This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

I just had my first experience (take-out order). Not sure why it took me so long to get here since I have lived in the area for more than a couple of years. The restaurant was clean and it appeared to seat 13-16(?) dine-in customers. I ordered the Buenos Aires and Jamaica empanadas. They were fairly flavorful, especially the Jamaica. Theyโre listed as spicy but could use an extra โkick.โ If on a scale of 1-5 and 5 is the spiciest, Buenos Aires was a โ2โ and Jamaica a โ3โ. Bringing both to a โ4โ would be great. The employee who placed my order was pleasant. Given the size of these empanadas, I think individual pricing should be $3 versus the $5 that I paid. I like that there are freezers to grab your selections and re-heat them at home.

We first came across these wonderful empanadas at the Taste of Cincinnati many moons ago. From then on, we have been absolutely in โค๏ธ with these handmade treats. We drive from Louisville, KY to get boxes of these heavenly pockets with the homemade chimichurri for home. There is a wide variety of flavors and a monthly special one as well. Cooking instructions are easy and located inside on the freezers or online. Inside has a few tables and a couple outside as well when the weather is nice. Itโs very cozy and nice. Lucas always remembers us and has always been so welcoming and accommodating to us. We will forever keep driving up there until they decide to expand to Louisville (wink, wink ๐).

If youโre looking for authentic Argentinian empanadas, this is a must-visit. You can tell immediately that everything is made from scratchโthe freshness is unbeatable. They offer an impressive variety of flavors, and while you canโt go wrong with any of them, the Bordeaux is easily my favorite. I love their creative "Empanada of the Month" concept, which keeps the menu exciting and rotating. Another huge plus: you can buy them frozen to bake at home.Catering also available. They only take a few minutes in the oven and maintain the exact same high-quality, flaky texture as eating in the shop. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, and the location is just a short, pleasant walk from the heart of Covington. Highly recommended!

I ate here a couple of days ago while visiting the Findlay market. They had one worker, and he was working hard getting out all of the orders and running food. He took my order promptly, and was very professional and kind. I ate inside where there was seating, but there was also additional seating outside on the street. I got two empanadas, and it came with a side of chips. They were delicious and heated right before being served to me. It was a great snack for the market, and I would recommend this place to others!
