Degan Walters: have the warm jamon y queso
Garino Grande: The beef empanadas were the best. I tried pollo, jamon y queso, and carne, but the carne was definitely my favorite. Almost as good as my mother-in-law makes (she's from Buenos Aires).
Emily Doolittle: I knew I wanted the Jamon y Queso. I asked which other I should get and I don't like olives. They recommended the Champinones. Perfect combination!
