Amazing!!! Just had my first 3 empanadas, Quito Beef, Chicken and Spinach. Each better than the last. Perfectly seasoned, crunchy dough and the perfect serving size. They also fill each to the max!Paola was super sweet to chat with and the service was quick. If you can eat in, enjoy the awesome view. Looking forward to many more visits.

The empanadas were good but not worth the price for how small they are, (they didn’t specify which empanada was which, they put them both on the same plate) it did come with green salsa which was good. But they charge $1.50 for red salsa in place of NOT having any hot sauce.The breakfast items come with fruit OR potatoes but when ordering the host didn’t ask or let us know it automatically defaulted to fruit but when we got out food, one plate came out with potatoes & the other came with fruit…

What a fantastic experience! The lady who served us was incredibly kind and friendly, and the atmosphere of the place felt so welcoming, just like their menu. While we only sampled the empanadas, they had an enticing variety of other dishes. We're definitely planning to return to savor the Chimichurri sandwich and indulge in the beef, spinach & mushroom empanadas again - these were our absolute favorites today. We highly recommend this spot; plus, there's plenty of parking, and the outdoor view is simply breathtaking.

I wanted to find somewhere that had nice outdoor seating to grab a snack. It was a pleasure dinning at Nina’s cafe. I enjoyed a chicken empanada, a beef empanada, and some sweet potato fries. All were delicious. The women working were very sweet! And it had a nice seating area along the water.

Stumbled upon this place when we visited Edgewater Plaza for a peaceful morning walk by the lake. The restaurant was small and cozy, but we opted for outdoor seating for lake views. It was such a peaceful brunch time!We didn’t know this was an Ecuadorean restaurant and didn’t read the reviews beforehand, so we just chose the most basic for brunch, omelette and pancakes. Those were very good actually.We had great time, so we’ll come back again. Next time, we will have their specialties.Parking: Free plaza parking lotsKid-friendliness: Kid’s high chairs and plastic utensils and menusWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair entrance and roadside

Very friendly place! Empanadas were tasty and hot. I want to try the sandwiches and brunch items next. I will be back. I think Nina's sold empanadas at the Farmer's Market???

I've had a few meals at Nina's cafe and the food was amazing. Top notch quality (fresh) empanadas! I highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends.
Extremely slow service. Forgot a large part of our order. Had to ask for water three times. Food is interesting but nothing amazing. Steak sandwich had too much bread but not enough steak. Steak was good though.

So glad to be able to enjoy some Ecuadorian food in the bay area. Empanadas were excellent. The weekend menu is also very delicious.
