Oye Chico!

Buttery, flakey awesome flavor empanadas. Probably the best empanadas I have ever had in my life, and I am from Florida. The Cuban sandwich was better than perfect. The bread is so fresh, the meat is clean and super fresh and the flavor is a 10. I washed my meal down with a jupina (my fav soda ever) and immediately I felt the sand beneath my toes and I looked up and thought I saw a palm tree. Then I had the queso desert pastry and my socks were blown off (just kidding I was already wearing flip flops)! The guy who owns the joint is from Cuba and this place is better than authentic.

Luis makes you feel like a special guest as he’s walks you through making your order! The ingredients were fresh and very tasty. I’ve been hearing about Cuban sandwiches for a while now and glad I finally stepped outside of my comfort zone. It has opened up a whole new world of food for me.
The backdrop of the trailer park makes it a true adventure just across the levee from the crowds and towering skyscrapers in downtown Dallas!
Don’t forget to have dessert. This is a yummy piece of Cuba right in Oak Cliff!

Empanada me! Best empanadas I’ve had in a longtime. The flavors were all fresh and light. To top it off the side of habanero salsa for dipping was out of this world. I followed it up with the Cuban sandwich again everything fresh and light (this pork we’re talking about here easy to be fat and heavy) It was a little dry for my taste but I like a lot of mayo on a regular sandwich. Bread baked fresh too. Loved it can’t wait to go back.

We read about Oye Chico! in a recent Dallas Observer article and decided to check it out. Overall, it was great! It was just after 1p on a Friday when we arrived, and there were a few people waiting for their orders. The owner greeted us right away, and answered a few questions while he completed the orders he was working on. Had a nice chat with the other customers who highly recommended the empanadas. Turns out he only had one empanada left, and he handed the hot, flaky pastry to us through the window to sample. Really, really good. I believe it was chicken and spinach (don’t remember exactly) and it wasn’t the slightest big greasy. One is a treat; 3 would make a great lunch.
We both ordered the Cuban sandwich. He asked how we wanted it (mustard, mayo, etc.) I asked him to prepare it the way he’d eat it himself. He chatted with us the whole time he was working — telling us where her gets the bread and even the imported Cuban sodas. The sandwich was excellent. Flavorful pork and bread that was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. A little Sirachi sauce on the side to kick it up a notch, too. He has a picnic table adjacent to his food trailer, and he even came out and offered to turn on the mister to make it more comfortable for us.
While it doesn’t seem to be the best location to drive food traffic his way, it’s definitely worthy of the excursion to check it out. I’ll definitely be back. I highly recommend that you do the same! I’m all for supporting the small business owner.
