"This is a nice bakery with a friendly staff. My top picks would be their ham and cheese croissant sandwich, it has a slightly sweet flakiness and their Chicken Milanese sandwich. Their cookies are a dollar. Where can you buy a regular sized cookie for a dollar? Overall, worth a visit."
"Tasty empanadas from a cute little shop on Washington. The chicken and mushroom was my favorite by far, but the four that I tried were all good."
"They have a variety of empanadas but they are not your average fried ones. These are like airfried and dough it's very light. They have a big variety and also sell Jamaican beef patties. They have a little seating area for eating setting quick but other then that not a sit down spot ots a quick grab and go place.they also have pastries and coffee."
"OVERALL SCORE AT END OF REVIEW!!!! Came in today to try some empanadas! Boy was I not let down. This might have been some of the tastiest empanadas I’ve ever had. Super authentic food. The dough they use to make the empanadas is super thin and delicious. It reminds me of a lighter pretzel type of dough thin enough to have a crunch. The Philly cheesesteak empanada is super good. If you are going in make sure you ask them to hear it up. We tried a bunch of things from Philly steak to spicy chicken. Got a cheese danish/croissant, a chocolate croissant. I didn’t have a picture of the tres leches cake but let me tell this is hands down the best cake I’ve ever had. If you can get one sweet thing here it is def the tres leches. This place is awesome if you want something small. The staff is friendly she was really nice and helped us out. She recommended some coffee and it was really good. Paired perfectly with the empanada and tres leches. If you are ever in the area I would def stop here, it’s def worth the bang for you buck. We got 8 pastries and 10 empanadas ( I didn’t count exactly) but it came out to 89$ pretty good for a budget delicious meal. Overall I give this spot a 8.6 on the Empanada scale. Totally worth the time! Osca Lobsta Out!"
"I’m not Argentinian but I have been to Argentina and these empanadas pale in comparison. Since I’m rating these according to how I feel they taste, I would give them a 3/5. That being said, I think these empanadas are crafted for a less traditional and more American palette. Thus, if I were to rate them with solely an American palette, I’d probably give them a 5/5. I ordered the ham and cheese, Buenos Aires, beef, and spicy chorizo empanadas. The regular empanadas are almost $4 and the special empanadas are almost $5. These prices are very high for empanadas but if you’re in the mood for empanadas, I’m not sure you can get much better in this area. The empanadas come with a hot sauce and a chimichurri sauce. The hot sauce was delicious and had good heat. The chimichurri was bright, tangy, and flavorful. The ham and cheese was not very good as the mozzarella cheese had no bite to it. The cheese was melty but not in a good way. It disappeared almost immediately after hitting your tongue. It kind of just melted without imparting any flavor. The ham was cut up into small cubes and didn’t taste like much. The Buenos Aires was strange. The sun dried tomatoes didn’t go well with the ham and cheese. The beef empanada was made with ground beef and went well with both the hot sauce and chimichurri. The spicy chorizo was delicious and was appropriately spicy. I would get the beef and spicy chorizo empanadas again. Inside, there is a small counter space to stand or sit and eat your warmed empanadas. They accept credit cards as well as cash and they have an atm inside."
