Had the spicy beef & chorizo empanadas. Would highly recommend (especially the spicy beef) 👍🏽 The owner is super nice and the atmosphere is great too! Definitely coming back again in the near future
Great presentation of the empanadas, high quality. I'll start adding photos to my reviews. You should stop at this spot, even pick up to go.
The reason to come here is for their excellent empanadas. It's also great for a grab & go lunch.
I am always looking for a good empanada place, especially Argentinian empanadas just my luck I found this place while walking on Main Street.
I was surprised at the selection--there were a lot of savory ones to choose and less of the sweet ones, considering my visit was late in the day. I chose the traditional beef and spicy chicken to take home. These easily reheated in the convection oven nicely and the crust was crisp. I noticed that at the crust edge are letters to indicate what kind of empanada you ordered. The beef was savory and delicious, it was perfectly moist, as was the chicken. The chicken was a little bit spicy, but not intolerable, unless you cannot eat spicy at all, then I would stay away from the spicy chicken.
Definitely worth checking out--the empanadas are delicious.
I really love coming to this place because it has a simple menu that’s perfectly executed. I’ve tried maybe 5 variations of their empanadas and each one came out super flavorful and fresh. The bread they use has a homemade authentic flavor and their spice isn’t actually too spicy. The empanadas do take ~5 minutes to warm up, but the atmosphere of the cafe feels very cozy and it’s a great place to read or relax. Sometimes they play soccer matches on the big screen and it almost gives a neighborhood bar feel. Really recommend!

Stopped in for lunch, got the lunch special 2 empanadas and soup/salad. I chose mushrooms and chicken empanadas. The empanada were tasty and light. After you order, they will heat them up for you and have a nice crisp to them when served.
The empanada are made fresh, so you get that home style taste to them.
There is seating inside and some seating outside, and the outside seating looks very cozy to enjoy some wine and an empanada.
I would definitely come back again!

We've got mushroom empanadas, a spinach one, a chorizo one and an apple sweet empanada.
These are some of the best empandas that we have ever had! The dough is perfect, and the fillings are moist, tasty and full of flavor.

Wow! What a gem. It's new with a lot of options but obviously you come for the empanada's. There are salads, soups, desserts too. Plus, wine and beer.
A good, consistent option for catering, and you're supporting a woman owned business, so that's cool, equitable.

My coworker referred this place to me. I ordered the Kale and Mediterranean empanada. I asked that my empanadas be heated. It was warm, light crust the veggies inside were delicious and well-balanced in flavor. I recommend this place.

THEY DO NOT HAVE VEGAN EMPANADAS ALL DAY. MAKE SURE TO CALL FIRST BEFORE DRIVING TO THEM.
