Didn't try their food, this place closed a few weeks ago (I went there specifically to buy empanadas, couldn't find the place and someone at the market told me they have recently shut down). Just a comment to avoid others the trip in vain.

New hours! I love this place so much; I hope they continue to get the business they deserve even with the changing hours.

I’ve been eating here for over a year. The fresh empanadas are fabulous and the frozen heat up the exact same. Hoping to see more locations pop up

Hernan is the sweetest, so amazing! We get empandas from here every time we stop by Union Market. The chimichurri is the best I’ve ever had.
