Yummy yummy in my tummy! Go now
We had a wonderful time and wonderful meal. Empanadas were fantastic and the owner and bar tender were extremely nice and very accommodating.
The warm, welcoming atmosphere was just as special as the amazing food! It felt like being invited to a friend or close family’s home for a meal and community. We will definitely be back.
