The empanadas are delicious. My favorite are the beef and rice. The bread is like an eggroll textura but the shape of an empanada. The people are very friendly and there is not a longer wait.

Absolutely amazing place - very friendly and fast service and the food was just delicious. Had to order another round because it was so good!Vegetarian options: A few different options for vegetarian friendly empanadas that were very tasty
Interesting mix of items on their menu. Some classic Mexican fare (tacos, burritos and nachos) as well as empanadas. We ordered a few different empanadas ... our favorite was the Nutella/ banana. The spinach and cheese was mostly cheese. The mushroom was good, but had a ton of liquid in it. The beef was packed with meat, well spiced, but dry. The nachos we ordered as an appetizer was a cream and cheese stew with chips buried at the bottom. It was a soggy mess from the start, but tasted good if you have the stomach for that much cream. The beef burrito was excellent (mission district style).
Chicago has so many empanadas and I'm glad I'm finally trying them!! I got the Al pastor empanada and Nutella banana empanada. The Al pastor was said to have pineapple, but it honestly just tasted like meat and cheese. The Nutella banana was decadent and delicious. The restaurant has a sweet, a regular, and a spicy sauce which was fun to try too. I liked the sweet one the best. I really like the affordability of empanadas, and they are a great quick or light lunch option! I'd like to come back and try more of the flavors. The interior of the restaurant is pretty bare, but there are a variety of seating options and lots of natural light.

The empanadas were so amazing. I came here on a Friday night and it wasn’t busy. The chorizo empanada was amazing and I will definitely be back for these. I also got the steak tacos which were ok but I wouldn’t get them again. Stick to the empanadas and you will love it.
