These Freakin Empanadas and More

I wait all year for the taste of their special Thanksgiving empanadas... Huge empanadas filled with turkey and stuffing, accompanied by a sweet, not overwhelming, cranberry sauce for dipping. Even though there were no Thanksgiving empanadas ready up front, the sweet woman behind the counter went back to ask the chef if there were any more and came back with a smile, letting me know that I'm in luck... The chef was willing to make some up fresh for me while I waited. The chef came up front asking me how many I wanted. I ordered two plus the cheeseburger empanada. Both flavors were juicy and packed with flavor. The spinach and onion added zest to the cheeseburger and the cranberry jam added a nice sweetness to the savory turkey and stuffing. There were other flavors that I can't wait to go back and try, including the ropa vieja and the general tso's. The space is cozy and festive for the holidays.

Thank you for not being cheap with the fillings! I tried four different flavors, and I have to say, the original plain beef ones are my favorite. They were packed with hearty beef, simple and satisfying, with no unnecessary veggies or cheese… exactly how I like them. Sometimes all you want is a classic, meaty empanada, and that’s exactly what I got. So happy to have this spot nearby! I’ll definitely be ordering again.

These empanadas were good and flavorful, definitely not one of those small empanadas people have been using lately. These empanadas are full sized like how they used to be back in the day. The workers I there are friendly and considerate. I'll definitely be going back. Extremely good quality and amazing service.

Empanadas were so flavorful and freshly made! I tried a few different kinds, and my favorite was definitely the Marry Me Chicken empanada. It was so good! The owner was super nice and welcoming, and I love how each empanada is stamped with their name on the crust (such a creative touch that makes them stand out). You can really tell they put care into both the food and the experience. Cant wait to go back and try their dessert empanadas next. Highly recommend!

Awesome fries and Cuban sandwich. Good selection of empanadas. Highly recommend.

Had their empanadas at ACE Wrestling shows. It's so great there's a storefront now! Empanadas are made fresh to order. They do not skimp on the fillings as other places do. My go to is the Cuban Sandwich empanada with their sauce. A must go for sure if you live in the surrounding area!
