Good Argentinian empanadas, albeit a bit on the pricy side especially as they do not even come with a sauce or chimichurri. Not super authentic but I'm still glad they opened up as not too many places around here have empanadas. I have mixed feelings on this place overall though. The staff are nice and friendly but seem to be a bit absent-minded. Have ordered multiple times online for delivery through a third part service and also directly on the phone for pickup.

There were many options. We got the Classic Beef, Three Cheese Onion, Spinach, Che, and Chicken Mushroom. These came with chimichurri sauce, both spicy and not spicy. The empanadas were small (half the size of what I got at Pikalo) and a bit pricey for the size. All of them tasted pretty average. I don't think there was a standout for me...
