Owner was super friendly and gave me recommendations. I think she hand-makes everything herself Tried their traditional beef empanada and it was my first Chilean empanada so didn't know what to expect. It was AMAZING!! There was some egg, olive, and onion that accompanied a sweet,stewed ground beef. My friend got the barbacoa and it was delicious as well. I like how she warms it up for you in 5min, and gives some pico on the side that pairs well. She was sweet enough to warn me that it was spicy but I told her I love spice lol. Lots of seating inside, cant wait to come back and try other flavors!

We had a great experience. The food is great, both the empanadas, and the side salad were delicious. The service was friendly and caring. We were very happy, and plan to come back.

I came here just for dessert, but I have been here previously. Food brings friendliness, I enjoy the staff here. I ate an empanada (apple) and alfajores from scratch. I left with mind blow. Yelp and potential clients please type address manually Yelp has updated the address but not the map.

We had traditional Chilean beef empanadas today. The crust was delicious, and the filling was exactly what we expected. The beef, olive, egg, and raisin filling was spot on.We also tried the empanada of the week, which was ham, cheese, and a dollop of bechamel. Also very good.We have a penchant for the traditional beef empanadas, and will be back again for the star. We will also taste the other fillings.We tried the alfajores, which had a plentiful dulce de leche filling between two thin cookies. Interesting interpretation to the Argentinian alfajores which have thicker cookies and less dulce de leche.The apple empanada had a very nice flavor.We hope that next time they will have the pastel mil hojas (thousand layer cake).Service was pleasant and warm.We hope that they will be able to place a large, visible sign for their business because it can easily be missed, as it's off to the side.You will have to pass the hockey/football tables and she's right there.The ingredients are quality, seems to be made with love, and served by a woman with a warm smile.Check them out :)
