These empanadas are delicious and the plus is that they have such a variety. We ordered the variety box with rice and beans and I could eat that everyday with all that flavor. Philly cheese steak, shrimp, beef, chicken, pasteleon and Buffalo chicken and that is just a few. I hope the reviews on this place get better because I see them around for awhile.

Great place for Empanada, many varieties to choose from, my favorite is Pasteleon Empanada and you can't miss with Beef & Cheese or Chicken & Cheese! Be prepared to wait a few, service sometimes although friendly can be a bit slow. Definitely would come back for more Empanada or order ahead not to wait so long!

I have been ordering for a long time, always good empanadas. But whoever was managing tonight messed up my order and the empanadas were not fresh, meat felt like rubber. Had to throw away half of them.
