A good bulgogi bowl is really tough to find, but I think we've struck gold here! This bowl was really, really good! And the portions are generous too, as I'm full and still have half a bowl left for when I get hungry later. And then there's the empanadas...holy moly they were delicious! My wife and I had an assortment, and loved the ones we ate. Again though, because of the nice portions, we still have two left for later that we haven't touched. I really wish that every place we order from could be like this.

This is a small location with no seating. Everyone was friendly and prices are good. Their signage and the ordering method is set up well. Ube horchata? OMG, I got a surprise ube fix! It's unique and tasty. We ordered an assortment of empanadas to try. The Argentinian chicken, chicken pot pie, and Philly cheese steak are all delicious. 5 stars. The pork belly is OK but a little disappointing. The sauces made the other choices so good where this is more just meat and crust. All of them have a pot pie style crust. The apple pie empanada tastes like a McDonald's apple pie for grown-ups. Very good.

Really good empanadas! My favorite was the Argentinian empanada. Although the Philly cheesesteak, pork belly, and guava and cheese empanadas were good as well and decent size. I feel though it is a bit on the pricey side.

Well, after hearing about and passing by this local place for years, I finally made it here to try their empanadas. I might have waited a few years too long though as inflation has raised their prices to the point where I think their products are now just a-ok 3-star values. I picked up an Argentinian beef empanada for $5.95 and a guava and cheese dessert empanada for $3.95. They tasted fine but I thought they were on the smallish side for the price. Each empananda comes in a labeled paper bag, so that's nice for divvying up any order you may place. The Yelp check-in did get me a free mango agua fresca drink so that was a nice Yelp treat that the attendant readily honored. This store is also a carryout only location fyi. It's always nice to personally try a highly rated eatery and this place was no exception.

Everything is always fresh and delicious. I especially like the pork belly and the spinach and feta.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking pretty much in front and easy door to get In-N-Out of.

I have tried their Empanadas because of Complimentary Cafe but this is the first time i actually went to their store. I liked my Samosa empanada. Spinach and feta is always good and has been my favorite. Have you tried Ube Horchata? You should! Its the only place i know that has it and its quite unique. I also love their cantaloupe aguafresca! Definitely going back for that! Place is small. Its not a sit fown place where you can hang out. More of a take out and to go place. Parking is not an issue. Service was great! Happy eating!

I will admit that not all of the empanadas are a hit but man oh man if you get the pork belly you've been blessed! My reasoning for a 4 instead of a 5 is that I've had other empanadas from here that weren't great, but the ones that are good are really good! I go here often for lunch for a quick bite and they are very consistent. There is a self service screen which is nice, it is also kind of awkward that half of the place is closed off. I would like to see the place get a bit of a face lift but other than that the food is great!

I tried this little business a month ago, and I can't stop talking about the wonderful experience. The food is very good and flavorful, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their product. This place is such a treat! Check them out!

On a random yelp search I found this near my mom's house around the holidays. It did not disappoint! We enjoyed the variety of empanadas they had and the sauces! They also had bowls that looked amazing but we were focused on empanadas. Definitely coming back for more rounds of food.
