The owner is half Argentinian and has all sorts of empanadas to pick from. I ended up getting their beef, spring roll, birria, spinach, chicken Alfredo, and apple pie empanadas. All the empanadas had a bready, slightly crisp, yummy fried flavored shell. Usually I don’t like beef empanadas cuz I think they’re spiced weird but this one was actually good, savory, and comforting. The spring roll one was eh. Large pieces of crunchy cabbage. Would’ve liked them to be shredded a bit finer. The birria one was filled with that yummy shredded beef that was a bit dry but the side of consume saved it. The spinach one sounds like it would be boring but BOY WAS IT NOT. Super flavorful and herby in the best way. The chicken Alfredo one was also really good and filled with those big chunks of savory chick
Picked this spot off Metro as a new place to try for dinner. Loved all the empanadas I had, especially the beef, birria, and chorizo breakfast ones, as well as the beer I had. It seemed to me like this is a well known local spot, as many people were stopping by for dinner or snacks. I also liked the little flowery ornaments at the tables. Looking forward to trying their sandwiches during another visit in this area.
Had an opportunity to check out this place for different types of empanadas. It’s a cute little deli shop with a dozen or so parking spaces. There is parking along the side street. Or see at the counter with different combinations of empanada’s filling. We ordered the Birria & queso, the house special beef, which had embroiled egg and potatoes and the spicy beef. They were so good especially the Birria n queso along with the salsas and chimichuri sauce. They were so consumé dipping sauce was a bit too lite compared to other places. Plenty of tables to dine in but it takes about 20 minutes or so to get the food. Call ahead to save time. Go order some and support local business.
Super satisfying Argentinian food that is packed with flavor and value. The empanadas are perfectly made, hot and crispy and filled with tender meat. The sandwiches are generous with the meat and delicious. You order at the counter and the friendly staff bring the food out. Limited parking lot but there is nearby street parking.
We ventured out to this quaint little restaurant in the Pasadena area to get some Argentinian food. I was very satisfied with the steak and Milanese sandwiches, they reminded me of my trip to Argentina. The empanadas were also filling and flavorful, I overall had a great experience and I would definitely come back.
