What a treat. Very cute little Argentinian bakery offering baked goodies and hot food. I got a choripan sandwich and two types of empanadas.

Use the landmark " La Casa Del Pueblo" as your landmark. And his store is the last on the strip nearest Lady Bug drive thru coffee.
I've never had Argentinian pastries so I decided to grab a few items. I enjoyed the cookies that are similar to a buttery shortbread. He fills it with a "pan de leche" which would be similar to a caramel. The breads are sweet breads....
