The next dish that I got was the shrimp empanada and it was HOT coming straight from the fryer. I had wanted the chicken croquettes but they had run out. I got there really early so the fact that they were already out was a strong signal to me that a return visit was necessary to taste that. The empanada was served with an aioli with chives. On texture, the crust was slightly crunchy but still had a softness to it. With the aioli, it was a nice bite but in all honesty, I preferred it plain as there was just a natural richness to it. I may be a bit partial to eating items in a dish solo though as I personally feel that every component of a dish should stand well on its own. That said, when I got a taste of the shrimp, crust and aioli all together, that was a magical bite.
