Small place with a great flavor. Very well made Argentinian Empanadas. They are small but delicious. You'll have to buy several of them to feel satisfied. We asked for different types. Beef one was the best. Go there on time to have a place to seat inside, specially important during cold weather.

My first time here and I ordered a small cappuccino with almond milk and a shrimp empanada. the cappuccino was very good, but the empanada wasn't good at all. you could tell they used frozen shrimp and not fresh ones because it was chewy and hard. I probably won't order it again.

Decided to try this place for empanadas, as I love to eat them quite regularly. I thought the cafe was great for the value. I got a beef argentina (buenos aires), a cuban, a shrimp, and a guava & cheese for dessert. They were about $3 to $4 per empanada, which I thought was reasonable. I really liked the beef (especially the green olive inside) as well as the cuban (although cuban is a little bit drier inside than the others), but my favorite was the shrimp. It was super savory and surprisingly juicy! I didn't care much for the guava & cheese, as I thought it was too sweet. I just had one bite and didn't finish it. However, I do not often like very sweet stuffs, so it's more of a personal preference. But be warned that the dessert empanadas are likely quite sweet. I also liked that the

First time here and went with ham & cheese. Could not believe how good it was. Made a second trip and stocked up on three ham & cheese plus three chicken. Wanted regular chicken but got spicy on that one. Third and fourth visits okay. Fifth visit at checkout tapped my card not realizing the tip given was 20%. Believe that is optional if eating at location but was hoping to get that error corrected and give tip of choice and was not given that option. When going there I do takeout. Enjoyed coming here but not so much now.
