Beef and cheese empanadas are amazing! We usually get them at Central Market for lunch on Saturday. Today they were out so we made a trip to the restaurant. So glad we did! Everyone that works there is kind and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Lancaster!

I love that you guys are apart of the farmers market in Carlisle. Me and my son go every weekend for food and your empanadas are amazing. Highly recommend!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food is decent if you go early. Usually runs out of most things toward end of day. It's hit and miss. Empanadas are good though amd lots of vegetarian ones to choose from.
Cuban rice , the beans were uncooked and the chicken fricassee was cold.
Hope they get better as it's got great potential.
