I fell in lurve with cute-as-a-button, free-WiFi-sportin’, strong-coffee-brewin’ Atlas Cafe the moment I stepped across the threshold. The feeling only grew stronger when I sank my teeth into this salty-sweet empanada, filled with ground beef, chopped olives, sweet sautéed onions, raisins and hard-boiled egg. Be careful with the fiery red pepper sauce! It’s served on the side for a reason. A plate-covering heap of crispy fries makes it a filling meal. If you’ve got an extra $3, a fresh mango smoothie is the perfect antidote to the heat.
