I was skeptical when I saw the empanadas were reheated in a subway-sandwich-style oven, but I was quickly won over. My ham and cheese empanada tasted fresh and flavorful, while the chipotle empanada wasn't my taste but was still quality. I'd recommend skipping the small side of green herb and oil sauce, and asking for more of the orange tomato-y sauce. The sangria was average quality (mediocre wine and not much sweetness) but it was VERY generously portioned for $9....
We tried the Argentine Beef, Aji (Spicy) Gallina, and Mushroom empanadas. All of them were super tasty, and I would go back in a heartbeat. I'd say the Aji empanada was only mildly spicy. My BIL had the Argentine Chorizo and also loved it. We were impressed with the wide variety of empanada options, which is one reason we chose this versus some of the other empanada places.

The five-pepper manchego and sweet corn are really solid veggie options. I've heard great things about the salteña beef as well. The alfajores are always a nice sweet treat for dessert, the soft texture is delightful.
They heat up your empanadas to order in the oven so they are always fresh and perfectly warmed. This can mean that there can be a wait...
