    I've noticed this place seems pretty busy every morning, so we finally checked it out for ourselves. There's a decent variety of empanadas here: some traditional, some Americanized, most savory, but a few sweet as well. The bacon egg and cheese filling was mostly eggs, but it did still have good bacon flavor. I liked how thin the crust was. I'm looking forward to trying other fillings.

    This place has great empanadas. Service is friendly and good. Coffee drinks are good, but bottled drinks are limited. There is nice outside seating if you enjoy getting outside. Inside is not too congested.

    Phenomenal empanadas. I love empanadas, I make them, I buy them, I dream about them. This place has it all figured out. You can't go wrong with any and I kid you know I felt like I ordered the whole menu. The lomo saltado flavor is good and so is the traditional beef one which has olives. Yum! I'm not sure I took a picture as I just scarfed it down. A perfect breakfast or snack item.

    Enjoyed the chicken cilantro, bacon and egg and lomo saltoda. The breading part was a bit dry. Paid about $7-8 each.
