Not impressive at all. Empanadas were so dry. Lacked flavor, was not worth the calories or the money. 30 dollars in the trash. Service was nice , but this confirms I won’t be back.

The empanadas are extremelyyyyy dry. Get a bottle of water if you want to be able to swallow your bites

Great place to grab a quick bite. Many different options. My fav was the buffalo chicken and the Cuban sandwich empanada. They have a great hit sauce to put on top. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

I like going here to sit in the front of the building with my son. It’s nice to sit on a busy road and people watch sometimes, while being able to get my son out of the house at the same time. I’ve only ordered a drink and empanada here and they were decent. I’m mostly writing the review because of the owner. He’s such a nice guy was very friendly and kind to me and my son. The sons owner also works here and he’s a nice person as well.

I ordered catering dessert empanadas to the office and not only were the empanadas delicious and a HUGE hit at the office, the way they labeled the flavors according to how they were placed inside the box (i think there was 4blueberry and 1 mango and they even labelled 1 mango because there was one on the right, anyway) made it so easy for me!

Extremely short staffed. But the young lady that helped us was so quick and nice. Empanadas tasted delicious. Spinach and feta was amazing!Updated 7/14/23I'm not sure what's happened to this place but it's going downhill. The service sucks. The young lady with the long lashes isn't friendly. The empanadas are dry af. Went in today and wasn't even acknowledged so we walked out. Won't be back.

By chance, I ended up tasting some delicious empanadas. But the best thing was the empathy of the duel, the good vibes and the attention of the staff was well worth remembering.
