"I had some free time yesterday while in Worcester, waiting for my fiancé, who was at a dentist appointment. So his cousin & I decided to take a walk around to kill time. We came upon La Central & decided to go in, as it was a place I'd never been to or heard of. I have lived in Worcester previously for a time back in 2010, I now live almost an hour away. Anyhow, the minute we walked in, we noticed that this place smelled heavenly & we were eager to see what they had available for food. The variety was amazing! Menu selections all sounded wonderful. Prices reasonable. The lady behind the counter greeted us warmly & was very courteous & sweet. My fiancés' cousin chose cheesecake (a whole one for him to split with his Mother, but I believe they may also have slices). I had trouble deciding, so I went with the chicken croquettes (2) & beef empanada (2). These were to share with my fiancé. I also knew I couldn't leave without adding something sweet, so I grabbed a box of (4) brigadeiro. Everything here is just as delicious as it smells! The service was fantastic. It was also a very comfortable & clean setting. They do have restrooms available for customers also. We were very impressed & do plan on returning next time we're in the city of Worcester. Awesome family owned business. They also have numerous pastries, fresh breads, sandwiches, including panini & much more! See for yourself. Ground level & wheelchair accessible. Appropriate setting for both adults & children. Love it & can't wait to try more of what they have to offer! Located right on Main Street. **Note: my photos include two from the inside & one of me sitting outside, enjoying one of their chicken croquettes.**"

"Ordered for the first time. Got the Cobb salad. On their menu it says it comes with mixed greens. As you can see in the picture, it came with chopped lettuce. Also,the boiled egg was overcooked, shown by the greenish ring around the pale yellow yolk. The salad was plated in a nice way. Typically I've gotten it mixed together, but I'm not a cook, so not sure what's right. Returned it back to the cashier, told her that it didnt come with mixed greens, she brought it to the kitchen after being unclear about what i meant by mixed greens versus lettuce. She came back saying they don't have mixed greens, only what's available in kitchen. Also they are the new owners and haven't changed the menu."

"Great place. The empanadas are amazing here. The staff is very polite and the overall vibe is awesome. The place is always real clean and the food always fresh. Def recommend if you’re in the downtown Worcester area."
