100% Delicias Express opened its doors on Centre Street for the first time on Sunday and there was quickly a steady stream of eager customers.
100% Delicias Express is a sister restaurant of the same name on Hyde Park Avenue and both offer a large and varied menu. Unlike the restaurant in Hyde Park Avenue, the new Jamaica Plain spot only has a few tables for customers in its small space at 660A Centre St.
The JP version sells 10 different types of empanadas, including a ricotta & spinach version, a crabmeat one and quipe (deep fried bulgur).

The empanadas are one of owner Civelis Marte's favorites. Also, the cativia (yucca patties) and pork mofongo (a dish with mashed plantains as the central ingredient).
