" Mango Smoothie" The mango smoothie here is absolutely the best . It's not pricey at all . It's made pretty fast , they have lots of stuff on hand . The vibe is welcoming. They have always good music playing as well ; so you're able to enjoy yourself more in the vibe. The service is constantly attentive and helpful. Parking is limited but manageable.
got the chicken and cheese and devoured it, it was so filling for lunch. it was so good and such a good price. going to be coming here all the time for emergency meals and also just when hungry. There are some chairs to sit but the quick service and the way it is packaged makes it really easy for to-go meals. Can't wait to go back
These are hungry people empanadas. Like empanadas worthy of saying I'll eat that for dinner and that's it. They are so generous with portions, and the mayo-type sauce is soooo good. Every time I come here I kinda wanna get all the empanadas but I know my stomach could only eat three max realistically. Great spot for takeout.
I visited the Jamaica Plain location. I've been coming to this location for years. I haven't been in a while and noticed that this establishment moved a few doors up the street. This new location provided more space than the previous location. It was clean and the staff were friendly. I called ahead to order as there usually is a wait while the food is prepared. Upon my arrival, I noticed this establishment had adopted the food warmers similar to the Dorchester location. I was pleased that calling ahead paid off and my empanada was made fresh. I love this place!
Wow!! The number of creative empanada choices blew my mind! Empanadas are beautiful and chock full of delicious ingredients! This was a welcome surprise. I will definitely order from Pikalo again!!
