I tried this place out while I was in San Diego, Ca. My mother used to make empanadas for us growing up so I had to stop there and check them out. Initially when I walked in I was like okay they may be decent but I after I ordered and sat down, ate and tasted the empanadas. Man I was taken by surprise! I didn’t expect them to be that good honestly. I finished my first order and went and order 2 more lol. I would suggest this place to any tourist, visitor going to San Diego.

My friends and I were in town for a conference and ate at the downtown location twice. Absolutely delicious. The guy working there was cool. Very friendly. I'll definitely eat here whenever I'm in town.

I absolutely love coming to this place because their empanadas are made fresh, right at the moment! There's something truly special about savoring a warm, just-out-of-the-oven empanada. It’s always a hard decision with so many good savors
