I came here two times in one evening because their empanadas are so fire!Things you should know:I. PARKINGWithin liberty station, so there's various, free parking lots surrounding the building.II. SERVICETimelyIII. QUALITYI wish I had bought a jar of their signature sauce before I left San Diego because wow.. so much flavor! Our favorite Empanada was the Malbec Beef! Had to get more than one.IV. CAPACITYThere wasn't much of a line the two times we came on a Sunday afternoon. Probably because they're so efficient.

Great flavor and selection. Don't forget the Chimichurri it's all good. Received good recommendations from server/cashier. Went with 3 for $10.95 (or you can get 1 @ $3.90) beef, spicy beef and spinach. I preferred the regular chimichurri over the Chipotle and the white creamy one. It's located on the Public Market at liberty station so it's very casual. 3 empanadas was a bit much for one person cuz they were pretty filling and I would've liked to try some other things at the market. So if that's something you may want to do get one if solo but there if sharing.

Delicious empanadas! I've tried the beef and blue cheese ones. I also love their chimichurri and creamy green olive sauce.Sign up to get points each time you shop.

The blue cheese ones are my all time favorite- I have had the other flavors.... I bought 12 of them today! Yum! The olive sauce pairs really well. I'm in heaven!

Best empanadas! My favorites are the Jackfruit, Spinach and Mushroom.I've been to the exact location and I've ordered them for delivery and they had the same quality and presentation. Just delicious!

Love their empanadas and chimichurri sauce! Their crusts are light and flaky, and all the fillings are delicious. My fav is spinach and anything spicy. Best place to go after dropping off or picking up from the airport!
Please DO NOT work here. It’s family owned by the worst employers I’ve had. If you want to get screamed at for using the restroom. Or get written up for calling in sick one time after working there for 6 months never being late. Worst
Amazing empanadas they are flavorful and juicy. The green sauce is a great topping to add and it's not slide my for the people who don't like spice. When you walk up to the stand the staff is welcoming and happy to answer any questions about the empanadas They also offer soda to go along with your empanadas The reason I didn't give this establishment 5 stars is because even thought they are flavorful I have had better empanadas. I prefer empanadas that also have egg inside. This is just a personal preference but it add to the flavor. This is still a great place to stop if you are in the area

I've been walking by this spot for months and finally checked it out and was not disappointed! This is a very cute spot just a couple of blocks from Pacific Beach. I was pleasantly surprised by the space itself. From the outside it looks like a rather small shop but they have a beautiful patio out back. It would be the perfect place to work from, especially because they have a great mid-day deal of empanadas. The service was quick and easy because they're empanadas are premade. Despite that, they came to us hot and crispy. We got 4 empanadas, the Margherita, Raja, Malbec Beef, and Mushrooms. We were thankful that they stamp the initials of the empanada on it, as you can see in the photos. The empanada themselves were not the biggest I've had but perfectly crisp and packed with flavor. My favorite was definitely the Mushrooms and the Malbec Beef. I will definitely be back for their lunch special!

these empanadas are PERFECT. I stop by every time in Point Loma for a spicy beef but you honestly cannot go wrong with any option. Jackfruit is delicious and you would have no idea its vegan. If Ariana is there- trust her recommendations! Great service.

Saturday at 2pmFood/Drinks: Malbec Beef and Jackfruit Empanada; Malbec Beef is was the better of the two. My friend recommended it and definitely a must try. 2 was enough for a quick snack. The sauces it came with were also good. I loved mixing the green and white sauce.Ambiance: The place is small and there is seating outside. There is some seating inside, but I don't think they clean it very often.Service: Ordering was quick and easyTake-Out Packaging: Plastic utensils and sauce containers. Paper trays and bags to hold the food.
