★★★★☆ 4.0 Wendy DB · Nov 2025

I wait all year for the taste of their special Thanksgiving empanadas... Huge empanadas filled with turkey and stuffing, accompanied by a sweet, not overwhelming, cranberry sauce for dipping. Even though there were no Thanksgiving empanadas ready up front, the sweet woman behind the counter went back to ask the chef if there were any more and came back with a smile, letting me know that I'm in luck... The chef was willing to make some up fresh for me while I waited. The chef came up front asking me how many I wanted. I ordered two plus the cheeseburger empanada. Both flavors were juicy and packed with flavor. The spinach and onion added zest to the cheeseburger and the cranberry jam added a nice sweetness to the savory turkey and stuffing. There were other flavors that I can't wait to go b

Empanadas were so flavorful and freshly made! I tried a few different kinds, and my favorite was definitely the Marry Me Chicken empanada. It was so good! The owner was super nice and welcoming, and I love how each empanada is stamped with their name on the crust (such a creative touch that makes them stand out). You can really tell they put care into both the food and the experience. Cant wait to go back and try their dessert empanadas next. Highly recommend!

When I walked in, I met two very hospitable and kind workers Mike and Woody. I tried their Ropa Vieja empanadas, their Garlic Chicken, and a very interesting Cannoli empanada. They’re all fantastic. They have a great menu with other options as well such as good sandwiches. Will definitely come back

spoke to the owners itself… woody and mike are very nice people along with how their empanadas are! tried their burger empanadas and the flavor was great along paired with their homemade pink sauce!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ruben Velez · Oct 2025

Thank you for not being cheap with the fillings! I tried four different flavors, and I have to say, the original plain beef ones are my favorite. They were packed with hearty beef, simple and satisfying, with no unnecessary veggies or cheese… exactly how I like them. Sometimes all you want is a classic, meaty empanada, and that’s exactly what I got. So happy to have this spot nearby! I’ll definitely be ordering again.
