this is an empanada mama TO GO which we did not realize until we arrived, but luckily there were a handful of counter seats (about 8 total). we ordered and received the food quickly, the avocado salad and the empanadas were wonderful. the empanadas come with both sauce options automatically to go and were extremely fresh. we love empanada mama and always recommend!! they had about 5 vegetarian empanada options and I believe only 1 or 2 vegan. the greek spinach pie was FABULOUS...

I was here before it was nice will never come back. I put the money in the female hand to pay for my order I'm holding my hand out for her to put my change in my hand she refused and set it on the counter. And walked away. I felt very uncomfortable with that so food great. But this would be my last time coming here.

Great comfort food. I used to order all the time but why remove side of rice and increase prices on dishes that are mostly eaten over lunch. If the store doesn’t offer delivery it really makes no sense to pay $17 for a very small lentil soup on Ubereats. Sad
