Flavors range from meats and cheese to vegetable options. Carlos and Olga Santos operated Aqui Es Santa Fe in Port Chester for 17 years before closing down in 2020. From their new Harrison location, customers can expect a cafe-style quick service concept that’s built on empanadas but will also serve arepas, tostones, sweet plantains, and soups.
“It will be a Colombian bakery vibe with great coffee and fresh blended juices,” notes Carlos, the co-founder of NADAS. He and Olga are looking forward to a soft opening at the end of January and grand opening the first weekend of February.
