La Empanada Loca - Oakland Park

Tried every empanada and they were all amazing. Fantastic service and a great atmosphere.

My first time to this restaurant the food was great will recommend to friends and family

I 'll start by saying that I 'm not Puerto Rican, but I have been to the island four times and visited friends there who took me to eat at real, local places, so I 'm pretty well acquainted with Puerto Rican food. My wife and I stopped by for lunch. This was by far the best mofongo I 've ever had outside of Puerto Rico. The degree of ripeness of the plantain, the texture resulting from the frying time, it was fantastic! Rather than getting it with pork skins (chicharrones) we got it with fried pork (called carne frita on the menu) which was similar to chicharrón the way it is prepared in South America. The starchy plantain and the crisp, juicy pork perfectly complemented each other. We thought it might not be enough for two, so we ordered a side order of yuca with mojo which came in a darling miniature pot. Boy were we wrong! The mofongo was easily enough for two as we barely finished and enjoyed the yuca at home later that day. The atmosphere was Lively with salsa music playing, the decor had Puerto Rican Carnival masks and pictures of artists on the walls. The service was impeccable, smiling and enthusiastic from greeting us when we first walked in, to taking our orders and bringing them, all the way to bringing the check. The other waiter there also was brimming with enthusiasm. From the accent, we also noticed that plenty of the other people sitting and dining or picking up takeout were Puerto Rican. That tells you the food is authentic. I will definitely be back!

Great puertorican food and service! The mofongo was delicious
