This place has the best Empanadas in the South Bay. Their beef empanadas is most popular and also my favorite. It has olives, raisins, onions, and other things. So it's more flavorful and fun to eat than the ones at other restaurants. Other empanadas are good too. Try them out for yourselves. You won't be sappointed.I hope that the restaurant will continue to use better ingredients and make the empanadas taste good. Inflation is here. Whatever you(restaurant) do, raise the prices if you must, but do not cut back on the ingredients!

I love the empanadas ! So tasty! Friendly Staff

We catered from here for my Tia's Celebration of Life. We are Chilean and usually make these a few times a year, but for this event was too much work. We ordered 75 empanadas, half beef and half chicken cilantro. They were a hit. The beef were very similar to how we make them at home. Everyone wanted to know if I made them. LOL. They were so good and individually wrapped so everyone just grabbed their own. We even ordered more to send home with our family that came from Hawaii. The staff was really nice. The empanadas are filling.

Fast service. We got an apple and cranberry empanadas with Carmel frappes. Both came out right.

The empanadas are great. Good place for coffee and a hearty breakfast. Great music playing in the background.

Best empanadas in San Jose. It's hard to find a place that has good Drip coffee, but this place has the best out there. Owner and staff are really friendly too.

Been coming here for some time now. #1 Empanada place in the area. Would recommend to anyone— Chorizo is my go-to!

Great food! The empanadas are amazing. Hot and flavorful with an amazing crust! An empanada and a coffee from here are a great way to start your day!

1st time here, breakfast & coffee was great, my 1st try of Empanadas as well. Coming from UK the flavours were great, would come back again. Thanks.

Your service is terrible and your coffee is even worse. I only tried the cold brew but it's awful. There's literally no one in line I had to wait for 10 minutes for your cashier to even acknowledge me. Thanks for the great experience today guys you're really something special.
