I'm not even sure where to start with this review. First off I had heard such good things about how delicious the food was and how juicy and incredible the empanadas were and needless to say I am unbelievably disappointed with this place! My friend and I were craving Empanadas but didn't have a lot of time due to working. We found this place via google and figured lets try it out. Now I will first say I am all about supporting local business especially during tough times! We arrived at around 7:45 which is late yes but we were hungry. We ordered 6 J Chicken Empanadas and 3 Creole Chicken Empanadas. The total came out to be about $34. When we got back to work we immediately grabbed plates and...
Thank You to Yelp for pointing us in the direction of this place! My husband is vegan and we are always looking for places to cater to his diet. The unique combination of Caribbean food and vegan options was the best thing ever! The owner was there and was absolutely wonderful and explained everything on the menu and even pointed us in the direction of home made fruit juices that were amazing! We ordered a beyond meat empanada with chimichurri sauce, and it was seasoned so well we realized we didn 't even need the sauce (although it was amazing also). Then we both ordered the vegan j bowl with yellow rice and pikliz (spicy Haitian cole slaw). It was the perfect combination of flavor and spic...
Not great. Tried a few things.. Buffalo chicken empanada: it was just dry chicken. Not sure what was supposed to be Buffalo about it. I expected it to have hot sauce and a bleu cheese dressing inside. Creole chicken empanada: again just dry chicken Buffalo chicken creole bowl: tasted like it was made yesterday. Dry and sad. 20 Oz strawberry lemonade: it's actually 16oz and it's just water and flavored high fructose corn syrup My kids got the beef and meatball parm empanadas and said there wasn't much filling and the outside was dry and flavorless. The maduros were the best part, I guess they were made fresh as opposed to everything else which tasted like it was left out all night.
First and foremost, the young lady who took my order was nice. However, I know it's not a big deal but I was charged for two items the j and creole chicken yumpandadas $1 more. The price on the kisok menu and the to-go menu says $3.75. I asked the lady why i was charged those prices and she said those are the new ones. I asked, why werent the new prices listed on both menus, she couldnt give me a reason. The young lady called the manager to see if I could get a refund which I was told no. All in all, she was nice but I was charged wrong price. False advertising. If you changed your prices in the computer than your menu prices needs to reflect that.

first line was the young lady who took my job, nice. However, I know that it is not a big thing, but I was charged for two items that ruck and creole huhn yumpandadas $1 more. the price on the Kisok menu and the To-go menu says $3,75 I asked the lady why I was charged these prices and she said these are the new ones. I asked why weren't the new prices on both menus, she couldn't give me a reason. the young lady called the manager to see if I could get a refund I said no. all in all she was nice, but I was calculated wrong. false advertising. if they have changed their prices in the computer when their menu prices need to reflect.
Very good veggie filled empanadas, but I felt bad for the staffperson working solo who had to take orders and prep food. This was my first time visiting, so I fully acknowledge that it may not always be this way and that this might have been the result of someone calling out or having an emergency, etc. I just hope that isn't the norm. It made for slow service and I felt anxious for the 1 person having to do all the work.
I thought the empanadas at this restaurant were terrible, but their milkshake was the only good thing. I would give it 5 stars. I tried the Haitian flavor. I believe in being honest with my opinions, so if I find something unpleasant, I will say so. I chose not to return the empanadas to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. As a Hispanic woman, I feel you should know how to make good food like others in your culture.

I was glad to see vegan options on the menu, but I was not impressed with the seasoned cabbage. My husband enjoyed the oxtail and Nutella empanada, but everything else we tried was disappointing. We won't be returning to this restaurant. We were very disappointed with the overpriced menu, especially considering the subpar quality of the $3.50 empanada.
I own a dance studio around the corner and drop by regularly for a Patacon and a Hibiscus drink. Staff is nice and friendly. I’ve done 2 empanada catering orders and they were a hit each time. So glad there is a place bringing authentic caribbean food to Craford. Well Done!
