 Overall, the WORST Island Empanada location I've ordered from. The Oreo empanada I ordered was burnt, the rice was mushy and overcooked, and the plantains as well as one of the other empanadas was cold and not crispy on the outside like an empanada should be. with Rice & Beans, Sweet Plantains & Fountain Drink (16 Oz.)

The Pork by The Lb is excellent! Goes great with the Yellow Rice & Beans (Large - Grande)

I love this place! Empanadas, rice & beans pretty much everythingis on point, the suopis nothing bitbrith and 1 tiny pice of chicken no carrots no potatoes definetly NOT bodega chicken soup for when your sick, the Papas Rellenas should be firm and crispy but mine was soft and the potatoes where super mushy iatr the whole thing with a spoon instead of a fork and the meat was bland inside. Im Puerto Rican so Ik ow how these should taste and they miss the mark....by a mile but I've had almost everything they have and it's all delicious these were items I know Iike, buy from a bodega or make at home.
