$13 for 2 tiny burnt empanadas with chewy dry meat inside, a tiny bowl of meh sauce from a can, and a can of coke.

My company offers to order lunch and this is one of the places on the list for the day so I can’t speak to the location itself, only the food. I got 3 empanadas; spicy chicken, spicy ground beef and spicy steak. As well as the red sauce and green avocado half spicy sauce. The steak and chicken were delish mostly the chicken. The ground beef was sweet and threw me off but still yummy. The red sauce was spicy and delicious. The green had good flavor but kind of a downer compared to the red. Would def indulge again. Would like to check out their location. I’d add a photo but I already ate it.

This is very authentic and I say that as someone that has actually visited Argentina. They have many options and they are some of the best empanadas I've had.

Amazing empanadas and great service. The staff are very friendly and helpful

Best empanadas I’ve ever had. And they’re gluten free! I had them 2 years ago visiting Denver and again today and the quality is still amazing. Delicious authentic desserts too!

Pretty decent empanadas for an ok price on the 16th Street Mall. There's a lot of choices, which can make it hard to pick, but they are all pretty yummy, especially after a quick blast in the oven. They are more on the small side for empanadas, which is fine I guess

The food was good I love the chimichurri sauce. But it was very hot inside and the chairs looked uncomfortable so I just took it to go. And the empanadas were kind of small but very good.

I was there on May 22 to eat after my convention, when I walked in I was greeted by a very nice girl with a smile, she went above and beyond to help me select my food as I never had empanadas. I went to a couple other restaurants and definitely the service is not the same. I was impressed with her customer service skills I think her name is Alejandra and I really appreciate the great food and customer service. Definitely Ill be stopping by again.

They have a variety of delicious and freshly cooked Empanadas.

A delightful hidden gem, smack dab in the heart of Downtown Denver. If you are partial to traditional empanadas, you have to try this place! The staff was polite and the service was very quick. The dining area has the relaxing ambiance you'd expect of a cafe tucked neatly in a quaint corner nook. There are many different savory flavors to choose from, and even several sweet options as well. The dough is perfectly crispy on the outside, yet flaky and tender on the inside. The Spinach & Cheese empanada drizzled with their signature Avacado sauce, washed down with an ice cold Corona, was quite the afternoon treat. 5 Stars. Highly recommend.

Flaky, fast empanadas. The Ham & Cheese and the Spinach are two of my favorites.
