The mix of delicious, healthy Deep Purpl açaí bowls and smoothies plus the vegan empanadas is a total winner. They've also added cookies which my kids say are the best. A little something for everyone here!

Cute place, but not worth the trip. Menu is creative. Food is frozen and reheated as needed. Portions are small for the price, and they charge an undisclosed 3.5% "service fee" on top of tax and tip.

These were really tasty. I always hear great things about this place but the ones I got were definitely overcooked. Still interested in giving it another shot as they were still good! Updated from previous review on 2023-12-16

The garlic sauce is good.Everything else was dry and joyless.

This place is great. Every empanada I tried so far tastes delicious. Staff is always friendly and the food doesn't take long either.

It was fine! About usual for frozen empanadas places, pleased that they were plant based. Pricey and the crust texture is not the best due to being reheated. However, the service was great.

I live walking distance from Fon's, and I am so sorry that we didn't visit much sooner! First of all, the service was amazing. Margherita empanada, corn empanada, and apple cinnamon were all so delicious! The price point is very reasonable. I didn't think one would be very filling, and I was so wrong lol! I had one entire empanada plus three small bites of my fiance's food and I'm stuffed! We will definitely be back again!

We tried 6 of the savory flavors and they were all yummy! The garlic dipping sauce is amazing. They have a couple of sweet options as well.
