Ccs Empanadas — Restaurant in Symmes Township

Came here for an early lunch on a Saturday and it was fairly busy, which was a good sign in our book! We ordered 3 empanadas: beef&plaintain, lentils, and goetta and an arepa pobellon which had shredded beef, black beans, cheese, and sweet plantain.

It is a small space inside with a moderate amount of seating, along with large picnic tables outside which we opted for since the weather was nice.

Our food was made to order and came out fresh and piping hot. We’re used to smaller sized empanadas and arepas, so we were pleasantly surprised to see they were pretty sizable! We ended up with leftovers.

Each empanada is pressed with a number that corresponds with the menu, so you know which one is which before you dig in.

Since we ordered in, they also gave us bottles of sauces: a hot sauce, an herb garlic sauce, and mayo-ketchup fry sauce. The hot sauce wasn’t too spicy but added a nice kick, my boyfriend and I agreed that the garlic herb sauce was our favorite one with what we had.

Already thinking about my next order, definitely check this place out if you’re looking for...

I love food, and within food there's one thing I super love and that's cheese sticks. If you are like me and love a good cheese stick, you HAVE to come here. Their Tequeños, which are essentially Venezuelan cheese sticks, are the best I have ever had in MY ENTIRE LIFE. I just got them yesterday and they immediately put a smile on my face. They come with this little green dipping sauce, and let me tell you, ask for extra, because you'll want to diiip these things in it. No joke, come here if you want to have the best cheese sticks in all of Cincinnati.

Oh, and they had Panela con Limon as a drink option, which coming from Colombia, was an immediate yes, and something I have NEVER seen offered at any other restaurant. It was absolutely delicious, and it's a great summer day drink. If you see it, try it because it will rock your world.

Oh yeah I'll be coming back here, I'll be back here as often as I possibly can. Tequeños and Panela, oh my Gooood...

Absolutely outstanding. The people hee are very freindly and kind, and the food is amazing. The jamon y queso empanada is one of the best things i have ever tasted. The chicken empanada is likewise fantastic. The pabellon arepas are unreal; the combination of beef, black beans, and plantains is sweet, savory, and unlike anything ive had before, so good i might just go back tomorrow.

If you have not yet tried this place, you really should. Everything is made fresh from scratch. When you order it and the menu is so deep and various that everyone can find something to like here. If you don't eat meat, the vegetarian arepas are absolutely astounding. Highly...
