Doordash order!Did not go into the shop so I can not comment on it. But the order that we made through the Doordash was fulfilled very quickly!The empanadas was really good. I love the sweet coconut empanada and the breakfast bacon empanada. Those are definitely my two favorite ones.The other ones also good though! They were still nice and warm when we got them.Very recommended! Thank you.

I have been coming here since they opened years ago. Empanadas are great. But now they have raised the price so much its not worth coming here anymore.

This is only the second or third time we bought empanadas from here. This time we used a Groupon coupon. It was for thirty $ but had an extra discount so the whole 9 empanadas and a small side of deviled egg and potato salad cost us about $19. The salad was good enough to buy again. I don't recommend the spinach empanada: too much of the same thing. The veggie one was good with at least 5 or 6 items. My wife liked the four cheese one.The empanadas were very fresh and hot and the salad was fresh and cold.The weird thing about the Groupon was that it was actually to get a plastic gift card and not good to purchase food. So you go into the store and exchange the Groupon for a gift card which they won't let you use until the next day= two trips!They do let you make phone orders without paying in advance. I just said that I was using a gift card and all was fine.

Empanadas were excellent, awesome quick dinner fix. Especially their dessert empanadas!

Walking in I was hesitant because the empanadas are displayed in a glass warmer. So I was assuming they were not going to taste fresh. However, the empanadas were delicious! We got got chile Verde, chicken florentine, chocolate creme brulee and coconut cream and they were all tasty! They did not disappoint! We are glad we checked this place out.

The empanadas are great. Pricy and small but great.

12 noon and they said they were not going to make any more food. Due to this strange situation our selection of items was rather limited. We decided to eat somewhere else. The employee seemed upset and frustrated. Customer service skills were lacking.

Excellent food!! First time here and would definitely recommend.

A quick and easy empanada shop that is tasty whether you are in the mood for one or a dozen. They have multiple choices of basic empanadas and specialty empanadas, as well as dessert empanadas. Don’t forget the sauce too! I recommend the chimichurri sauce.You can take a dozen home with you for your family, or even get ready to bake ones. Not too picky? Grab some “yesterday” empanadas for more than half off.

Food was good but pricey for what you get which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The staff were really friendly and helpful with explaining the menu.
