Patacons are lights out. Got the beef one and it was amazing. The taqueyoyo was good too and came with an awesome cilantro sauce. Arepa was definitely not my favorite but you should be going for the patacons not arepas lol

I did not know what to expect. My brother order a Cachapa for me. A crepe type, pita type bread made with corn and filled with lettuce and shredded beef that was soo tender and very juicy. The empanadas were good too.
