Bought 8 frozen empanadas- they only gave us 7. Put them in the oven and they came out looking great! But then we ate them and they tasted awful. Flavorless, bland, and not worth it at all. The banana Nutella was especially bad. Would not recommend.

Beautiful, well-maintained space staffed by adept and friendly employees. But the value for the cost is a joke. Price on the website is half the actual cost (everything is twice as expensive as they say), so you end up spending 20 bucks for a tiny and inferior version of a hot pocket. BBQ chicken was like expensive, flavorless patté, gross. Ratatouille was honestly amazing, would recommend. Turnaround time was fast. I'm not sure how I felt about this place... mixed response, I guess. In the end, save yourself the trouble and get a microwave TV dinner. You'll like it more, and so will your wallet.

These empanadas are truly delicious! Very creative combinations of fillings. But the truth of the matter is: they are very small for the price they charge. I went home with a box of 10 empanadas that would suffice as an appetizer for 3 to 4 people. And they cost $47. The empanada in the picture that fits along my fingertips cost almost $5 each! and they actually have miniature ones that are actually kind of silly in their smallness. Must have a teaspoon or maybe tablespoon of filling! It’s worth it if money is not a concern for you, but if it is, you are better off finding a different empanada bakery.

These empanadas are amazing. They're my go to as they're consistently excellent. I remember their food truck days years ago and was extremely excited when their brick and mortar shop opened. My wife prefers these empanadas as they're baked as opposed to fried and we both rave over their chimichuri. You can't go wrong with their meat or vegetarian selections and my only problem is I can't stop at just one. Or five for that matter.

As an Argentinian, I have to say that the quality is pretty average and the size of the empanadas is very small for the price.
I wish I could give this place endless stars; five is not enough.
I saw the location across the street while making my way to a nearby restaurant; realizing that I had never eaten an empanada before, I made a mental note to save room for one after my meal. Thank God that I did.
The space itself is clean, bright, and modern; not super spacious, but cozy and well-organized. Self-serve water is a great move, and the drink selection seemed solid. Service was wonderful; I made my inexperience with the cuisine clear, and the staff member at the counter was happy to recommend her favorite ones for a first-timer. I settled on two - a goat cheese/date/bacon combo to eat fresh, and a mushroom/thyme/bleu cheese combo for later - with chimichurri serving as an accompaniment. Turnaround time was quick and my food was served to me piping hot.
I took my first bite, and...wow. I did not expect to almost come to tears over an empanada today. The flavors were so bold - such an explosion! I struggle to find any words that would be remotely adequate to describe them. The tender-yet-crispy crust, the savory goat cheese, the potent sweetness of the dates, with hints of salty bacon throughout..not to mention the freshness and brightness of the chimichurri, which complimented the flavors perfectly. I was truly overwhelmed. I closed my eyes, one hand over my heart, and did my best to savor every bite. I promise this isn't exaggeration! I'm lucky I was sitting at the front windows, facing away from the interior; had the staff seen my face and asked if I liked the food, I would've been unable to contain my emotion.
If you are reading this, please - go there, get an empanada, and kiss the cook's hands for me. I will never forget this experience so long as I live.
Again, five stars is not enough. Thank you, universe, for bringing me here.
Thank you.

Best empanadas ever! Baked and taste fresh and delicious ?. A bit pricey for a small size but you get what you pay for so I’m happy. If you value quality over price, I’d definitely try it out!

After living in Argentina, one of the foods I missed the most was empanadas. The beef empanadas are definitely authentic! The alfajores are really good as well. Definitely worth a try.

I love these empanadas but they keep getting smaller and smaller. They need to stay uniform in size. For $4.25 it shouldn’t be half the size of my hand. The first and second from the top is half the size of the first.
