Just a small place with counter service, but the empanadas are delicious. They are an open faced type, with many varieties, including vegetarian.

La Farola is true Argentine comfort food. The empanadas are incredibly flavorful, and the sweet breads are moist and delicious — perfect with a café con leche. It’s a wonderful spot to meet up with friends or for a girls’ catch-up. Truly one of my favorite comfort-food places.

I got the spicy beef and pepperoni empanadas and they were not good at all. I was shocked because of the good reviews. The spicy beef barely had any flavor and so did the pepperoni one. The only taste on the pepperoni one is the crust and salt. I get much better tasting ones at the farmers market that I go to on saturdays but it was raining hard this morning so I didn’t go and thought I’d try this place this evening. Bad choice.

Worth going to. The empanadas are the huge draw. The proprietor, Juaquin, is charming and very helpful. I spoke to a couple of other customers who advised to try the cheese based and also the beef based empanadas. I also ordered a milanase sandwich, but found it too tough for my liking. The cookies he had available were very good...try the dulce de leches ones...nice!

Really great spot! The staff was friendly and helpful. I got the beef Milanese, which came perfectly fried, and a beef and a spicy chicken empanada that were both spot on. Definitely coming back!

I was a little disappointed that the chicken and beef empanadas were tasteless compared to the previous time I went there. But I was pleasantly surprised by the juicy and tasty Arab empanada.

This place is great. All the empanadas I've had from here are good but we pretty much only get the spicy saltena and regular saltena (for the kids) any more as those ones are really our favorites.

Happy to see this place is doing well the food and service are both really good.
