El Dorado Pie & Treats

i wish i could give this place five stars just because of how nice the owner was, but alas i have a duty as a google maps food reviewer to do my duty. the empanada crust was really buttery and flaky, but i think the filling was just okay?? it was a great meal, but i was not blown away. that is okay sometimes though—not every meal has to be life changing! i would definitely recommend coming here though, just because of how nice and friendly the owner is. and who knows, maybe i just ordered the wrong thing!

Empanadas are okay, not the best in town. A little bland, not enough fillings and very expensive ($6)! I understand 'cos it is a tourist spot but over all, overpriced tiny delicacies!

Food was excellent. I don’t know how they get their pastry so soft and fluffy. Tons of options. Definitely get the blueberry lemon tart and the hot sauce.

Vegetarian options: They had multiple.

I had the spinach quiche and my friend had the beef savory pie, both came with lentil soup and wow! The quiche was delicious, flaky pasty too and the lentil soup had bits of potato and meat ( I think ground beef?) Plus just the right amount of lentils, so tasty. My friend loved the beef pie, flaky pastry and moist beef filling. We definitely are coming back!! I should have taken photos, next time 😊!! The lady behind the counter was super nice too 💗

The dough was quite bland and lacked flavor, and the filling of the empanada was made with ground beef instead of real chunks of meat, and I couldn't see or taste the onions. Overall, the empanada was tasteless, and the only flavor came from the complementary sauce

Appreciate that this isn't just some lame chain, and is a small business. Tho also can't say the food is all that great. Think there's clear room for improvement and the owners know they're cheaping out on fillings presuming they don't get repeat business from tourists. Any local wouldn't go here twice tho.

Wide selection of empanadas! ☺️ excellent service! buttery soft pastry, yummy filling - wished there was more of the latter!

No picture of the Empanada cause we ate it so fast.. It was delicious and a great price.
Definitely recommend trying the Vegan

I bought two empanadas: guava cheese, and dolce de Leche. OMG they were heavenly 😍 the dough was so soft and buttery and the fillings were perfect. I can't believe I didn't try this place sooner!! I remember it being around as a child. 10/10
