The food is amazing. The people making the food are even better. This place is a must go. I am so glad we discovered it. It has one the friendliest staff. And they make fantastic food.
I had sandwiches and empanadas and both were so tasty. I will definitely go back when I am in the area.

They are always SO nice and it is just a joy coming here. Reminds me of the empanadas my grandma used to have for us.
Usually get the pollo and carñe empanadas with chimichurri but am sure any of it would be good.

Empanadas are so delicious, and crust is buttery and flakey!! Catered three dozen empanadas in 6+ flavors for a toddler birthday party. Order arrived on time, hot, and flavors were nicely labeled. Management even called to confirm we had everything needed because we placed an extra order late the night before. We’ll be ordering again soon!
Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options and very clearly labeled when included in meat order

I love the empanadas…….. But one of the workers or maybe she’s the owner not sure some times her hair is dyed blue but every time after I make a purchase she literally begs for a tip!!!!!!! I think that’s so unprofessional. I feel that’s at the customers discretion. I’ve never experienced that anywhere but there, I really wanted to tell her that’s why I never leave one because she literally tries to guilt you into it or just down right asks…… have some pride and let the customer decide. The food is pretty pricey at that. I’m just saying.

Javi’s Cooking is an absolute gem. The empanadas are hot, crispy in all the right places, and delicious is every bite. The steak milanesa is enough for lunch, dinner, and a snack tomorrow! The bread is fresh but crispy, the lettuce and tomatoes and the perfect proportion and the way the cheese melts and pulls is an experience. The steak is perfectly cooked with the exact amount of breading and seasoning. The service was impeccable and I can’t wait to be not full so I can eat here again!

Javi’s Cooking is a true hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was outstanding—they really go above and beyond to make sure every customer feels welcomed and well taken care of. I had my heart set on the steak empanadas, but they weren’t ready when I arrived. They kindly asked if I minded waiting, and I decided to stay. I’m so glad I did, because when those empanadas came out fresh, they were absolutely perfect! The pastry was light and flaky, and the filling was packed with authentic Argentine flavor that tasted like a home-cooked meal. You can tell they take pride in using high-quality ingredients and making everything with love. If you want a taste of Argentina and a wonderful dining experience, Javi’s Cooking is the place to go. Highly recommend!

We had the carna, jamon, salmon, and humita. Not a single fail in the bunch! Everything was delicious. That salmon with the spray of lemon was heavenly! Pastry was flaky and buttery. Everything was incredible.
The service was soo nice. The woman at the counter greeted us so warmly. It was like coming into your auntie’s place.
Absolutely coming back

If the empanadas themselves didn’t deserve a 5 stars the staff definitely does!! The variety of flavors, tangy chimichurri, and perfect flake of crust are unmatched here and the staff are so sweet a nice, even going out of their way to write happy bday on my box when picking up for a friend!
