I have to say that the reviews for this place were spot on and they've truly earned the high rating. The place was clean, the service was nice and prompt, and the food was great.

They have a good variety of empanadas and I went with one buffalo chicken and one beef, baked. The owner said it would take 15 minutes and sure enough, 15 minutes later two nice looking, golden brown empanadas were brought out. Exactly as expected! But what about the taste? This is where the rubber meets the road, right? Excellent! The taste was great and what's more, the empanadas were packed with meat. Some places go cheap with the filling and hardly fill them at all, but not this place. They were simply excellent.

An added bonus, the owner's young son was helping and brought out some of the other baskets for the others in my party. After delivery, he says Thank You and Enjoy. Dad is doing it right!

So in summary, this place is great, worth every high rating, and definitely a place worth frequenting. I know...

I went in with a friend because we were nearby, not knowing what to expect. LET ME TELL YOU we were not hungry but we had a 3 empanada combo (beef, Buffalo chicken and spinach with feta) which came with a side (we got chicken and veggie soup) and a drink (he just got Arizona) and it was CHEFS KISS. So good. I went in for a snack but I fell in love!! This is a hidden paradise and I’m so happy I was craving empanadas. The Buffalo chicken was the best out of the three in my opinion but they were all so beyond delicious. The owner was so nice. My friend and I were having a hard time deciding and he patiently guided us through like,, the whole menu, LOL. I asked the owner what he would recommend and he said everything. He. Was. Not. Joking. Everything was amazing. 15/10 would recommend. They prepare the empanadas fresh unlike many other places and I am hungry just thinking about it. Definitely coming back with an empty stomach next time for that 15...
