Absolute wonderful person and the empanadas are to die for! Creative flavor that are baked to perfection. Try the buffalo chicken or Mexican chicken!

Ohmygosh these empanadas where pure heaven. I ordered 2 dozen for a brunch I was having and everyone loved them, including me. The only downside was there were no leftovers, ha ha. Highly recommend

I live in Miami and these are seriously the best empanadas I've ever had in my life. The owner is also the sweetest lady ever <3 Get the beef and cheese you won't regret it!!!! The chimichurri sauce is also amazing.

Joyce visits my company monthly as part of an onsite Farmer's Market and her empanadas are always a big hit. She's always very pleasant and has a variety of traditional empanadas for meat-lovers and vegetarians such as myself. Some of my favorites include the spinach and cheese, spinach artichoke, and guava and brie. My colleagues and I look forward to her monthly visits and are always the first in line because she always sells out!

All I can say is OMG!. I buy her frozen Empanadas and stock pile because they are amazing. They are so flaky, and her fillings amazing. I would love to say the pulled pork is my fave, but the black bean and corn and the spinach artichoke are right behind. Oh wait the loaded potato and the Nutella strawberry. Theu are all sooo delicious.

Joyce’s empanadas are top notch! Ingredients are fresh, full of flavor and she has amazing varieties. Joyce was a pleasure to work with for a catering order and truly cares that her customers are happy. You can see the love and pride that goes into every empanada she makes!

The Atmosphere and entire vibe is so nice and welcoming here. When walking in you are greeted with a lovely lady who was extremely friendly :) Empanadas are all made with love and care, so delicious and a great size!! Extremely flaky on the outside yet the inside is pastry like and the fillings are delicately prepared on the inside. There are so many delicious fillings they offer. 1000/10 recommend this place!!

Nowadays it’s hard to come by a place that excels in food, atmosphere and staff. This place does it all! The food is made with fresh and quality ingredients. It’s quite easy to tell that the owner loves what she does and puts forth her best effort in making sure all who choose to take a bite here will enjoy their food and time. If you’re looking for a place where you feel like you can connect to the food and the people this is the place for you!

I'm Latina and these are by far my favorite empanadas in the neighborhood! The crust is NOT super oily, it's flakey and perfect. The fillings are deliciously seasoned and creatively paired. The owner is super sweet and helpful as well. Have catered with them as well and it's always a hit. Definitely try this place!

Love this place. We get these empanadas from the TaSH farmers market every weekend. They’re excellent hot but we especially like to stock up on the frozen ones, which are great for quick lunches and dinners.
