I went there to give it a try, I was curious about the empanadas, I asked what type of empanadas they were, and the waitress ignored me, the second time I asked she said: "they are fried" ... no kidding I wanted to know what type of empanadas, Chilean, Argentinian, Colombian, Cuban, Venezuelan etc. By, now you might have guessed I did not like my waitress, she was rude, impolite and loutish. I asked: "what kind of beers do you have in tap?" she replied: "all 28 beers are in tap, we have all kinds" again, not the type answer I was looking for. I asked her to recommend a Lager and I feel that I stumped the chump, she looked at the menu up and down a couple times, and said: "you take a look and let me know what you want, giving me the beer menu for the first time, 5 min after I ordered my first beer, I had to ask her for a food menu, which she tossed to me. I asked her how big the empanadas were and she described the size twice as big as the actual empanada. I wanted to order 4 different types to try them and she rudely replied: "we can't split them, they come in pairs" no additional explanation. I ordered a pair of chorizo and a pair of Guava and Cheese, the Chorizo empanadas were ok, the Guayaba and Queso were over cocked, the crust was sooo hard and the cheese was nowhere to be found. After my first beer, my waitress never bother to ask me how the food was or if I wanted anything else. I had the 4 empanadas, I could have eaten something else as they were very small, but I didn't want to order anything as I didn't want to be mistreated again. I got up and picked a large bag of pork rinds, to fill myself up. For some reason I feel repudiated, not really sure why the attitude or the miss treatment, the place wasn't even busy!

I've been a few times just to buy beers and it was always busy. We recently came on a weekday night. There is a great tap list (over 25+) and prices are responsible. We got the philly cheesesteak, fries and tatar tots. Food was good, especially their philly cheesesteak as I wasn't expecting much. They have a lot of food options (wings, subs, empanadas, chili, etc) for a beer store. Service was also great. Happy hour is Monday-Friday 4-7pm and Sundays all day. There is live music on some nights (Thursday-Saturday, schedule is on Facebook). There is outdoor (covered by a tent) and indoor seating. They have discounted beers by the cashier desk. I would definitely come back.

We happened upon this place just looking for a liquor store, and WOW am I glad we did. My only regret is that there are items on the menu that we were not able to try. We did have several of the beers on tap, and beef, chicken,chorizo,and shrimp empanadas, a cheese steak and fries. Everything was delicious! The staff is welcoming and helpful, and they even had LIVE music. So so much more than I could have hoped for. We got the wine we came for and so much more. I recommend without reservation! Who would have thought that a little liquor store would also have amazing food and and a place to sit back and relax?

If you are craving empanadas (pastelillos) - you must go to this establishment. So delicious and they are homemade (PRican style). You can buy them cooked or frozen to cook at home. I ordered the guava/cheese and chicken - so flavorful. The staff are super friendly and welcoming :-) We will be going back.

Great local place to grab lunch, dinner, beers with friends, beers for home, and hot or frozen empanadas! I must emphasize, the empanadas are AMAZING. The staff is wonderful and friendly, follow CDC protocols as updates come up, and always make you feel welcome. They have a large outdoor seating area under a large tent, some indoor seating, and a surprisingly large tap list (with very reasonable prices) for a smaller place. Give this place a try, whether you're dining in or grabbing beers to go.

One of our absolute favorite spots always great service awesome selection of drinks and the empanadas are just incredible highly recommend!!

Great beer selection and the food selection is really good but there's very little parking that's convenient and they have the worst acoustic guitar players outside the place it's like they are all rejects from the Jimmy Buffett tribute show contest or something like that it's horrible. If they would just drop the lousy acoustic music I would go there more often.

I bought beer here the other day. They're super casual about covid, which they always have been. No one was wearing masks, and the sign at the front door told people they didn't need to wear a mask. I think I'll spend $18 for a 6-pack some place else. Even during the height of the pandemic, they kept table service going. If a business doesn't take covid seriously, I won't go there.
Great staff, good food, live music. Nice place to share with Family and Friends.

Fabulous place that's a great meetup spot. It's not a bar, it's not a deli and it's not only a beer and wine store. There was seating outside as well as inside to enjoy lots of beers on tap. Growlers were being filled and the takeaway food was fast and good. It's possibly the most extensive stout selection I've seen in the area. The sandwich and snack selection is good but I continue to search for a truly stuffed Philly cheese steak. Flavor was spot one. But I'm still looking for the Cheesesteak I need to eat with a fork.

Stop by for empanadas after seeing their promotion on Facebook. Ordered a few as a snack: beef, chorizo, and guava/cheese. They came out piping hot and with different dipping sauces: garlic aioli, cilantro cream, and chipotle cream. I thought they may be a little bigger since its $5.49 for 2, but it still hit the spot. All the flavors of the empanadas and sauces were good and I'd definitely would return to try other flavors. I would have taken some frozen ones home to cook myself, but you have to buy 1/2 dozen minimum in the same flavor and can't mix/match. oh well....
