However, once we were finally seated and our order was taken, the food was ultra fast. Our server asked if we were familiar with Cuban food, and well, I've never been there, so no. We ordered the roasted pork and grilled fish (mahi mahi). The roasted pork was good, the fish was OK but I'd order something different next time. The plantains were (of course) delicioso, and I wished we had tried some of their really yummy looking mojitos (like 18 flavors) or sangria. \n\nBut the whole point of this review is that FINALLY after waiting my whole life (OK so the 14 years I've been in the QC), I found worthy empanadas!! The server said the ham & cheese was his favorite but I went for the beef. The pastry covering was nice and crispy, but not greasy at all and the beef was seasoned perfectly and also was not greasy at all! Hallelujah!! Hail to the empanada maker! Even though I live nowhere near Steele Creek/Ayrsley I would make an excuse to come back and have a meal of mojitos, empanadas, perhaps some of their avocado dip special and tres leches. Bueno!\n\nTip: coupon in Citipass made it even more reasonably priced.
