I’ve wanted to try this place for a long time, and now that I have, sadly I won’t go again. The empanada was tiny, and the price was not in proportion. The flavor was lacking. I had the jamon and cheese. I have had way better empanadas than this. The person behind the counter was not welcoming. He didn’t let me know that my drink was ready. When I found out that he had placed my drink in a different area than I expected, there was no smile nor an explanation. He was not the person I would have chosen to greet a customer.

We came to Chalos excited about having hot chocolate with churros!! (Argentinian style). It was a big disappointment. The churros were not cooked inside and the hot chocolate was milk with hot fudge. :( We definitely need a place in the city that reflects our genuine (Argentinian) taste in simple yet yummy food. Chalos is not it. The place was clean and the service was good.

My girlfriend and I love their empanadas. We crave Chalos at least once a week! Hands down the best empanadas we’ve had. Our favorite is the baked sweet beef. We always get the baked options. The owners are super nice and great to talk too. Highly recommend a visit. Grab an empanada, coffee, and head to the beach for some views.

I tried a latte with oat milk here and it was really good! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the place even nicer. They only have pastries on weekends, but the café itself is very cozy and definitely worth visiting. Next time I’ll make sure to try more from their menu. Highly recommend stopping by!
Excellent drinks, excellent food, and extremely friendly staff. This is a proper family-run business and it’s very evident! I get lunch and or coffee here nearly every week when possible!

We came into Chalos and ordered an empanada and churro. We were told it would take five minutes, which was fine. While waiting, I started eating a small snack I brought with me. The staff asked me not to eat outside food, which I completely understand and respected.
However, what really rubbed me the wrong way was that a few minutes later, the same staff member told me I had to physically remove my food from the table because it was still visible—even though I had stopped eating it. That felt excessive and unnecessarily rude, especially since we were already paying customers waiting for our order. It left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended), and I won’t be coming back.

It can’t be understated, the food (and coffee) here are phenomenal. It’s like I was transported back to my childhood with my mother’s cooking. Nothing is dry, everything is delicious, and service is amazing. The owners and staff are very attentive, quick, and open to chatting. Can’t beat the service nor quality of food , especially for the affordable price. This is a must visit spot!!! Highly recommend the vanilla cold brew…I had two.
