Been going since a kid, Cubans always hit , had a friend come from California and loved it better than a Philly cheesesteak
I go here for the Empanadas which are noticeably larger than any other empanada sold in the town of reading. I believe the owner of this particular bodega is Cuban so they sell many Cuban sandwiches here and they sell a lot of breakfast sandwiches here, the grill always seems to be running breakfast and lunch. There is a lot of traffic here amongst the locals for cups of coffee, empanadas, newspapers, and other small supermarket necessities etc..
