Also...the food is pretty dang good too. We tried several of the empanadas and they were through the roof tasty (make sure to keep them flat in the bag though or all the good stuff goes to one side). I was completely shocked by the peperoni and cheese empanada. Whoa!!! We also tried the Chimi burger which was a bit over handled/cooked but the sauce and fixings that came with it were both good. I may ask for it to be cooked just a little less than normal next time. Also...you should probably call ahead with your order so that you don't end up waiting too long at the gas station. The regulars seemed to all know this trick...and now you know too. Enjoy!

I can’t remember the name of the dish, but it was dirty rice with beans and chicken. The flavors were absolutely amazing! Hector mentioned that his wife does the cooking, and she must be a wonderful person as well! You should definitely give this place a try; you won’t regret it!

I ordered the chicken stew with rice, beans, and plantains. Although they forgot the beans, it was totally fine because the flavors were perfect. My husband had the ribs with rice, beans, and plantains, and thankfully, his meal included the beans so I got to try them. I can't wait to go back and explore more dishes. I did take a photo, but it was after we finished!
