State of play: The interactive class led by owner Inez Melendez is an "Empanada Party" where guests will learn how to roll, fold and fill.
You'll also discover the rich history of empanadas and how they have evolved over time.
What they're saying: "It's designed to be very interactive. You can ask a lot of questions and be very in touch with the empanadas," the restaurant's general manager Francis Caparroso told me.
What to try: If you're not interested in playing chef, sit down for a bite and drink. During my visit, I also tried three empanadas — the Macho Man, Ay-Bonito and guava and cheese ($8.50 each), shrimp ceviche with plantain chips ($20) and traditional Puerto Rican rice with pigeon peas ($11).
I sipped on a passion fruit juice ($6).
💭 My thought bubble: My meal was flavorful and satisfying, yet didn't leave me feeling stuffed. I was also quite pleased with their prices. I'd categorize this as a reliable neighborhood gem you could easily stop by after a long day at work.
If you go: The 90-minute cooking class takes place every Sunday 12:30pm-2:30pm.
