Empanada Mama
With its cheery red entrance, long green banquettes down a narrow brick wall, succulent empanadas and great prices, what's not to love about Empanada Mama? The service, unfortunately: it's a little slow and diffident, but these meat-stuffed pastry treats are too addictive to walk away from. You can get wheat, corn and oven-baked empanadas filled with tasty beef or chicken (veggie options too), or arepas (stuffed corn patties), or a big plate of arroz con pollo (chicken with rice), or shredded beef, or many other South American favorites.

B
Barbossa
A breezy, wide-open front window and low-level bossa nova in the background give this café a sultry and jazzy feel that's complemented by a light, tropical cuisine, heavy on salads (mango and peanut and avocado are favorite toppings), delicious soups and a few hearty mains.
