The young lady behind the counter needs smiling lessons, seeming annoyed that we were interupting her screen time. When we got home, we found that 2 of our 6 empanadas were not ones we'd ordered. The empanadas were good but not great. I've had them elsewhere with more abundant filling.

My experience here was nothing less than otherworldly. My order was graciously taken. The empanadas handed to me in a beautiful vessel of love with regular-level spicy sauce. And the taste, oh the taste. Simply unfathomable flavor combinations. My mind and soul surpassed known levels of consciousness as I aggressively consumed empanada after empanada. Lamb? Yes please. Ratatouille? Thank you very much. Goat cheese and mushroom? Do NOT mind if I do. And again and again. Grotesque was the amount of pleasure my mouth received. I cannot recommend more. I will be back.

What a fantastic, cozy find!! From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed by the staff (a sweet lady), & the delicious & juicy empanadas (chicken, beef, etc), & alfajores (shortbread cookie pie with dulce de leche filling)!! And, the Humm Mango Passionfruit kombucha was so good!! We’ll definitely be back for more Argentinian food!!

The braised lamb was so cheap! It was only almost 5 dollars! I was going to get the eggs and bacon but it was only for breakfast so I got lamb, and I'm happy I did. Braising the lamb made it tender and juicy, and the onions really added to the flavor. The crust was also flaky and buttery. If you go here, I recommend you get the lamb.

I ordered 6 dozen frozen empanadas to bake at home for my party for appetizers for ~50 people and thought there would be leftovers but they were all gone! They were a huge hit. Guests really loved them and said they were all delicious. I love how many vegetarian options there were. My favorite is the mushroom and goat cheese.
Super easy to order and pick up. Lovely service. Tasty food. What more can you ask for?!

Been here several times, Amazing Empanadas!!!! It was my moms choice for her mothers day breakfast. The new sausage flavor was our favorite today, she had to go back for another.
🐶 Gus: “Want all empanadas! Oh the smells. The wonderful smells. Friends here are very nice!”
Tried it for the first time yesterday, I got the chicken, chicken pesto, mushroom and goat cheese. Really liked it.
