I was absolutely delighted to find out about Cassava! My family stopped by today and was amazed by the empanadas!I love tapioca/cassava flour, and this was just the perfect place to grab lunch. The pork empanada was a bit sweet, but the beef was heavenly. The staff was very accommodating, and well trained. To address the negative reviews, I thought that the filling was not mushy at all, and that the cassava root is naturally GF, so the recipe is not adjusted at all. Being able to tell that a flour is GF is not always a bad thing. In all, a quaint, well informed delicious restaurant for everyone to enjoy, not just GF's
