    LOVE this place! Their empanadas are big and very full. All the flavors I tried are delicious and there are a lot of options. I especially like the pulled pork and cheese. They even have little letter stamps in the corner like embossed so you know which is which. No more opening them and guessing. My only issue is the tiny sauce that is included is overpriced for extra and you don't get 1 per. It seems like 1 per order. But it's very yummy. Limited seating so it's a take-out place. It's probably best as I'd eat in then take some for go for later and spend too much $ .<br><br>Hmm...I wonder if they'd do well frozen. . Now that's an idea! I'll have to get one of those vacuum pack machines to be sure. No one wants to waste a tasty empanada!

    Delicious empanadas! Bought almost every type to try and thought they were all fantastic. Tried to pick a favorite and couldn't because I genuinely enjoyed them all. Owner was also friendly :) will be back!

    No se quien trabajara los sabados en la manana pero su atencion al cliente es horrible. En su horario menciona que la tienda abre 8:00 am pero al parecer es mentira porque mi esposo fue temprano para comprar unas empanadas, la senorita que trabaja ahi entro y cerro con seguro la puerta a las 8:02 am, luego lo miro con cara poco amigable. No volvere a este lugar y deberian contratar un personal con experiencia en customer service.

    I have never purchased anything from here until today. I tried a beef empanada I must say it was delicious and fresh! My grand baby even said so! The lady was so nice!
