Description
Recipes trace back to Santiago in the Dominican Republic. Beyond the empanadas—with fillings ranging from pepperoni to mixed seafood—the menu features traditional street food. You can order the yaroa, a popular dish that has drawn both praise and complaints of overcooked beef, alongside cheese-filled yuca balls and chimis. Delivery orders frequently arrive hot with creamy and spicy sauces, though walk-in diners sometimes face notable wait times.
