Lito’s Nutella and Banana Empanada is a must-try! The flaky crust is perfectly crisp, and the warm, gooey mix of Nutella and ripe banana is pure dessert heaven. Sweet, rich, and totally satisfying—easily one of the best treats on the menu!

Stopped in with a friend and was very impressed. The man working the counter was very friendly, the food was AMAZING, and it was very reasonably priced especially considering how delicious it was. The sauce was also great and was included with each empanada. Will hopefully be returning!

My girlfriend recommended this place because she works near by and comes to the French Market often for lunch. One of her coworkers recommended the chimichanga as she just ate it and said it was delicious. The next day my girlfriend ordered herself one and she was ecstatic about it. The Chimichanga came with a drink, two sauces of her choice, pico and sour cream on the side. It was so heavy that it literally felt like 2 pounds. The next day I was dropping her off at work and knew I had to give this place a try. I ordered the chicken tinga and was the best Chimichanga I have ever tasted. The size, plus the drink and sauce combo gives it a true bang for its buck. I’ll continue to pass it on and recommend this place to my friends!

Pretty good! Nice assortment of flavors, although a lot of the possible items were sold out when I visited on Saturday around lunchtime. So maybe need to go earlier. I had the serrano salsa which was flavorful. Service was great. Def worth a stop.

The empanadas here are absolutely amazing! I wish I could visit more often, but it's a bit out of the way, so I usually stop by only when I'm catching the train. Bonus: the guy behind the counter is super friendly. Definitely worth a visit—you won’t regret it!

Delicious empanadas with fantastic flavor options! We tried the chicken & mushroom and spinach & cheese, both of which were well flavored and paired nicely with the spicy Serrano sauce.
