What our guests are saying
My granny apple and cranberry empanada was very good the best part was the crust. Sooooooooo good, HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR LOCALS AND TOURISTS. Definitely will return and try other menu options. The ladies communicate very well and make sure you get what you want. 10/10 all around.

Coffee was great! I also got the “Lomo saltado” empanada and it was delicious!!

The empanadas are really good. The dough is soft with a little crunch and there are lots of savory filling options. Lots of hot sauce options too. Make sure to eat the empanadas warmed up. The owner and staff are friendly. A great neighborhood spot for a satisfying snack.
