La Reinita Empanadas y Productos — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I used to have a good impression of this place. However, today, my friend and I had an awful experience. The girl working (kind of blonde) was constantly complaining out loud that there were customers, that people sitting outside only brought more people. She told us there was a delay (we understood and still decide to wait without a complaint), but she proceeded to not take our orders, which of course would not make sense, cause if you tell us there's a delay, at least take our orders so the delay is not even bigger. Then she proceeded to tell us that we should wait to take the order, and then told us to go have a walk around and come back in 30 minutes, STILL without even asking what we needed. Is a shame cause the food is kinda decent, but the employee....meeh. Those attitudes made us leave, and honestly... don't...

The empanadas were delicious! We picked some up for takeout. I had 1 espinaca and 1 queso y cebolla. Cheesy and full of flavor. My husband had the canard and pollo picante. He also loved his. They have a picante sauce and chimichurri that went well with all of them. The empanadas were a healthy portion and two for each of us was great for a lunch. They have a deal of €20 for 6, so we have two more left over for later! Popped them in the oven at 180 for about 8 minutes and they were perfect. Yum!...

I have been a client of La Reinita for some years now, and I love it! I had some empanadas in the place and I also go for Argentinean supplies, and in both cases, I have been always treated nicely by the staff and by the owners. In terms of products there is a wide range of Argentinean items, empanadas, sandwiches de milanesas, facturas, harina, dulce de leche, vinos, licores, alfajores, galletitas, yerbas… all you can imagine. It is the place to go for...
