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.

Vegetarian options: There are at least ten vegetarian empanada selections, as well as salads...
It's a stand at the bar kinda place but swankish, I mean they have really nice wood countertops to eat at. We ended up here after trying the tycoon across from it for dessert. Ended up taking some empanadas to go. We tried two veggie and two meat. We thought the veggie were better but all were tasty, we liked them better than the ones in the ferry building. I'll go back to try the other's.
