Unreal vibes and absolutely insane empanadas! 🔥 Cubita has completely ruined all other empanadas for me—in the best way possible. Nothing else even comes close. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out!

The empanadas here are the best ones I’ve had, packed and flavorful. you definitely need to ask for a trigo drink 💯. I also love that everything there is made in house. You usually don’t see the owner at their establishment but it was a pleasure meeting Gustavo and learning more about his passion.

I’m definitely coming back
