    This place is a gem. The owners are Argentinian with Lucas as their front person. Great service! The food is through the roof good. They cover beef empanadas from different regions of the world. And they do it well. The flavors are on point They definitely have a special brand of their own. Highly recommended!!

    The empanadas are fantastic. I lived in Miami /South Florida and these are on par or better than any I had there. I like that they are clearly marked so you know what flavor you are eating. Also got a box of 8 to go.

    This is a wonderful spot. The food was amazing. I had the Jamaica and the Mumbai and my wife had the Buenos Aires and Mumbai. I was super impressed with both of mine and my wife loved hers as well. The chimichurri sauce was amazing. We will definitely be back to try other options.

    Easily one of the best spots in town for lunch or carryout! They have so many great flavors, you're guaranteed to find something no matter what you're craving! I'm a particular fan of the Miami and Singapore, though you honestly can't go wrong with any of the choices. Save room for dessert as they have some great dessert empanadas (the banana is my favorite) as well as some traditional cookies. The mate makes a great beverage choice, though they do have sodas as well. Staff is also super friendly, they patiently talked me through the different flavors while I was making my choices (I was ordering for a large group) and even helped me carry everything to the car! I will absolutely be back and can't recommend them enough!
