“get the combo #2 you will thank me.“

“I really appreciate the wide variety of options they offer. Personally, I find the sweet flavors better than the savory ones. I tried the jalapeno beef and chicken, which were a bit too salty for my taste and the filling felt slightly dry. On the other hand, the guava cheese was excellent and truly impressive.“

“I picked up a few empanadas here — the classic beef, a chicken avocado, and the apple for dessert. The beef had a decent flavor, though the filling was a bit uneven at times, and the chicken avocado was pleasant but didn’t stand out. The apple empanada was sweet and cinnamon-y, but a little dry on the edges. The crust is flaky and crisp, which is nice, but some fillings felt a bit sparse compared with the price.

Ordering is fast since it’s mainly takeout from a window, but that means there’s no real indoor dining vibe. There is a bench nearby and some space to stand, but no proper outdoor seating.

Service was friendly enough, though it didn’t feel especially personal. Parking is metered on the street and can fill up during busier times. Kids could enjoy the smaller portions, but with the lack of seating it’s better for quick bites than sit-down meals. Waiting time was short, but flavor consistency and a few crowded moments kept this from being excellent.“

“Biggest thing to know is that is cash only. The place is very compact, but homey.
Good food, and well seasoned. Only issue was how expensive it was. Parking is a little tough, but worth it for a little piece of Central America here in LA. Posting the latest menu updates circa 09/2024“
