I'm going to check this place out... today. Love empanadas. On that note, anyone know where to find a good quality Jamaican beef patty in JC? NY has a few bakeries that do them well. Any in JC?

They don't have their food sitting under a heat lamp. Their orders are usually made fresh to go.


Their delivery takes FOREVER. I always complain...then I order again, Their stuff is that damn tasty. Also great value for the price.

How is the "Restaurante Y Panaderia" -- that Guatemalan place on Pacific?


This weekend I set off for the Jersey City African Cultural Arts Festival in Berry Lane Park, but despite plenty of people having a good time, I did not find a fruitful food scene. The lineup was full of a wide variety of performances and the park had a decent number of clothing and accessory vendors.

Thankfully I had planned a long, circuitous walking route to explore a good chunk of lands I had never explored, south and west of Journal Square before arriving at the park. My to-do list gained about ten places, Egyptian seafood restaurants, a couple new Filipino spots, and a number of Central American steam tables.

One of these, which immediately got crossed off the list after I did not find food at the festival was a tiny Guatemalan spot on Pacific Avenue. The company is actually split in two (above), with a bakery on the left and a small steam table kitchen on the right. The bakery has a long list of elaborate celebratory cakes on its roster, as well breads and sweets, but I needed real sustenance after 10 kilometers on the hot pavement.

Olala is actually really good - just long delivery times downtown and ordering over the phone can be a real pain. Worth the wait though the food is very good and the empanadas are worth waiting ten minute for.
