The empanadas are good and their buns, what I don't like and outrageous, is that they leave a person alone to attend to the business occasionally, I arrived and they came for an online delivery and it wasn't ready and my service was somewhat slow due to that there was only one gentleman serving, the owner should think more about the service costomer and his employees

Ordered online, money got taken from my account. When I arrived they didn’t have anything I ordered available, asked for a refund the guy there did not bother to give a refund kept telling me to cancel the order online because they never accepted it, but there was no way of cancelling it, the man saw this and still said he can’t refund me my 40+ dollars and the tip I left. Would not recommend ordering online since they like to steal your money.

Ok so, I think this place needs more love. The negative reviews (currently) are pretty harsh in my opinion. I spent my teens and early twenties in south Florida, and you know what people in their teens and twenties eat? That's right, empanadas lol. They're cheap, hot, quick and good. Cuban empanadas are amazing, with a strong yet flaky dough with bubbles (not like a pastelito), that holds together the juices of the filling. THESE empanadas are similar with a big difference. The dough is the same amazing result and the best I've had outside south Florida. The difference is the filling. Which is not wet from vegetables and seasoning. I wouldn't say it's unseasoned at all, the beef (res) empanada I had was really tasty, with filling more akin to a nice couple of tacos than some juicier empanadas. This has a great bonus of being REALLY EASY TO EAT ON THE GO. Also, not having a juicy filling means the item stays together better. They have salsas for the empanada so you can sauce it up as you like ;) it's a pink sauce that tastes a bit like vinegar. The huevos jamón y queso (ham egg and cheese) also went over well, very cheesy eggs! Also, the owner (she seemed like the owner operator, working the big shallow frying pot in the back) was very nice and is bilingual if your Spanish is not so great like mine . Good service

Twice now I've gotten incorrect/missing orders. Last time I ordered online in hopes of a different outcome. They literally just throw whatever they want in the bag. & the ones I get are lacking in taste. This used to be the spot but it has gone very down hill. It was nice while it

I love going here for lunch while working down here in the area. Great option for something hot, tasty, and not pricy. I appreciate that the workers are bilingual too. Thank you!

The yucca empanadas are so good! Highly recommend them.Prefer them much more over the other type they had. Wish the other empanadas were smaller empanadas and more traditional.

Went with my daughter to try this place out, we weren't impressed by Jose's less than friendly demeanor and the labels explaining what the flavors of the empanadas weren't spelled correctly. Definitely overpriced and didn't taste good, won't be going back!

Very very RUDE woman working at the counter. Have been coming here for years and never had an issue until today. She had an attitude with another customer as I was walking in and proceeded to get loud, roll her eyes, and ask her why was the customer was still in the store all because she wanted more sauce for an overly cheesy empanada. I was so disgusted that I left. God forbid I wanted extra sauce. I would have gotten the same treatment. Very distasteful. That women needs to be fired.
I bought a few empanadas for myself and coworkers, it was very tasty and fresh thank you

I thought the empanadas were below par. Had the chicken and was excited at the size at first. However I came to find out that less than half of it was chicken….The chicken itself was dry (wasn’t given sauce) and were $5 each.Pikalo makes them a lot better and at a cheaper price. I’ll just go there next time I’m in the mood

Love this place enpanadas are very good and portions are great. natural Juices were also good.
