    I can't say enough good things about this place. They don't skimp on the filling and the quality of the food is great. My toddler eats this up in a hot minute. They are the perfect toddler food especially in a pinch. They sell them frozen by the box and we always keep some on hand. If you haven't tried it you're missing out! Take your kids there they will love it

    Stopped in for a quick bite with the family and friends before I looked at Christmas lights. Fresh & tasty empanadas+ the rice & fries were excellent additions as well. Enjoy. Happy New Year 2026

    My wife and I have gone into the store multiple times, but their food truck came to our apartment complex tonight. Not all empanadas are created equal. These particular ones are always delicious. I had the #1 (Original Chicken) and the #7 (Steak and Cheese). The spinach and cheese and the chicken florentine empanadas are great also. It is great for a quick bite or a meal at any time of the day. This is always worth a repeat visit.

    I love the new restaurant! These are the best empanadas I've ever tasted! I was so excited for the restaurant to open at the new location and they didn't disappoint! Beautifully decorated interior and super friendly staff! I recommend the pot roast and the chicken florentine ones. Delicious!

    I recently visited an empanada store and was impressed with the freshness and flavor of their empanadas. The dough was perfectly cooked and had a nice texture, and the fillings were delicious and generously portioned. My friend and I tried several different options, and they were all fantastic. The store had a good selection of empanadas and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, I highly recommend this empanada store for anyone looking for a delicious meal.
