Really tasty empanadas and a large selection of sweet and savoury. My favourite is the nutella empanada. Make sure to ask for bake not fried. All the flavour without the grease!

If you are in the area this is a must. Baked empanadas are the way to go. Baked on the spot, guaranteed always fresh.

Amazing empanadas! Plenty of vegetarian options. Try the Greek, Black bean & cheese, and the Fig & Cheese with Caramel sauce!!

I love that they have so many corn flour empanadas. The sausage and beef&potato were great. Love the price point!

I can't hate this place. I should, but when you're drunk AF and need something to eat, 8 empenadas sounds like a good idea. Your stomach will disagree the next day, but damn it's worth it.

Chicken Fajita is always good and the sangria was better than it had any right to be. Pieces if apple was the way to go.

I was expecting s more home cooked taste from their menu but the generic versions can pass. They should add beer to the menu for a easier grab in customer flow.
