I was going more for the banana with cheese but the last one I ate came out a little burnt, I didn't like it at all! You can buy 50 dollars worth of empanadas and chorizo and they refuse to give you a few pots of pink sauce! Which I find very bad since if someone makes a purchase of that magnitude at least ensure your customers by giving them pink sauce when they ask for it!! Service: Take out Meal type: Other Price per person: $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2 Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid street parking

I thought they were a Bubble Tea shop, so I was like, "do you Carry Taro?" And they were like "si, si, we are El Carretero!" I never did get my Bubble Tea, but I didn't care. What I did get was literally one of the best empanadas I've ever had in my life. Heavy and filling, but delicious. Reminds me of Venezuelan style, which makes sense since this is a Colombian place. They're neighbours you know. What to get: Empanada What not to get: Empathy For The Devil Why not: The Rolling Stones said so You like them: No Then you are banned from England: No, the Rolling Stones are a band from England They have a lot of great Colombian drinks and breakfast food as well, so you should definitely give it a try. The Chorizo that comes with potatoes is the pick of the breakfast bunch. The drinks include concoctions like Guayaba (Guava) and Maracuja (Passion Fruit) (not Drake). If they sold cereal, they'd be "El Carry-Cheerios", and if they were a Mexican dessert shop, they'd be "El Carry-Churros." If they read fortunes, they'd be "El Carry-Tarot", and if they were Italian, they'd be "El Carry-Torino." If they were stubborn and sexy, they'd be "El Carry-Taurus, and if they were a legendary gay black and white actor, they'd be "El Cary-Grant." This part of Union City is absolutely filled with all kinds of Latin Delights. It reminds me a lot of Elmhurst in Queens. You should come here and explore. I know I will. Many times in the future. Forget Pacino and Robert DE NIRO Forget your Deli, Soul Food and GYRO If you're like Bonnie Tyler and you need a HERO Get yourself straight to EL CARRETERO QUE.
