Best empanadas ever - most are half full of meats and the rest is just dough, but this one was completely stuffed. I'm going to start driving out of the way to come here again. And I also had something I've never tried before in Puerto Rico, which was beef with Swiss which was really interesting.

Las empanadillas son deliciosas, no me gustan las grasosas y están son ricas. Me sorprendió el café, sabroso y yo soy exigente en eso.

Prueben las empanadillas/pastelillos de tripleta (bistec, pollo, carne y queso suizo) o las de carne y queso suizo. Son bien buenas!
