    Empanadas

    I was given undercooked empanadas, when asked for an exchange or to be made again they brought the same ones but hotter, the dough is thin and it tastes store bought, the chimichurri sucks, not authentic at all! And the server was kinda rude. Their coffee is actually pretty good and their alfajores saved the day, exquisite and authentic, if you want to try a good Argentinian dessert this is a good place for it, but not the food, not at all.

    Chorizo, Black Bean & Egg, Mac & Cheese, Malbec Beef, Bacon, Dates & Goat Cheese, Mushroom, Thyme & Blue Cheese, Chicken Curry

    Ordered ahead for a box of frozen empanadas and a couple of the amazing dessert cookies called Alfajores. The empanadas baked up great and were stamped on the edges so we could identify each one. Started with the Chorizo and egg which was pleasantly spicy and would make a terrific breakfast. Then the mac and cheese which tasted as it should. The Malbec beef was really meaty and my favorite. The bacon, date and goat cheese was less sweet than I was expecting although it was my daughter's favorite. The chicken curry was her second favorite and mine was the mushroom thyme one. They are small enough that the box of 8 was an ample brunch for two. We'd never heard of Alfajores before, but they were the highlight of the meal. A crumbly cookie sandwich with dulce de leche filling and coated in chocolate. We each got a small one and they were so rich we had to eat them in small bites. (Can't imagine eating a large one.) Will definitely be back in the future!

    Mushroom thyme - very good. Super flavor. Light, flaky crust. Malbec Beef is a mouthful of goodness. The Chimichurri sauce is rather mild and delicious. Very good energy.

    Enpanadas were excellent! My favorite is the Ratatouille, I'm sure they're all delicious. Great welcoming service.

We came on a rainy weekend with our parents and it was relatively quiet, in contrast to the other reviews we got lucky in that regard as it wasn't crowded. Street parking was easy to locate with minimal issues. Service was exceptional from the friendly staff to the beautiful playing of each dish, you can tell they take attention to detail seriously. Food and drinks definitely appeased us on the quality of the ingredients and the well seasoned protein dishes. I had their fish tacos and was perfectly satisfied with it as well as the caipirinha that was well crafted by the bartender. For dessert, we opted for the tres leches cake which was not setup how it is traditionally made but we enjoyed the experience.

    I'd like to start by highlighting how great the staff were; we encountered 3 different staff…read moremembers, mainly, two women with short hair, and briefly, a guy named Trey. They were all very nice and welcoming. We chose Comida for its vegan options to accommodate two in our group with dietary requirements. There were just a few options, but enough to make choices. For the vegan dishes, we placed an order for 2 of the Kamoosh De La Choza. For this dish we asked that the sour cream be omitted, and that the vegan queso be substituted in place of the original queso. We also opted to "add a protein", the vegan chorizo. Soon after placing our orders, the waitress returned to let us know that there would be a $17 upcharge for each vegan queso substitution. We all looked at each other a bit dumbfounded. An order for their regular queso is $15, and an order for their vegan queso is $17, so wouldn't it make sense for the upcharge to be $2 to substitute it on the dish?! We, ultimately, decided to order one Kamoosh De La Choza, and an order of just the vegan queso. I've had and made, many a vegan ques., some, with or without cashews. This queso missed the mark for us; a bit odd in flavor and too thick to be called queso. The Kamoosh De La Choza was, otherwise, flavorful with the added vegan chorizo. The rest of our party enjoyed the burrito and enchiladas. The portions here are all large which is a plus.

The "bowls" come in the same cups as a smoothie would come in, but a smoothie only comes in 20oz. I actually appreciate all the different bowl sizes as I only wanted something lighter and I got a small 8oz bowl for one of my kids. My husband and my other kid each ordered a smoothie. You can have unlimited toppings! And there's so many tasty options such as kiwi, spirulina chia pudding, coconut, granola, etc. You could also pay a little more for a fancy topping such as yellow dragonfuit, which is what I got on mine. Sadly the oven wasn't working so no empanada this time.

    Post completion of my run on the Green Bay Trail, I discovered Fons - Plant Based Empanadas while…read morebrowsing alternative restaurants within downtown Winnetka. In spite of me having every intention on visiting Stacked & Folded, it became my choice for eats after I saw the Fons - Plant Based Empanadas sign. It is currently located at Winnetka Walk inside of the space formerly held by an ice cream shop known as Adelheidi's Organics. There are plenty of parking spots available along Lincoln Ave in spite of the space being shared with other restaurants and businesses. Believe it or not, there is always someone leaving this area if you cannot find parking upon arriving in downtown Winnetka. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and up to the counter to see what is offered on their display menu. And I must say that I felt very welcome prior to ordering. I ended up ordering three empanadas after the employee recommended it because of the buy three get one free advertisement. Out of empanada choices like Tinga, Sweet Potato Chilli, Chorizo Cheese & Potato, Smoky Mushrooms, Andean, Margherita, Rope Vieja, Pulled BBQ, Corn, and Lumpia; my four empanadas chosen were a Margherita, Corn, and two Pulled BBQ. I took my time choosing my drink because there were lemonade flavors that I absolutely adored like Mango & Strawberry, Dragonfruit & Pomegranate, Passion Fruit & Hibiscus, Turmeric Pineapple, Watermelon & Kiwi, and Blueberry & Lavender. I ended up ordering the Mango Strawberry because it consisted of two flavors I craved at the time. As my order was being made, the employee and I ended up conversing about running which I am very passionate about. I love that no matter how short the shorts I am wearing are or how sweaty I am, a conversation about running is always struck up whenever I visit businesses or restaurants wearing running clothes. Service: 5 (Great) If you wish to dine-in, there are an acceptable amount of tables and seats in the dining area, including stool seats along the window. During the time of my visit there were not any customers at Fons - Plant Based Empanadas. I imagine that because it is new to the area was the reason for it not having much business compared to others in the area. I told the employee that Fons will do good because of how many individuals are within downtown Winnetka on a regular basis. Atmosphere: 4 (Good) As for my food, I must say that I enjoyed the empanadas. Mmm, I nearly ate all four empanadas before even driving my vehicle out of the area, hehe. Oh, yes honey they were delicious! Out of all flavors, the Margherita, Corn, and the Pulled BBQ, I have to say I enjoyed the Pulled BBQ the most. While eating that particular empanada I had the biggest smirk on my face. Food: 5 (Great) Being that I had a great experience, I would gladly order from Fons - Plant Based Empanadas again when visiting downtown Winnetka, likely after running the Green Bay Trail. Service: 5 | Atmosphere: 4 | Food: 5 ~ Peace. Love. Happiness. ~ Thomas G

The men's bathroom is straight ahead, the women's bathroom is on the right. There's not clear signage so it caused some confusion for my friends.

This was my first time having this dish smothered in the aioli. I prefer the aioli on the side so I can dip my potatoes.
