“ Vegitarian! I love the egg plant sandwich. 8.5 out of 10 would eat again once a week , could use more seating because more ppl should eat there. But the cashier was so polite, and helpful willing to offer suggestions. I'd come back. For sure ”
“ Food was delicious! I visited when I was having a low blood sugar episode, and the empanadas hit the spot! I got three different vegan options, and all were delicious spicy carrot sauce. Totally new experience with the sauce, but it's great! I also snagged a tasty vegan cookie and some rice to take home. The rice was very good, delicious Spanish seasoning. My cookie was horchata flavored, which is not a flavor I have often. I really liked that they have a selection of foods made the previous days for cheaper. Also, it's super great how late they are open. I will be back for more! ”
“ Crispy, light, delicious empanadas you'll keep going back for. A cozy and intimate restaurant with a charming, warm, and personal atmosphere. It might be tiny, but it's brimming with flavor and character. Think of it as a hidden gem! ”
“ This place is amazing!!!! Starting with the owner, he was so personable and welcoming. His ingredients are high quality and the food is delicious. The empanadas are amazing and the tres leche is delicious. Prices are more than reasonable! 10/10. If you are thinking of going, do it! You will not be disappointed! ”
“ Great food... taste just like something you eat in Buenos Aires. ”
“ I had the Argentine Chili LOCRO! This savory dish is a fave delicious and super mild kick with slow roasted heavenly morsels. So very good. ”
“ Tasty, tasty, tasty is all I can say!!! We will come back here again for their addictive Argentine's chili and their various empanadas (roasted lambs: yummy. spinach: yummy. no complaints here) ”
“ Very straight-forward menu usually including 2-3 vegan options daily. They sell day-old empanadas and desserts at a discounted price but everything else is cooked fresh daily. There's multiple sauces to add to your order to customize the flavor a little more. It's simplistic but always good and I find myself popping in from time to time. It's counter service and the establishment has limited seating inside and two tables outside so it's best to order and take your food to go. Make sure to get the empanada reheated if you want it hot. ”
