They are available for local pickup or delivery with options of freshly made or frozen (should you decide to buy in bulk or save them for another day). We chose to go with the frozen option so that we could save them in our freezer for dinner the next week. They were so easy to cook in the airfryer and we didn't even have to defrost them! The crust was amazing, super flaky and reminded us of chicken pot pie crust. The filling of each empanada was full of flavor and well seasoned. * Carne a Cuchillo (steak) * Samosa * Aji de Gallina (Peruvian chicken) * The Burrito (mexican rice, beans, avocado, carne asada) * Corned Beef Hash & Eggs * Jamon y Queso (ham & cheese)

I tried a beef empanada which came with three sauces: a salsa, a creamy (almost tartar-like) one, and a green onion oil one. The empanada itself was super oily and greasy- all I tasted was oil and no amount of sauce helped. And it wasn't flaky at all. Not my cup of tea.

When I arrived, the doors were locked, but I rang the bell outside and was let in. My online order wasn't ready so I waited in the lobby where there were a few chairs set up. It was musty inside and slightly uncomfortable on this hot day, but at least the small space was clean and inviting. Even though my order wasn't ready till 10 minutes after my pickup time, staff was warm and friendly in our brief interactions on site, so I wasn't disappointed with the service. I tried four different empanadas from their menu. The mushroom, ham & cheese, and deep fried cheesy empanadas were super tasty, made fresh with quality ingredients, lots of flavor packed into a flaky shell, it's hard to pick a fave among these three. The deep fried beef empanada was my least favorite, the consistency was off, and I'm not even sure it was properly prepared or cooked all the way, as it was slightly cold, barely lukewarm, in the middle. The milder of their two sauces (huacatay) was indeed mild, lacking in any spice at all, it really didn't taste like anything to me. Luckily, the empanadas were good without it. I had a satisfying experience overall.

These were some of the best mimosas I've ever had at an eatery and I've ordered quite a few over the years. The service of the tall gentleman with the beard (I wish I got his name but didn't) was absolutely superb. From recommending food options to ensuring we were well taken care, the service was fantastic. The overall aesthetic was easy on the eyes and tables weren't too close together. There was music that was loud enough to hear but not enough as to drown out conversations. Overall, this place was great!

The service is always impeccable with every server and bartender demonstrating strong knowledge of the menu and the details of each dish and drink. They have such a variety of flavors and cocktails you can't find anywhere else in the area. My favorite dish is the oxtail with a side of their homemade roti, although the roti is traditionally used for the curry, they complement each other so well. Pro tip, ask for their house hot sauce for a little extra kick and sit at the bar for extra fast service!

The best was definitely the hojicha latte, it's roasted matcha with some sort of tea as a base. Very delicious! The horchata was warm at the bottom and cold at the top. Pretty chalky but has a light nutty flavor, I liked it but my boyfriend did not like due to the thickness. It does water down with the ice. Then the strawberry matcha was pretty good, the strawberry chucks makes it hard to enjoy it, regardless it's very good. Very satisfied with all the drinks. Ambiance: 4/5 it's small not a study spot but it's nice and homey. No music and doesn't get busy it seems. Check this place out and help out local shops!
