8 Great cocktails with a tropical twist
You may come for the empanadas but it’s the cocktails that will prove to be the icing on the cake. Along with the usual standards they offer 8 signature cocktails. All of them feature a refreshing, tropical touch with many bright flavors elevating your “usual” into an experience. They perfectly capture the “I’m on a vacation” attitude in every drop.

20 centuries of history in every bite
Empanadas are thought to have originated in Portugal and Galicia around the 7th century. They were basically a convenient way to transport stews and other preparations out to the fields. Their versatility is their main virtue and at Dos Lobos they have become a canvas to fill with savory preparations.
The marvellous 8 choice menu
At Dos Lobos you can choose from 8 different, very reasonably priced options that pay homage to the origins of the empanada. Four options are based on classic criollo combinations: Pernil or roast, smoked pork with a guava bbq sauce, Pollo Guisado chicken breast stewed with red sofrito, Carne, ground beef in a green sofrito, and the local sweet savory favorite Guava Quesito, sweet guava paste with local style cheese. The remaining four are all around favorites, the playful Cheeseburger complete with pickles and a mysteriously good cheese sauce, the Churrasco, prime chimichurri marinated grilled skirt steak, Cebolla y Queso, the Dos Lobos take on french onion soup and finally Spinach and Cheese but taken to another savory level.
Have a pair and savor the sauces
As with everything good, the advice is to order at least two of the generously filled creations. Better yet, if you’re with a group, mix and match so you get to try them all. Each one comes paired with a recommended home made sauce ranging from a hot Habanero-Chipotle to the local Mayo Ketchup. A couple of tropical pineapple and papaya sauces along with chimichurri round up the offerings.
