The pastes were incredible! I loved the potatoes and meat and the chorizo with potatoes. The guava with cheese was absolutely delicious! I recommend getting an atole and trying something from the coffee bar. Super cute little spot with a lot of personality. I’ll definitely be back.

Came here recently for a quick brunch and it was delicious. Coffee was decent but the real stars were the emapanads! You'll have the option of savory or sweet but either way they'll be super flaky and freshly made!

I saw "Empanadas" on the sign as I drove by yesterday. I found the sign and the restaurant again today and stopped in. This is a charming little place with great food. Service was great too. Stop by yourself. You'll be happy you did! Free street parking.

Delicious! The flakiest beautifully baked pastries. Tried the lot... not a bad one in the bunch. Surprised by the flavors. Can't go wrong.

Seriously good empanadas. I tried the arroz con leche, champinones con queso, and chicken tinga. They heat up these tasty pockets for you to serve freshly warmed. I highly recommend all three. The crust was buttery and flaky and they were densely filled and flavorful. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was laid back and homey. I will have to come back for a latte and the arroz con Leche and chicken tinga for sure!

I absolutely love this place! I got agua de sandia, and it's seriously so delicious. Do yourself a favor and order it! I also ordered potato & meat, green mole chicken, and tinga empanadas. They were all so flavorful, but the tinga by far stole the show. Reasonably priced and ADORABLE inside. The younger lady working the counter is beyond kind and welcoming. It was my first time trying empanadas, and she made my experience so easy.

Was driving by and saw this food truck. I pulled over googled the name and next thing , I’m standing in line for a meat and potato empanada, and my friend got a chorizo and potato . Reviews were spot on. They were DELISH . The puff pastry awesome and after we ate in the car we had to get out and dust the lovely crispy flakey dough of our clothes. We live on the other side of the city for their restaurant , but now we are sure it’s worth the trip. For now , Tuesday evening is Empanada night !!!!!
