One of my favorite things to get at the chuchifrito place in Washington Heights. That and the meat and cheese empanadillas and bacalaitos. Ah memories.

Yummy! Love alcapurrias 😋😋 My grandma did them a little smaller and even sometimes when she didn't have the picadillo she did fill them with corn beef. They were pretty good but I love them more with the picadillo. Thanks Jeff. Looks delicious. Must eat them as soon it comes out from frying it's taste is much better cause letting it sit it would get a little soggy and oily. 😁
