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 chicken. Each one paired really well with their made in house chimmichuri which added a nice little bright herbyness to everything. Pro tip add some of the hot sauce with their chimmichur on an empanada and MNM. For dessert we had their apple pie empanada which had a cinnamon sugar coating that made it taste like a churro and it was filled with their tender, caramelized apples. Overall this place is pretty good.

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.

The food was delicious! We ordered empanadas de spicy beans, spinach and cheese, carne asada, and pizza. My 2 year old really loves the pizza one. The sauces are also a great addition to the empanadas. We also got a Tri tip sandwich. It is a bit small in here so seating can be a bit tricky to get and the restrooms are outside the building and very small. Parking is also a bit tricky because there is no actual assigned parking for this location.

First time trying empanadas, they were very good!! But I felt like they are “American Stlye” not really like traditional empanadas.

I have been coming here for well over a year now. These flavors are unlike anything I’ve ever had. I bought myself a jar of their chimichurri because it’s just that good and there’s a lot of different dishes I’d love to try it with. They are amazing at what they do. And I will never enjoy other empanadas thanks to these guys

The empanadas were ok. The best was the spinach, the worse the chicken with no flavor and smelled like boiled chicken, meat was ok. The milanesa sandwich was also ok. With Argentinian family and being in Argentina many times, I was not very impressed. Service was fast.
