This was my third visit to this restaurant, and the first in the evening. We were celebrating a birthday so we opted for the $59.95 three course dinner with wine, for each of us and it did not disappoint. This restaurant is severely under-appreciated, so you should go try it out!

The food was good, the wine was okay. We got two different flights and we liked 2 The empanada dough was delicious, we tried 3 different kinds, meat with olives, corn and spinach.

What a lovely place! Took my mom for dinner and we both were just delighted! Flight of amazing wines. Variety of empanadas. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. A gem!

Cocktails- mimosa flight was made with juice concentrate which didn't taste fresh. The empanadas were good, as was the chimichurri cheese dip. Butternut squash soup was delicious. Overall good but next time will stick to wine.

Trish

Delicious empanadas and specialty cocktails. We shared an amazing salad too. Kim, our waitress, was exceptional. Fun vibes and excellent everything.

Empanadas, salad and a very nice cocktail . Our server was Kim and she was terrific. Try this place out for a very nice change of pace. We will be going back to try their brunch.

I've traveled to Buenos Aires many times and I must say these empanadas are spot on! Every one that I have tried has been delicious. One in our group had the salad and said it was very good. Makes me want to go back to Argentina!

Opentable Diner

Such a wonderful experience, the service is exceptional with great recommendations to meet our various pallets likes and dislikes. We tried various different empanadas, and the empanada of the day was the biggest hit. Everyone loved the pork and apple empanada in addition to the chorizo empanada and the sweet corn empanada. Highly recommend.

This was our first time here and we loved it! We had four empanadas, a salad and wine. Starting with the salad, it was so fresh and the dressing light and flavorful. The empanadas were delicious, and the flavors a little new to me, but savory. My wife also loved the food and pointed out, correctly, that the wine complemented the food well. It was quiet and peaceful inside. We tend to eat early dinner. Our server was friendly, helpful and also did not hurry us at all. We will definitely be going back.

LaChona is a classic Empanadas bar directly out of Buenas Aires. The wines are form their own vineyard in Mendoza are represent the quality one would expect from the region.

I came here to celebrate my birthday and was pleased with the array of empanadas. From the outside, it may be easy to overlook. But, I encourage everyone to go and eat the empanadas. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the choripan. The empanadas are top notch so stick to those.

The food in general was underseasoned for my tastes. I had the arepas instead of the empanadas and they were lacking in flavor.

Peggy

Very nice little restaurant. The food was well prepared and fresh and the service was good.

Service was great although it took a while to get our drinks. False advertising concerning gluten free empanadas. Not empanadas at all but corn cakes. My non gluten empanadas did not have enough filling for the amount of dough and the dough was dry. The chicken my husband ordered was dry and resembled a TV dinner chicken. Wine selection great. We will not return.
