Sophie's.

I'm going to start with one of my favorite places to get lunch. Sophie's.
Amazing food, generous portions, reasonable prices.
They have everyday meals and special meals depending on the day of the week. All meals come with two sides of your choice.

My favorite: Tuesdays and Thursdays/Beef Stew (Carne con Papas) with sweet plantains and yellow rice.

All meals cost: $8 except when they have Ox Tail: $10

When I don't get full meals, I usually get soup.
Mon/Wed/Fri = Chicken Soup
Tues/Thurs = Beef Soup
Both equally good, cost only $3.50

Sophie's also has one of the best empanadas I've tried in the states.
Only $1.50 [They used to have a special that cost $1 each... not anymore]

Finally, I want to end this post with my everyday craving... Papas Rellenas: $1.50
JUST TRY IT!


p.s. Try their spicy green sauce
