I loveeee this place. I’ve been meaning to go for ages now and I’m glad I finally did. They didn’t have many empanadas left by the time I got there but I ordered the Dulce de leche latte and a spinach and feta empanada. I feel that that was one of the best empanadas I have ever had. I will come back earlier when they have more empanadas
super nice employees and good foodalways happy to see a food truck if theirs

My hubby and have been coming here for coffee when our local Starbucks is closed. The trip is worth it. So good and this location, even though it’s small, it gives you a feel good atmosphere.Coffee is delicious!

I've been here before and it wasn't a bad experience but yesterday my wife and I went there an hour before close and they were out of any desirable empanadas. They told her they weren't planning on making any others so she grabbed a banana Nutella one for $6 and we left to find another place to eat. Upon biting into the empanada we realized quickly that this had been sitting out quite a long time and the bananas were mushy and tasted very overripe. It was pretty gross and we ended up throwing it away. I'm pretty irritated because with tip that was $7 that went straight to the trash. I don't recommend going there in the later half of their operational hours or if you don't have money to burn.

This place is fun, and a great idea when it's warm. No indoor seating, but there are tables out front. Some of the best empanadas I've

What a cool joint with colorful art and incredible empanadas. Had the pinto beans, black beans and vegan curry and each tasted amazing with their distinctly flavorful profiles, but if I were pressed for a favorite the vegan curry was my favorite. Also the horchata latte is a must try. Was so pleasantly surprised by this place and can’t wait to keep returning to try the rest.
Service was amazing! So friendly and attentive. Empanadas were delicious I wish I'd picked a few more to try.

Hey Yelpers! This is the place to go for empanadas! Our daughter brought us here for the first time back in October. While flying out this month (December), this was the first place we wanted to eat. My fave is the chicken tinga. They are all good though. They have meat options and some without. I hesitate to call them vegetarian or vegan because I don't know what exactly they put in the dough or the oil. You could ask, though. The service here is great. I will tel you that they only have outdoor seating, so wintertime eating can be chilly. Maybe eat them in the car or take them home. Either way, we'll be back, maybe even on this trip! Enjoy!!!

I've been frequenting this place for years. Love the variety of empanadas available. Prices have increased drastically in the last few years, probably a little more than they should have, but those things happen. What shouldn't happen is finding a large piece of plastic in your food. On my most recent visit, the Ricotta & Spinach empanadas that I ordered had a very large piece of plastic inside it. I assume it came from the packaging of one of the ingredients. As you can see in the photo, it was a large piece of plastic. The preparation seems a bit careless to miss something like this. Not sure I'll be going back anymore.
