Excelente servicio,higiene, responsabilidad,amabilidad y sobre todo se puede comer buen gusto.
No frills takeout spot featuring a TON of different empanadas — from savory to sweet. Ordered takeout with friends and we each ordered 3. These are huge and we quickly realized two would be sufficient. Dough was great. Would definitely encourage cheese with the meat variety otherwise they can get a little dry. More descriptions on the menu would be helpful.

Pikalo JP is a restaurant known for its delicious empanadas, featuring a wide variety of options from savory to sweet. The guava and cheese option remains a popular choice, along with the chicken and cheese. The empanadas are large, and many find that ordering two is sufficient. The dough is praised for its quality, and adding cheese to the meat varieties is recommended to avoid dryness. The staff is friendly and attentive, willing to accommodate requests, such as cutting an empanada in half. Pikalo JP has recently relocated to a new, clean, and spacious location in Jamaica Plain. While there can be a wait for the freshly made food, calling ahead can help ensure a quicker experience. The restaurant also offers a "Mango Smoothie," which is noted as the best and reasonably priced. With good music playing, the vibe is welcoming, making it a reliable choice for a tasty meal.
