The hype is real! I had a wonderful first visit with my uncle this afternoon to the downtown location. The interior is so lovely and inviting, as soon as we walked in we were kindly welcomed and made our way to the front counter which displays all available empanadas with ingredients listed.
I love this little place! The empanadas are homemade and there are over a dozen types to choose from. A nice atmosphere with cafe tables. Great for take-away, a quick lunch on the Walking Mall, or even a romantic casual dinner outdoors with a bottle of Argentine wine! The owners and staff are super friendly and helpful! Love it!
Ive spent a lot of time in South America (Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay). These are THE BEST Empanadas I've ever had. The fresh fruit juices are amazing too. My wife is from Guatemala. She said the fruit juice reminded her of home.
Yum, yum and Yum!!! I had been searching for homemade empanadas cooked with fresh ingredients and I can't believe I found them. Oh, me.....oh, my. There were 10 or 12 different kinds and I couldn't make up my mind so I just got one of each so I would know which were my faves. Empanada party!!! If you don't live close by.....sorry.
We got six different empanadas. I can’t pick a favorite. They were all amazingly good. Can’t wait to try the rest! The caramelized onion and cheese was incredible. My husband loved the spicy beef. Delivery was fast and friendly.
Highly recommend this place. The empanadas are absolutely delicious. My husband and I keep going back for more. Not only is the food fantastic, the restaurant is sparkling clean and the staff are delightful.
We were only in town for one night, driving home to NC. Stopped here for a small bite because actually there were not many restaurants open. Wow!! What a great place! We are now in love with empanadas! Fantastic music, food and wine. Highly recommend!!
These things are amazing. You have to try them, I came in without having any idea what I was getting myself into and I was blown away. I will definitely be back. I had the chicken, brisket, and spicy beef. I have to say the brisket was my favorite but they were all very good and the dipping sauce is fantastic. 10/10 must try these
Delicious! Sometimes when I have an empanada it's so overwhelmingly salty that I cant taste anything else (this is just my opinion; if they're supposed to be really salty I apologize). Not the case here. I also appreciate the amount of cheese in the corn and onion empanadas, respectively. The chimichurri is nice and zippy, and the meat (we had the smoked chicken and the brisket ones) has a nice heat to it without being overwhelming. Would totally eat here again
I haven't had an empanada in 10 years, and it definitely brings back those comfort food vibes. I would highly recommend stopping by to scratch that snack food itch, or even get a couple dozen for your next post-covid party! Fantastic savory combinations in a delightfully flaky package!
