“ It was late morning, windy, too cold for April, and I was very hungry. My first time here. Rosalyn took my order, and she was so nice! She let me order a weird combination of things which was fun because I wanted to try a little of everything. All the food in the hot trays looked so good. I was particularly intrigued by the rice, it just looked so interesting. I tried 2 kinds of flavored rice, 1 beef&cheese empanada, and one pollo&cheese. They were so good that I came back in to buy 2 more to bring home with me! It was fun to watch other people walk down the street eating empanadas out of the little paper bag also. All good things are simple. Everybody should eat empanadas! This place is great. I'll be back for sure! ”
“ This place is amazing. The food is fire. Steak is goated. Fries are delicious. And they give lots of food for the price. RECOMMEND. wish they had a delivering system up other than Uber eats since they take sooo long and sometimes it’s easier to pay with cash. BUT perfect place still. ”
“ Large empandas, delicious. Lady at front was very friendly. Would definitely recommend. ”

“ A small local restaurant with great service, food, and overall experience! Definitely a go-to place for Empanadas when you are in Lawrence, MA! Huge variety of Dominicana Food to choose from & side dishes are delicious as well. ”
“ The empanadas are delicious, well-priced, and massive! The Mofongo Churrasco was cooked to perfection, and the manager, Danny, is very friendly! This was our first visit. We are looking forward to returning often. ”
“ The food and variety offered was large and what we ate was well cooked. One of very few local places that makes Cativias. Cativias are empanadas with the shell made with yuca or Cassava root instead of flour. ”
“ I love this restaurant so much!! I work in Andover and I never had spanish food ever. I had mofongo for the first time (so delicious )..... Ever since I order from here twice a week when I am working. The Cubano sandwich is delicious as well sometimes when I’m not working I literally drive 45 minutes with my fiance just to get food from here. I wished I had spanish food in my area. They have good customer service as well. ”
