    Wow. What an impressive spot! The most fresh and yummy empeñadas! Coming from Austin TX, where there’s so much good food, we are truly spoiled - this place is top notch. Husband has been here 4x and he brought me today- and wow. Everything was super Yummy and fresh!! Service was fast & employees were attentive. The wedge salad and the chicken and beef empeñadas … not greasy, just full of flavor!! Can’t wait to go back. They also sell local art! The only thing, I’d love to have had the option of some sour cream and/or some chipotle / spicy aioli sauce - I’m not a salsa fan, but that’s just my personal preference.

    Love this eatery! Great food and atmosphere. Locally sources ingredients also. You won't regret trying the sampler, and don't forget your dessert. Try my favorite, the guava empanada!

    Great little spot. Coming form NY to this area makes food like this a big deal! When you can find authentic food and enjoy the atmosphere it’s definitely a must go place. The empanadas were fresh, crunchy and full of flavor. The spicy sauce was good as well. I love spicy and it was worth it to put in every bite!

    The food here is so well executed. The ingredients are simple and fresh and expertly crafted. I've eaten here several times and it never disappoints. There are variety of crisp, perfectly poofy empanadas, the chicken soup is great with the perfect amount of spice, the avocado salad is wonderful. Many of the ingredients are locally sourced, and they fry in locally produced sunflower oil. It's one of those unique local gems that can give you a great dining experience without breaking your wallet.

    Great place for something simple and original. They handle large crowds with ease and a smile. This is my 3d visit and if I'm back in town I'll stop by again! Great lunch with homemade goodness!

    100% recommend. Food is fresh. They have no microwaves or freezers. You can see the staff making the empanadas right there behind the counter. Staff was very friendly. The food was delicious. I ordered the chicken empanada, stuffed avocado and the guava berry dessert empanada. My ONLY critique that would’ve made this a 5 star is my chicken empanada needed more filling. Since I can’t rate half stars, I chose 5 stars instead of 4 bc the flavor was delicious and I’d go back again.

    This place is awesome!!! The staff is amazing and friendly. The empanadas are outstanding. My best friend moved away and gets jealous everytime I tell her I come here. Always good music playing at a very reasonable volume. Just a great place for lunch. Highly recommend. It is easily in my top three spots of where I take everyone I know. If someone hasn’t been here I insist they try it and I’ve never had anyone say they didn’t like it.

    This place is out of this world!!! I would drive the 3 hours I live from here just to eat here again. The decor and atmosphere is awesome and seeing grandma front and center working away was priceless! Staff is incredible friends and they are very efficient at moving the lunch crowd through. Now about the food…WOW! Best empanadas I’ve ever had by a long shot. I had the beef and market fresh and both were outstanding. As a side I got the stuffed avocado and it was simple yet extraordinarily delish! I of course had to try the very popular guava and cream and it was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. And I’ve had quite a few!!! This place is an ABSOLUTE must!
