I took a walk from the Hilton in Stamford and stumbled upon a gem! The beef empanadas were some of the best I’ve ever tasted with a perfect salsa accompaniment. I had the marinated pork and skirt steak combo. The pork is marinated over 24 hours and is melt in your mouth delicious. The steak was very good as well. Rice and beans beautifully homemade.They make their own corn tortillas as well and they are addictive. Portions were large. I couldn’t finish all the food. Fun and clean atmosphere as well. I will be back. - gary fisher
