great food and good service. luv the empanadas and the cuban sandwiches are the best I've had since moving to charleston. prices are very reasonable as well.

We came here on Saturday during lunch hour and the place were not that busy. The restaurant was clean and I really like the decor. I came eat at this restaurant before they changed their name and menu so I was curious on how the new owner came up with newer menus and food gonna be this time. .. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. We had empanadas and Nikkei as our appetizer and they were so good! I can totally come and just eat on their delish empanadas as I always on a hunt for good empanadas. The kids ordered burgers and fries and the fries were so crispy and seasoned well. We ordered their tacos and we enjoyed our meals! Come and check out this place if you are in Dorchester area.

Yum yum yum!! Me and a few of my Yelp friends took a place on this joint. While it may misleading since this restaurant is in a strip mall, don't let it deter you. I tried the beef and pork empanadas. I only ordered one at first and it was so good I ordered another one. The empanadas are served with some delectable sauces that'll leave you wanting to lick the plate. I also split the green fries with my group and they were topped with the same sauce- so obviously we devoured them. We also ordered margaritas, but those were subpar and just tasted like sour mix. We also ate our meal on the patio, which would've been fantastic but they allow smoking which was a nuisance during our meal.

I had no idea that this place closed down and new owners took over. I loved my empanada and the different sauces you can choose from so colorfully displayed. I ordered a cuban sandwich with tostones. The sandwich was really delicious and flavorful. The tostones were a little dry but the butter helped. My margarita wasn't my favorite. I think the sour mix was off. The pina colada was good but also very sweet. I will be back because I live cuban food!

DELICIOUS. I can't believe I haven't been here sooner! First of all -- the vibes are on point. Second of all -- friendly customer service. Third of all -- the musicaaaaa (I need to come here at night too!) Fourth of all -- LA COMIDA. Fantástica. We shared the green fries and I had to get the mixed ceviche for myself. I'll just have to keep coming back until I try every item on the menu!

I love what they have done with this place. Loved it when it was Cuban Gypsy Pantry and love it just as much under new ownership. I'm this most recent visit we shared the famous green fries avid they were DELISH!! I ordered the Nikkei Crab & Shrimp Burrito which was presented beautifully!! Quite tasty and different. It was sushi with a flair. The addition of the outside dining patio is great. We enjoyed watching a game while catching up. The staff and bartenders were fun and very helpful. Will, the bartender on our second trip of the day there, kept us in stitches with his witty comments!! He also made us Caipirinhas, which you don't find too often here in Charleston and they were GREAT!! Cannot wait to go back. Will definitely go back!!

Found out that the owners of Cuban Gypsy Pantry are the owners of this establishment and I had to stop in and give them a try. Celebrating a friends birthday and we all enjoyed it. The food was great! We shared a basket of green fries and some empanadas. I ordered a lime Margarita and I friends had pineapple margaritas. They were okay. Could use a little more bite and it seemed a little watered down. Still went nicely with the food. We ate on the patio because it was a beautiful evening. Lower humidity and very spacious area. However we did have to battle with the flies, but it did not ruin our evening. Wait staff was nice. I believe our waitress was fairly new and she seemed a little nervous, but she was very nice. I would have liked for her to have come around a little bit more to check on us because we had to wait a little while for different things, but it wasn't many people working and we were patient. We'll definitely be back again soon especially for those fries.
