I came here for the first time because my friend recommended me this place for the empanadas. We ordered 5 empanadas de trigo de Pollo y uno de carne. The empanadas were filled with chicken and I got to say.. it's the time that an empanada was filled with meat! It was great but I just felt that it was missing that "hit" of seasoning. My other friend who is also his first time here preferred the beef over the chicken because it was missing the seasoning. Other than...

Not so impressed. This place is not horrible, but not great either. I bought fries from here before. They were thick and nicely fried, but they were flavorless. Also, they have no more indoor searing, which is horrible for business, and I have no idea why they do that. The fries took 13+ minutes (kind of unreasonable from past experience). Not the best place i’ve ever been to. I would probably not go again.

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.
