I asked the cashier if they have empanadas with ham and cheese, no egg, she said yes so I ordered 2, ee got them with egg and my wife was throwing up since she can't eat egg.
I also ordered cilantro chicken and i got mushrooms, so 3 out of 5 empanadas were wrong.
No bathroom, not good
I will keep going to milhojas, same service but 100% accuracy

There is no free wifi in this place...so I left the place.

Empanadas are delicious but they do not offer any non-dairy **options or can ask to modify. Bummer. But still...the empanadas are tasty & a good portion size.

**Thank you for the reply! I did see your other non-dairy tasty options but not for BREAKFAST. Your breakfast empanadas all have cheese. I should have been more specific. I buy them for breakfast. The other options are great for lunch (in my opinion) or if you are in the mood for chicken & spice first thing in morning.

Nice atmosphere. Slightly slow service. Empanadas have too much bread for my taste. Great Mexican Mocha!
