Aqui Me Quedo is one of the best Spanish restaurants in Hartford. It is great and quick to get food, ranging from pollo con arroz (chicken with rice) to empanadas and alcapurria.
An empanada is a meat filled pastry that is either fried or baked. Traditional Spanish empanadas are filled with beef or chicken. Aqui Me Quedo on Park Street serves pizza empanada (fried) that is quite good and surprisingly light. They call it un pastelillo de pizza.
Alcapurria is a deep fried yucca (a root vegtable sort of like potato), filled with pork.
A pizza empanada and one alcapurria cost me $3.75, As you enter the store, to your left, you will find these treats along with others in a heated glass display.
Sometimes, I just order the roast pork or roast chicken, which is sold by the lb. A half pound of roast pork is about $4.50.
