The empanadas were great. But I think my favorite part was the chimmichurri sauce. Would definitely recommend!

I was craving something small for lunch, so I thought of getting empanadas. Unsure where to go, I came across this place on Google. I drove over and went inside, where a kind man greeted me. I ordered two chicken empanadas and noticed they also sold alfajores, so I got one of those too. My coworkers were impressed when they saw me eating, especially since the empanadas came with chimichurri sauce. They were so good! Def recommend.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY. The GOOD - I had two spinach & cheese empanadas because the beef & chicken contained hard-boiled eggs, which I'm allergic to. Nevertheless, the spinach/cheese were pretty good, a little heavy on the cheese, & the chimichurri was tasty. Service was friendly & guy was receptive to my suggestion to consider eggless option. Good price. The BAD - Not having a beef & chicken w/o egg option is a deal breaker. I had empanadas in Argentina without eggs, but they were made to order; these were already made & were warmed up. The UGLY -- Very small place on the corner of Roosevelt & Ogden, no seating.
I may try the ham & cheese next time -- or beef & chicken if they add eggless options.
