We were craving Argentinian food and didn't feel like cooking, so I remembered I'd seen the name of this place somewhere, Googled it, and off we went. I highly recommend the meat empanadas, really super delicious! (I didn't take photos). ?We will be back soon!. ??

The flavors are all there in their empanadas and saltenas. The chimichurri and other condiments great. Ambiance and service friendly and cozy. I get the sense that much more of their business is for takeout and catering. The owner seemed a bit in over his head handling ours and another table with a big family. Our empanadas were for the most part stone cold. That's why I assume they do mostly catering as its really hard to not know how to warm up their signature dish. I'm giving them a pass on having a bad day. I gave the owner feedback, so I'm hopeful it won't happen again.

We had the best Argentinian cuisine experience! We went Saturday evening where we were greeted with a musician playing classic songs from Argentina. The place was decorated with authentic art and cultural references. They had a store front inside the place with authentic sweets and other goods you could buy and take home to enjoy. We got the Flap Meat Steak from their Grill menu. Let me tell you, that steak was cooked perfectly to order! The house made salad was fresh, their fries were crispy, and their homemade chimichurri went great with everything. All for $25! What a deal and experience. I highly recommend trying this hidden gem of a place.

Empanadas seemed like store-bought frozen fare and came cold in the center. Baffled how this place has so many positive reviews.

I ordered 4 different empanadas- beef, chicken, chicken curry and Colombiana- all were delicious, but the chicken and beef were outstanding.

Best place to order empanadas for your party. I recommend ordering the mini ones. We loved chicken, spinach and mushroom ones.

No authentic Argentinian empanadas. We tried the beef chimichurri. Very soft dough. The filling no tasty. The Dulce de Leche sweet empanada..... I couldn't finish it. Was no bad but not good at all. This review is about the food Truck.

Called to place an order.Woman who answered phone barely spoke English.Asked about raviolis.. said they didn't have them today.Asked about sandwiches.. said they didn't have them today.She said "Only empanadas today".I asked "So, you don't have any sandwiches, salads, pizzas, pasta??".All of which is shown on the online menu.She said give her one moment.Comes back after about 20 seconds or so and says they have pizza and names a few pizzas.I said have a good day and hung up.Really gotta get people who can speak English and present your menu selection properly.

Tried this place, dined in. Ordered Empanadas, only a few flavors were available, so we ordered those... unsure of what we actually ate because the server weren't even sure which ones they served us. Anyways, pretty bad experience since the empanadas were all cold inside after we bit into them. Disappointed, probably won't try again.

Great food, run by the owner, made fresh and to order. The empanadas are light fluffy and delicious. Worth a visit!

Not authentic Argentinian empanadas food. The Colombian empanadas we're also far from authentic. 2 stars because the servers were nice.
