I found this place through instagram and went in person had the sweet chilli wings and two empanadas, amazing! Loved it. Not a fan of the yuca fries they were a bit on the dry side but its always a hit or miss when it comes to Yuca / Yuca fries. The atmosphere was amazing, super clean place seems like a small family business loved seeing that. Truly recommend.
Perfect spot for breakfast. Ordered the lonchera panini & the combination of flavors was fantastic, their coffee is also really good. Everything you need to start your day! The staff is friendly and kind.
I Kid you not, the best empanadas in the neighborhood
Unsuspecting place for a nice sandwich for lunch. No thrills, honest people and fresh ingredients. Recommended!
I ordered chicken and beef empanadas for a party from la lonchera and all my guests loved it and all asked me where I bought them! Really good food and the staff was very kind and helpful! Highly recommended!
I would go just for the empanadas alone. Ate 3 different types of each and I was full. The chicken empanada was my favorite. Mofongo wasn't fried but it's ok. Got it with salami. Will definitely be trying their other items on the menu.
i just ordered their chicken club sandwich and empanadas today. it was soooo good! thank u for this amazing food, it really made my day as a student. i recommended this place to my friends!
We had the mofongo with shrimp and the cuban sandwich with the yucca fries. The sandwich was pretty good and the yucca fries as well, I would recommend that some type of sauce be offered with the yucca fries. But the mofongo was ON POINT, LIKE DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! #supportsmallbusiness #localeats
They have the best coffee on the low ,their delivery is really sensational, the guy is really a hard worker inside and the 2 ladies.
2nd time going there and OMG it was so good. I got the chicken and cheese mofongo with extra white sauce 🤤🤤 amazing.
Amazing quality food, very tasty yuca fries and fried plantains, grilled chicken caesar wrap was phenomenal.
I love coming here, food is always tasty and fresh! The ladies behind the counter are amazing and caring :)
If you want good food quick this is the place to go. They make the best mofongo ever!

It's a small but charming little Cuban Cafe and Restaurant. Seating is limited to a cozy corner with a compact sofa and chairs. The coffee is delicious and Breakfast. The rest of the menu are fried delectable Latin meats like pork, fried plantain, longaniza etc... They also have options to order large trays, which is perfect for party's.

I bought a mofongo with sausage, but everything was very bad the mofongo felt like it was made very early it was very dry with no taste of anything, and the super salty sausage and the garlic sauce that they put next to it didn't taste like anything, in the end I had to throw everything away, very disappointed And the club sandwich is bad too.

Food is barely alright. Horrible attitude. That’s not how Dominican treat their people. They deleted my previous review somehow. So I’m leaving one star, again. And will do it again and again if I have to. Be honest, people.
