These empanadas are baller, and served by an attentive, efficient staff. We did love all we had, including the beef and shrimp. I love how they branded each so that we knew the flavors. That is such a classy touch, and appreciated. Perfect for buying for a party where they could be eaten instantly or warmed up.

You appreciate the Argentina touches inside and out (murals on the exterior, Lionel Messi photo, etc.). We ordered three empanadas, and they were served to us quickly and piping hot. We were offered one of three types of sauce and we chose chimichurri sauce, though the empanadas were so tasty that they did not really need any enhancement. Each empanada is branded with the name of the filling, for easy identification. My favorite was the beef empanada, and I'd say my lovely wife favored the shrimp empanada. The one with spinach filling was also very good.

Alcapurrias were yummy, too!! The place was very sweetly decorated with some beautiful photos from La Isla and an awesome mural map of PR.

I love all the colorful art and decor. Comfortable seating and nice wooden tables. They sell fun merchandise too. Mofongo is my boyfriend's favorite and he loves it here. The chopped cheese sandwich is fantastic and my personal favorite. The Alcapurria fritters are a great appetizer to share. They have fabulous cocktails too. We enjoy the mojito and piña colada. I also really like the non alcoholic Parcha, which is passion fruit juice. Friendly and attentive service. Great value and high quality food. I look forward to trying the entire menu and beverage list!

But our CM, Kate, recommended this place and we had to stop in. First thing you need to know is that they are a cash-only operation. This was a lucky day for me, because I actually had cash on me (a rare occurrence). I did have enough to get a corn and cheese empanada, and it's true--they are fantastic. I don't know if I'd get anything else from here because it was so delicious, but they had at least half a dozen other flavors. There are a couple counter-height chairs here, and there' also an ATM if you do need to grab some cash. No parking; it's street only.
