Worst restaurant that I went to in a while and I wonder why! I should have just gone to Casa Argentina in Nuremberg!! Firstly, the service is soooooooooooo bad, that the guy who was serving us was not even interested to offer anything to us. It took them 30 minutes to come to our table to ask us for drinks. The Empanadas were quite dry and tasteless, I wonder how it’s their specialty. I asked the waiter to get my the Chimichuri salsa. He said we only give it with steak?! The food is below average. We ended up paying 328€ for 9 people (including 3 children), and it was definitely not worth it at all. So if you want to eat South American food, you'd rather skip this one. I will never ever go to this place again. @the Owner - Firstly, thanks for giving me a call and trying to understand what was wrong with the service of the restaurant. Please be receptive to feedback when it is given, and accept that the waiter that was servicing us that day was particularly rude. It could be that next time (if we ever plan to be there) the service might be good, but that evening our experience was ruined by the rudeness of your waiter. On the food and steak - everyone has the right to their opinion. We didn’t like the food and that’s our opinion that’s all. On the cake, we asked your staff if we can bring it, so don’t make it sound like you did a favor. We know the rules of restaurant and wouldn’t take the liberty to bring something if not allowed. Not sure who had 5 glasses of wine, atleast we didn’t. We all had to drive 😎 Take the feedback with a pinch of salt. I appreciate the time you have spent on this, but it’s also not true that no one has criticized with restaurant in past 5 years. Have a nice day!
Dear Owner - We did not like your restaurant, service or food. Accept it as is, rather than writing sarcastic comments. Maybe that’s the time you should spend in improving your customer service and food. Good...
Read moreDedicatedly Latin American restaurant with bits and pieces snuggled in from South European (Portuguese, Spanish) cousine. Our international team's ancestry covered the restaurant's target region fairly well - and it passed the test of authenticity. While the menu is a bold mixture from the continent, whatever we ordered, tasted delicious, well prepared and authentic (according to the ppl coming from those regions).
The waiter was helpful (juggling 3 languages while interacting with us) and the meals arrived surprisingly quickly. The price is... midrange: considering the quality it's correct.
I've never been to South America, which is a vast continent and probably there are places like this, but the internal architecture was the only part I was less enthusiastic about.
I was advised (by my colleagues) not to overestimate the importance of the accompanying sauces, as they were mostly added to comfort the local German taste (=no food without sauce). And apparently it was true: many of them tasted better on their own.
Strangely enough, I'm not that keen to return right away, despite everything was well prepared, deliciously cooked and baked, and so on... It gave me the idea though to prepare empanadas on my own and only if I fail, go there to cure my taste buds with their...
Read moreAuf der Suche nach einer geeigneten Location für unsere Hochzeit in Erlangen haben wir uns neben anderen Hochzeitslocations auch Empanaderia angeschaut und letztlich dafür entschieden. Erster Pluspunkt war natürlich die zentrale Lage des Restaurants in Erlangen, welche es uns ermöglichte, unsere Gäste fußläufig in den nahe gelegenen Hotels unterzubringen. Mit den beiden netten Besitzern Alex & Gilda konnten wir unsere Wünsche für das Essen, Getränke und unser Rahmenprogramm abstimmen und haben von deren Erfahrungen bei Hochzeiten profitieren können. Für das Dinner gab es ein leckeres Buffet mit all den Leckereien aus Südamerika: Hier gab es unter anderem Empanadas mit verschiedene Füllungen, Patacones, Ceviche, Rumpsteak medium und vieles mehr! Buffett hatte den Vorteil, dass unsere Gäste von jedem etwas probieren konnten. Auch auf unsere Vegetarier und Allergiker wurde Rücksicht genommen und entsprechende Hinweise am Essen angebracht bzw. abgestimmt, wo diese Gäste sitzen, damit sie gesondertes Essen bekommen können. Bei den Getränken haben wir vorab verschiedene Cocktails probiert und uns unter anderem für Pisco Sour entschieden. Dass in diesem Lokal Wert auf höherwertige Spiritousen und Qualität beim Essen gelegt wird, schmeckt man definitiv heraus! Entsprechend war auch das Feedback unserer Gäste, die sich an das exquisite Essen erinnern und die ‘Reise nach Südamerika’ gerne mitgemacht haben. Auch bei der Dekoration des Restaurants konnten wir uns auf die Besitzerin Gilda verlassen, welche uns das Restaurant mit einer super schönen Dekoration aufgewertet hat. Durch ihre Erfahrungen im Innendesign hat Sie an viele Details gedacht, welche die ganze Location zusätzliche aufgewertet hat und uns von der Organisation der Dekoration und Blumen entlastet, sodass wir unsere Hochzeitsvorbereitungen den anderen Themen mehr Zeit widmen konnten. Auch gibt es in der Empanaderia natürlich einen Beamer und eine Soundanlage, welche wir direkt mit nutzen konnten. Vielen Dank für diese unvergessliche Hochzeit an die Besitzer...
