We were really hoping to enjoy this place based on the reviews. Unfortunately, the hostess was so incredibly rude and unprofessional that she ruined our entire dining experience, and we ended up leaving before we could even order. There were multiple open tables when we came in (at least 5 that we counted), yet she told us she didn't have anything available (for a party of 3) so we would either have to sit at the bar or wait until something opened up, which we were told would be 10-15 minutes. We would have been perfectly fine pulling up a stool to one of the smaller tables, but she never even offered that as an option. We waited patiently by the door. However, when we asked if there was somewhere else we could wait so we weren't blocking the entryway, she snapped at us as if we were bothering her. We tried to give her the benefit of the doubt in case she was having a bad day, but she just had a miserable attitude and acted like she didn't even want to be there. At least two more tables opened up during this time, but she made no attempt to clear and clean them quickly or efficiently so we could be seated. Instead, she would take a few items off the tables, then disappear to the back, but never actually cleaned them. Please keep in mind that this was well after the lunch rush (2:30pm) and no other customers came in the whole time we were there. After she finally cleared one of the tables, she barked at us to, "Sit over there!" As we were starting to take our seats, she hastily wiped down the table with a wet towel and then slammed the menus down on top. I had to peel our menus off because the table was sopping wet, and because I didn't want our clothes to get soaked as well, I asked her if we could get a dry towel for the table. A simple request, or so I thought, but instead of apologizing or offering to get a towel or actually dry the table, she snapped at us again and yelled, "It'll dry," before storming away. I can honestly say that I have NEVER in my life experienced someone so rude and unprofessional, especially in the restaurant industry. I would never tolerate an employee treating a customer in this manner. My family had a terrible experience here solely because of your hostess. If this is the kind of people you hire to represent your business, we will definitely not...

I was taken here by a friend. I actually wanted to get one of my friends to start seeing some places in the metro area Milwaukee and one of our other friends suggested this place. I was open to anything and who doesn't love a good empanada? I seriously had no idea of how good this could be. My expectations were definitely a lot lower than what was delivered.

I couldn't believe all the different choices of empanadas. More importantly, the quality of each one was amazing. The presentation on top of that was fun as well. I like how they put the different letters on each empanada so you know what flavor each one is. The spicy shrimp one had a little bit of a kick to it and it was really good. The Thai empanada was hands-down awesome. I knew it would be. We tried a few other ones like the Cuban, and some other ones. My favorites were shrimp and Thai. They had three sauces for all of them. It may not sound like a lot of choices, but honestly, it was more than enough. I really didn't even feel the need to use a ton of sauces because the empanadas were really good to begin with. I wouldn't want any more choices for sauces because it would have been confusing at that point.

We bought the platters of empanadas and saved a little bit of money that way since we got a platter. I thought I would eat more than I did but these were really filling. So we ended up taking some home. I am most definitely coming back to this place. I couldn't believe how many choices there were and the quality of the food was so good. We only ordered empanadas. I'm sure the other food is good, but honestly, I wouldn't waste my time ordering anything else. I would stick to the empanada. But then again, I tend to be one of those people that orders what I know I like. Go here. It's a...
