Great customer service. Empanadas are very tasty. I don’t recommend the spinach empanada though, mine barely had any filling. I used to love the alfajores but probably won’t buy anymore. They used to put the filling on the entire cookie but it’s only put on the edge, plus the price went up. They used to have a daily special for empanadas but they don’t anymore. The lady said she was giving me the sale price but after I thought about it, it wasn’t really a sale because she ended up owing me an empanada. Not sure what happened to this place but It’s still the best alfajores in town. If I’m in the area I’d stop by but only if I felt like splurging.

I love your empanadas! I saw your cart at West End Farmers Marker a month ago. Every Saturday I've had off since then I go and pick up some of the BEST empanadas! Thank you for making delicious food and I hope more customers find you soon!

Had few various of the empanadas and it wasn't bad but it wasn't a wow factor. They were mostly dry and slightly bland and the outer had no crisp to it. The crust was a bit soggy but the inside was soft. Also had their churros and it had great crunch on the outside and soft in the inside, but didn't have much flavor and a lot oily compared to other places. Overall, I will give it a 6.7

Just came here for the first time and got 3 empanadas, 2 beef and 1 cheese and they were DELICIOUS! Claudia was very sweet and prompt with her service. She even told me a little bit about the history of the shop. Everything is made from scratch and you can tell that a lot of love is poured into these recipes. Gracias Claudia! I’ll definitely be coming back!

I tried the Breakfast Empanada, the RVA Empanada, and the Sweet Guava Empanada and was blown away! The Breakfast Empanada was packed with a combination of delicious flavors and the chorizo really brought the dish together. The RVA Empanada was so juicy and flavorful, and the guajillo chili sauce gave it the perfect kick. The Sweet Guava Empanada was my favorite of the bunch-it was the perfect blend of sweet and savory, and the guava flavor really made it special. I also enjoyed the Kale & Apple Salad-the tangy flavor of the dressing balanced the crisp crunch of the vegetables perfectly. Finally, the Alfajores were incredible! The dulce de leche and coconut combined in the shortbread to create a mouthwatering dessert. To round out the meal, I tried the Papaya smoothie made with almond milk and it was refreshing and creamy. Overall, My Empanada offers delicious Latin-inspired dishes and desserts that are sure to please!

We were very happy to find this gem in our neighborhood! Splurged and got a little bit of everything. They were all good! Our favorites were the RVA, Chorizo, Spinach Ricotta, and the Quinoa Vegetable. Dessert versions also were a plus! They have the option of takeout or frozen for home prep. Will definitely be visiting again in the near future. ?
