    Every single empanada we've tried has been delicious. I think the chicken tinga is my favorite. And for dessert: King of Kong is a must!

    Very exclusive menu that makes it easy to try some of everything. Very helpful staff and the food was delicious. Al Pastor was my favorite and hubs liked the Havana Jerk.

    Great lunch specials. Three empanadas and a drink for $7.99. Ask for specials as they sometimes have new items notion the menu.

    Caipirinha, camarones al diablito, the champ. Finished with key lime empanadas for dessert. So random that music was reggaeton. Lol

    Great for lunch. Two empanadas and a drink for $6.99. The Piggly Wiggly and the Cinco Granos are dope.

    The list of 34 tequilas is helpfully divided into categories for blanco, reposado and añejo and includes such rarities as Patron Platinum and Don Julio 1942. Read more

    Caipirinhas + the Al Pastor + the Havana Jerk + the Holy Frijoles + either the King Kong or the Key Lime = the best dinner ever

    My experience at Calavera was extremely good. Tucked away on the corner of Blount and Davie, Calavera is on the edge of the business section of downtown. Read more

    Havana, holy frijoles, and habanero pork were the favorites at our table. If you go with a group, try them all and split.

    If you haven't had the Piggly Wiggly (the Carolina-style pulled pork empanada) you should; the sooner the better.

    The empanadas are delish here, and the food is cheap. The margaritas are small with tons of ice, and very expensive. Out of balance...

    Honestly the food was superb, however, the hostess with a nose ring on Sat night (3/16) was absolutely horrendous & rude. She turned away at least 12 customers when the place wasn't even that crowded!
