    Yes, Need to wait for him to bake it so it will be nice and hot. It's kind of cold waiting outside. This place is just the front with chairs outside. Small little compact kitchen. Was delicious. By the time waiting for the bus, I already scuffed it down. It's like an appetizer to get my stomach happy.

    Classic Pino

    Very delicious taste and very small place in town and not a high price. Recommend the classic empanadas

    Had to go for my empanada fix! Love the vegan ones! Absolutely delicious! Just like in Chile!

    My bro and I loving this Hidden Gem.

    Best Enpanadas I've had. Tried all between three people and certainly a hidden Gem. Definitely coming back and a go to place. Tried another spot over at Valencia but this one is for sure a better taste. The cook/ Owner a young person was very social and courteous.

    We were in the area to pickup some baked goods and saw the sign for Chilean empanadas so we stopped in. We've both enjoyed a variety of other empanadas, but never Chilean specifically so yes.. of course! We had the most delightful chat with the friendly owner and her lovely assistant and we took home three empanadas to try, as well as a couple alfajores. We warmed up the Gol Al Merkan, Jamon y Queso and Classic Pino empanadas in the oven for about 10 min and they were all terrific. Excellent flavors and plenty of filling. Hard to pick a favorite cause we liked them all. The alfajores were slightly different than what we have had before, with more of a thin wafer cookie than the usual, but plenty of delicious filling plus chewy coconut flakes rolled on the outside. The crispness of the cookie was a nice contrast to the sweet, creamy filling. Definitely stop in if you have the opportunity. Tasty treats here and really nice folks working.

    As a Chileno, damn do these take me back an I truly enjoyed these empanadas. It's a pleasure to eat these, because many places are making fooffy version of empanadas. These definitely feel homemade! Now what you need to understand, is I grew up with these empanadas and the rest of my countries delicious cuisine. Stick with the beef empanadas. Don't get me wrong, the chicken was good, but the beef is where it's at. If I could change one thing... Please, please, please add a little more Pino inside the empanada and make them just a little bigger. With that said, I'm sure it's probably doesn't make economic sense. I'll be back to try their other empanadas, minus the vegan ones (stop it already!). I tried calling my order in twice in the past and no one ever answered. Get your ass out of the car and walk up to the entrance and get you some goodness. They currently have outside dining.

    Stopped here for an empanada on a whim. Was very pleasantly surprised by the great food and a nice discussion with the owner/chef. My one thought was that it could have used some salt, but overall very good.

    Stumbled upon unexpectedly, and I will most certainly be coming back On a Saturday afternoon I caught the echos of Latin jazz down the street and had to go check it out. There was a live band playing and it was absolutely wonderful. I decided to grab a coffee and hang out. I hadn't intended to stay for as long as I did, but between the music was hard to leave. I bought an empanada to take home. I've had a lot of bad empanadas, but was pleasantly surprised again to find that the bag hadn't gotten all greasy over the 20 minute drive home. I opened it up, took a bite, and fully enjoyed. They serve beer and wine as well. Next time I'll be back with the intention of staying to enjoy my meal. Hopefully the music will be back - if not the same, just as good.

    The gourmet empanada at $7.5 is dry and disgusting.  She refused to give a glass of water to a customer & lectured me on the freshness.

    I discovered this place walking by. I used to living life in chile so I was happy to try a fresh empanada. I was surprised to see a "gourmet empanada" at $7.5 so after ordering I casually asked what it is called "gourmet". The store manager got upset and started lecturing me on the freshness of her empanadas... a few minutes ago, a customer asked for water and she apparently got upset as well. The empanada I had was almost only doe, nothing inside and yes it was dry. Never again.

The Mocha was on point but I have to say the scone had a remarkable moist and almost airy texture with plenty of blueberries. 5/5 on the scone, 4.5/5 on the mocha. The servers were all friendly and seemed to enjoy being here as much as I was! I would love to come back again anytime I am nearby, especially midweek when there aren't any lines!
