Truly some of the best empanadas I have ever had! Owner was very friendly and provided great recommendations. We went with the beef and jalapeño/ bacon empanadas which were both delicious and filling. Will have to be back to try the pastas!

I was stopped nearby getting my tire patched and I needed a place to take a work meeting. All the shops were closing but this place took me in, gave me empanadas and water, and let me take my ridiculous hour long meeting. Martín makes such delicious empanadas and although I didn’t get to try the pasta, they looked just as delicious as the empanadas. I will be forever grateful to Martín and his delicious empanadas for housing me for an hour+!
