BEST EMPANADAS WE’VE EVER HAD!!!!
And the kind lady who makes them… see photos lol… super cute and totally fun! She probably didn’t understand us very well, but the second we got there we knew it was gonna rock. Top notch friendly service, more a “diamond in the rough”. We even saw here first thing in the morning setting up, and of all the places we passed, she actually shouted “hello” to us with a smile from inside her shop. That’s actually the reason we went back to try some for lunch… and SOOO glad we did. She came out with a beer after serving everyone and said hello to her locals. What a gal.
Everyone who came in just after us pretty much bought out the place 😂😂😂 they were THAT good! Good luck in your business!
We were here on Thanksgiving day and she was the first place to open.
I just have to mention…
Okay seriously?!? I see bad reviews or “lost a star because they didn’t have every flavor available”… y’all are children LOL go home and make them yourself if you think you can do better. Or don’t go out if you’re REALLY that...

That being said, I went here with a friend, the place had very few people in it, maybe 4 total, all of whom seemed to have been waiting a while. I should've taken that as I sign, but we wanted a snack. We ordered one quesadilla and one alcapurria. Not only was the food very mediocre, but it took an hour and a half to get us our food, we didnt get our food until 4am. Which is an insane amount of time to be waiting for a quesadilla and an alcapurria. Maybe the place is better during the day, but our experience being here late night...

The outside is a huge shared concrete structure, with multiple shop owners, with vibrant colored facades and pricey offerings... however upon walking into this place, you realize you've found the humble gem amongst its bragaddocious sq ft occupiers...
Simple, almost diner-like, and hands down, the meatiest, tastiest, and cheapest empanadas ive had...
Clearly by the flakiness of the crust and the huge portion of filling, this place is well known for their local treats... and makes them well...
$4... a steal... and served piping hot to the touch when...
