What Our Customers Are Saying

“This place is hands down the best empanada place in the DMV. I'm quite an empanadas connoisseur and have tried quite many places. If only it weren't almost an hour drive for me, I'd be having these empanadas quite often throughout the week.”

— Thant A

“The empanadas were amazing! Super flavorful, perfectly crispy, and surprisingly filling (two had me set for the morning). To drink I got an horchata with oat milk. It was creamy, smooth, and seriously next-level delicious.”
