My wife and I moved here after living in Latin America for years, and we were incredibly happy to discover an empanada shop that has such great flavors. Very authentic ingredients as well as some surprises like the Panzerotti. Their Mexican Mocha was also fantastic! Not overly sweet, which is so hard to find in a mocha. We literally haven't ordered anything here yet that wasn't delicious.
Highly recommended!
Sooo good!!! Awesome staff

Big E Cafe is a cozy neighborhood restaurant known for its delicious empanadas. The empanadas have a soft dough with a satisfying crunch and a variety of savory fillings, including the traditional beef with olives and the popular lomo saltado. The cafe also offers hot sauce options and a selection of coffee drinks, from classic drip coffee to barista-made specialty beverages. The owner and staff provide friendly and welcoming service, creating a comfortable atmosphere for customers to enjoy their meals. While the cafe does not currently offer non-dairy empanada options, it has received praise for the generous portion sizes and the quality of its signature dishes, such as the pizza, chicken cilantro, and sausage egg and cheese empanadas. Many customers have expressed their loyalty to the cafe, having visited it for years and finding it to be one of the best empanada spots in the area.
