Participate NowWe arrived at around six, had a short wait and were served quickly and easily, though tightly packed in with the table next to us. But I enjoyed three different and very tasty empanadas, dessert and a nicecafe con leche. The food was well prepared, delivered quickly and with a smile. I will go back.
Great and inventive empanadas. Very loud on street outside.
Definitely nothing special and absolutely not worth the terrible service. We waited over 30 minutes to get seated at a table barely fit for 2 although there were 3 of us that was squeezed so tightly next to both tables on either side we had to move the entire table just to get out. Waited 30 minutes before a waiter took our order, and hour for food. For the 2 hours we spent JUST waiting we could have had a 5 course meal at a 5 star restaurant!
Very greasy but the corn ground beef empanada was excellent with green sauce
Had three kinds of empanadas and an arepa. Pork was good, beef was okay. Very good empanada, but nothing amazing. Good place to try once or twice.
