The empanadas were great, service was terrible. We have ordered to go as we have already had lunch and wanted to enjoy the empanadas later. We ordered 6 empanadas for $25 and 2 alfajores cookies for $5. We also gave a generous tip of 20%. 15 minutes later they called us to say it was ready, double checked the order. We had to remind them of the cookies, he proceeded giving us one piece, we said we ordered two. He went on checking, spending 5 minutes arguing about it, and it looked like the girl before didn’t order 2 for us but one. Fine, we left. Later at home we also found out that we only got 5 empanadas and not 6 that we paid for. The experience sucked and we wish we didn’t tip at all. So, enjoy the empanadas, but check your order and don’t tip, they only do the minimum required.
It was not what we were expecting at all. As we walked up to order the cashier put in one of her airpods. We thought that everything was handmade but was told that it was premade at the other location which is not what handmade means. I figured we could customize the empanadas to our liking then they would be handmade and cooked. Whenever we got our food some of the empanadas were cold. We were not impressed with the way that some of them tasted. Overall this was a waste of money and a very disappointing experience. What we ordered - Carolina BBQ (2/5 outside was warm meanwhile the inside was cold) - Pulled chorizo (2/5 outside was warm meanwhile inside was cold) - Fries (3/5 didn't taste fresh) - Chicken with cheese baked on top of it (2/5 didn't have any cheese baked on the top like I asked for) - Cheese and pepperoni (4/5 wish it was a little bit hotter) - Dulce de Leche Banana (2/5 was cold) - Fountain drink
delicious and very flavorful. would recommend the steak empanada and the creamy cilantro sauce! Wheelchair accessibility: have to enter optimis hall
Unbelievably good. Ordered the cubana and carnitas taco. Both were amazing. The girl at the front was also super helpful and friendly.
They were good, but as a born and bred puertorican definitely doesn't pass. The pizza empanda ones have like a spec of sauce in one corner the rest all bland cheese. Chicken empanda was a bit over seasoned, a little charred taste, but it's eatable.
I had the chicken empanadas, rice and beans and fries. All were absolutely delicious! Very very flavorful! I had the creamy cilantro sauce and OMG! Sooo good! Service was fast! I highly recommend!
Amazing!! Really delicious Empanadas Chicken, Steak. Chorizo, etc. Located in Optimist Hall. Mambo sauce is spot on. Fries are a no however.
First experience after hearing of Felix’s since they opened their uptown location. The staff at Optimist Hall were impressively friendly and helped me choose my two empanadas for the combo. The side Cobb salad was delicious with a homemade dressing very unique and the size is very generous. I tried La Cubana and Chicken. La Cubana was unbelievably better than any Cuban sandwich I’ve had. The lady recommended the house made honey mustard and it was a perfect combination. The chicken empanada was also much tastier than I expected and full of juice. I used the “green” sauce with this one and the sauce is delicious. For the combo price (includes drink) this is a very good deal and I will be trying all the empanadas!
