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.

The Boston location is really good but this location is not. I asked for beef no casó but got beef with casó. Seemed poorly managed. Waited too long for service even though it was not busy. Eating tables were dirty.

Food is mid. They also gave me sriracha when I asked for hot sauce.

Outrageously long wait times. It should not take an hour to make two sandwiches under any circumstance, let alone when they are seemingly not busy.
Good food tho. Probably not worth the wait and poor customer service.

I would like to say that this has got to be the worst Pikalo in Boston. They have a phone number for you to place orders for pick up and they give you an estimated time for pick up, but will have you waiting 40 extra minutes after you arrive just to give you a yaroa with burnt hard brown fries and dried pernil and chicken. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend.

Tried this place for the 1st this afternoon. I got a guava and cheese empanada and a crab one. Yum! I asked them to cut the guava and cheese one in half because I knew I was going to share it. They did it cheerfully and the person I gave half to loved it! The ? one was divine. Def going back in the future.

They must specify the work schedules well! On Google maps it says it closes at 10 I went at 8:30 and it was already closed, after making a 1 hour trip from Rhode Island….

Best empanadas in Boston hands down. JP location is the best too!

Pikalo JP has an appealing appearance, yet the prices don't match the quality of the food. Despite claims of fresh-squeezed orange juice, I found it to be neither fresh nor pleasant, with a notably bitter taste. The cheese used in their empanadas also seemed to be of low quality. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. I had initially planned to share a positive review and create some social media posts with the photos and videos I took, but after my experience, I've changed my mind.
