We were very excited to try this place after seeing it on Tik Tok and the food was good. We got over one dozen empanadas and a half dozen of the meat balls. The food was a little pricey but I never mind spending if the experience is worth it. What kinda killed it for me was the fact that we ordered a lot of food and they only gave us one of each of their dipping sauce that is meant to be eaten with the food. So a total of three dipping sauces. In my opinion for the amount of food we got, this is not nearly enough and when I asked how much to get more sauce they said it would be $3 more per sauce. That’s wild! If I can make a suggestion to the owner of this establishment it would be that for every half dozen of items purchased, the customer should get one of each sauce. So in our circumstance we should have gotten three of each sauce. Hope this helps!

Chicken curry empanadas are the TRUTH. Dulce de leche hot latte foam stood strong after a 15 minute drive across town (pics enclosed). Had a guava cheese pastry too that was decent, never tasted quava paste so strong! Could've used a smidge more cheese to balance it out imho. I will be back to test the other delectables, so many to choose from. I get why they went viral online.

My toddler took one bite, made an alarming face, gagged and said ow, as he spit up. He immediately stopped eating the cookie we had just purchased. I was excited to try this place because of the positive reviews of their baked goods. It was my first and will be my last time going. Inside his cookie was a sharp black piece of plastic about the size of a dime. If my son would have choked, swallowed or injured himself severely, I would be having a different conversation with this establishment. I am truly disappointed and will not be recommending this place to anyone I know. Please be careful eating here!
Definitely will try again. Service was amazing, Chantelle has great energy towards customers. The food and pastries were good too!

LOVE THIS PLACE! Delicious empanadas with a good selection of flavors! Our go to for catering. They come frozen which is so helpful and makes it so easy to entertain while they are baking. Always a hit!

Super tasty cookies and sandwiches. Slightly pricy but justified.

Empanadas, sweet brownies with white filling. This place is really good. I liked the roasted almonds on the deserts.

The empanadas were dry, lacking flavor, and the crust tasted stale. However, the guava cheesecake was really good.

Been here several times for the Cuban empanadas & sweet treats. Most of the time, I came in the morning around 9-10am so parking is easy. It's a small & cozy store and they do have the outside patio with couple tables and chairs for you to enjoys the foods while it still warm. Service is great so far for me. Easy to order and you just wait 3-5mins or longer (depending on what you ordered or on #s of customers). The foods are generally good to great. Hard not to just eat one since if like 2-3 bites...tasty and well make. Prices can be average to abit tiny pricey for my pov. But I still like it.

Food was somewhat disappointing. Lacked flavor and moisture. Got several empanadas, potato balls in a couple styles. Most empanadas tasted similar Shell was kind of dry and edges stiff and not flakey. Maybe due to being baked or previously frozen? Potato balls were bland and pastey, filling inside was lost and dry. Outer crunch was good. Not much seating but its mostly a take away place. Service was attentive.

Potato ball was very good. I’d come back and get
It again. They gave me 2 different sauces with it, which I thought was a nice addition. Staff wasn’t very welcoming though. Felt very transactional, so if you like that type of atmosphere, it’s perfect for you. Would I go out of my way to come here? Probably not.

Better than Porto’s food and service-wise (shorter line) the cookies would be better off without the cream filling they use. Without it, you’d be able to savor and taste more of the cookie flavor. And it made cookie soggy so removing the filling from cookie wasn’t a success
However, the place is small = less seating options to enjoy your food.
It’s more ideal for a grab-and-go
