Omg. We had these our last day in Venice. I wish we'd had them every day!!! They are crispy, flaky, and tender - the fillings (we got chicken and beef) we're soooo delicious - perfectly spiced, a little heat - the sauce was killer... We live in Maine and I'm literally dream of these things... seriously thinking about a return trip just to try the rest of the flavors. Rico, you are a master of your craft! Wish you shipped cross country!!!

These might be the best empanadas I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten a lot of empanadas in multiple countries! The dough was perfect and not dry. The beef flavor was great (no eggs or olives despite the menu listing but full of flavor) and topped with a garlic sauce that’s to die for. The guava lemonade was also great! An unassuming gem on Venice Beach ❤️
