The taste of the empanadas is truly amazing, crispy crust with great flavor, and wonderfully the price is the right one for an empanada, don’t go to places where they want to charge you 4-5$ per empanada, go here, eat a bunch and be happy.
The picante sauce is really great too, I wish they would do it a little more creamy, it would make it 10 times better, but honestly, I would recommend this place anytime for their great service and delicious (and affordable) empanadas!! Thanks Cali Viejo!!

Looks Great, But no Flavor: The atmosphere was fitting, if you want a restaurant that really looks the part this place is beautiful and authentic, but unfortunately looks is all the place has going for it. Service was good, fruit juices were amazing. Me and my girlfriend got 2 completely different entrees and they both tasted exactly the same, bland and flavorless. They looks amazing with an assortment of different food on the plates we were really excited, but everything thing tasted watery and flavorless. If youre going to post some pictures on your ig and not eat the food, that about as good as it goes, couldnt recommend the place.

Honestly the only good thing was the service. Very friendly and sweet. The food was definitely not fresh. We ordered the parrillada which is everything grilled and mainly got this because it had skirt steak. We left the pieces of skirt steak bc they were definitely pre-heated and a couple of days old. The fried fish was definitely frozen from restaurant depot and yellow rice was couple of days old and pieces were even hard. We ate because we were starving. But it’s our first and last time we will go there. Quality of food just isn’t right. So sorry just had to be honest.

This is the best place, the best quality customer service and the best food. We have been regulars for 5+ years, and Alex has always remembered us, even remembers our order every time! Couldn’t be more happy to continue to come to a place that cares about us, and the food is consistently great every time!
