Very good and authentic Argentinean empanadas in the seafront. They taste really great and they are served with optional chimichurry sauce. They are pricie $5 each.Wield fact the person in charge announced the empanadas shouting in Spanish with Argentinan accent but then he address us only in English despite us addressing him in Spanish..

Empanadas are worth it! Had the jalapeño and cheese and my girl had the vegan eggplant, both were better than what we even expected as we've never had Argentinian empanadas

Overpriced and not great. Anyone giving 5 stars has probably never made empanadas in their life

Come for the food, stay for the service. Rico is a class act. Gave me a empanada for my birthday, tips for LA as i was there for the first time, and made great conversation while i waited for my food. Ill return just to see him
