The empanadas are INCREDIBLE! I haven't been able to eat empanadas in years, but they make gluten free ones so I went absolutely ham and bought nine different ones. They were all FANTASTIC. Literally my only regret is not buying three more of the pineapple coconut ones 😭 they were SO GOOD.

Dietary restrictions: Great for gluten and dairy free folks!

CUTEST CAFE EVER!!! There’s not many restaurants where you can get Hispanic food WITH bubble tea!! The cafe is super clean, the staff is so nice and the food is amazing! The empanada’s have a beautiful, flavorful crust. I couldn’t recommend more. I mean come on…. SHE PUTS HER CAFE’S NAME ON THE EMPANADA!! Soo cute lol
