I came in a couple of weeks ago for the first time on a Monday so we got to enjoy the Monday special prices. It was about 5 pm and it did appear some items were sold out so I wasn't able to try what I originally wanted but I did have a pizza and dulce de leche empanada. I loved the pizza but I did think the dulce de leche was quite dry and not as flavorful and warm as I would've hoped. Overall considering the price I do think it was a very cute little place!

Good empanadas, just consider the waiting factor as the empanadas are not ready to eat, they have to be cooked! But overall good!

I’m so happy I found this place with empanadas! I’ll be moving to El Paso soon, and I love empanadas—so I’ve found my go-to spot. The place is bright and beautiful, and I love the ambiance. Ordering was easy, and although there was about a 15-minute wait for my empanadas, it was worth it.
I ordered the chicken, pepperoni, and cheese empanada—and it was heaven. The empanada was perfectly crunchy yet soft, and not greasy, unlike what you find at other places. It was just right. The chicken was seasoned so well—super flavorful.
My only complaint is that they don’t have ketchup as an option for dressing. They do have a delicious house dressing, but I’m a girl who loves her empanadas with ketchup!

Been here twice the empanadas are good
But the guy at the Mesa store is soooooo unwelcoming. He makes this face like he doesn’t want to be bothered. Doesn’t give you options but pick what ever is on display. Customer service is essential to keep a customer coming back.

I ordered through Uber Eats, and my order arrived incomplete. When I called the restaurant to resolve the issue, the response was indifferent and unhelpful. I expected a simple apology or a bit of customer care, but I got none. Disappointing experience overall. Food is delicious though.

I tried the chicken and the corn & pepper empanadas and they were both quite good, especially with the chimichurri dip. The amount was sufficient for a light lunch (for me). But, I do wish the empanadas were a bit bigger for the price - I don't think I can really recommend this place to someone like my brother because he has a huge appetite and would not be satisfied with the portion to price ratio.
I had also wanted to try a couple other flavors, but I didn't want to wait around for them so I just got what was already made. I do want to go again when I have more time and try a spinach empanada, and also one of the dessert ones.
The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and tidy.

The beef and cheese empanada is delicious and it was our favorite of the 3 we tried but they’re all delicious! We had the Nutella, Nutella & banana, and the beef & cheese. They were so good. Staff is not friendly. It’s hot inside the restaurant and the AC was set to 83 so we ate our food inside our car with AC. There is no music so it’s awkward and quiet in there. We waited 25 minutes for our 4 empanadas so it was not a quick bite. They didn’t have all the options available.
Vegetarian options: They have vegan options but some of them weren’t available when we went.
Parking: Lots of parking
Kid-friendliness: Options for kids and people of all ages
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking, entrance, and tables.
