Its tangy flavor is the perfect mixture of Florida essence and Caribbean craft without an overly sweet aftertaste. 

Empanadas

If you belong to a family of Spanish or Latin American descent, you'll love devouring empanadas . These half-moon shaped pastries come in varying flavors of beef, chicken, or crab. At just $2.16, you can dip these fluffy puff pastries in salsa or eat as is at any time of the day for a much-needed snack or with your daily meal.

Island Style Drinks

If you're looking for a drink that gets you in the mood for virtually any event, island-style drinks are your calling. These refreshers are packed with a fruity punch and tangy freshness to do justice to any meal you're devouring while considerably improving your mood. Any poolside party is incomplete without a tropical drink in hand. 

Stuffed Potatoes

Whether it's potato skins or Hash browns, we love any dish that has potatoes in them. Stuffed potatoes are the comfort food you need after a long day's work. Imagine cutting into a fresh and hot stuffed potato to find seasoned beef oozing out from the crumbling crispy layer. We're drooling at the thought of it!
