There is a lot of varieties to choose from, and we personally liked the corn empanadas more than the wheat ones, though it seems like there are more flavors available for wheat empanadas. We would suggest cheese-based fillings or a filling with more moisture. There are a few let-downs: yucca fries had a thick breading and very little yucca inside (they are not thick-cuts of cassava: just mashed yucca) . The breading soaked up a lot of oil that made them less tasty even with the...

Excellent empanadas. Highly recommend.
I ordered 6 empanadas. costs about $18.00, fair price for a great lunch. Green sauce & pink sauce are fantastic. I suggest to pay $1.00 more for 4x extra sauces, it is worth it.
about a 10 minute wait, which is fine.
note: food is "to go" only.

My other friend who is also his first time here preferred the beef over the chicken because it was missing the seasoning. Other than...
