I was curious about their tea, but there was a winter combo at the time that caught my eye more. I got their hot chocolate, traditional beef empanada, and bulgogi BBQ empanada. It was my first time having such a flaky empanada. The dough is nice and tasted good, I like that it's baked instead of fried, which I'm more used to. Out of both the empanadas I got, I would recommend the traditional beef because of the unexpected raisins that worked pretty well with the beef filling. The bulgogi was alright. The meat itself was a bit dry but the BBQ sauce helped with that. The hot chocolate was milky and great for the cold weather. Next to ordering, there's a fridge for bottled drinks and chilled empanadas. At the time, they only had beef and bulgogi, but I think it's cool that you can bake them at home at a later time. Since Sweet Octopus and Empanada House are in the same building, they seem to share seating space and the bathroom, which is on the lower floor. Food comes out fast and makes for a nice quick bite. There's one empanada that's for vegetarians, though I'm not sure if they don't use eggs for the dough, so vegans should check on that. Sweet empanadas sound good, and if I were to come again, I'd prob get one to try.

While my friend was ordering food at Sweet Octopus, I went upstairs to get some empanadas because…read morethat's what I was craving and had seen many good reviews about this place's. I ordered the goulash and traditional beef which came up to be around $10, and didn't take too long for it to be prepared. I brought my food downstairs, and there's plenty of tables to sit both upstairs and down. The flavor was flavoring!!!!! It was hot, fresh, and perfectly paired with the salsa they gave me!! I highly recommend if you're craving empanadas, but if not they also have other menu items like drinks and smoothie bowls. If you don't want those, Sweet Octopus is downstairs with their menu items!

My companion had a chicken and cheese empanada and a beef empanada.

We will be back to try other empanada flavors!

We got seated in the patio where we ordered a couple drinks and bites to share. We told the server it was my husband's birthday and they took the time to do a little celebration for him which we really appreciated. All the bites we got to share were delicious and hot fresh! Drinks are fairly priced and I just love their patio atmosphere. They have a DJ on the weekends and they play cool music! I will definitely be back to try the empanadas!

I was greeted with a smile and placed an order for an empanada combo. I tried beef, cheese and chicken empanadas. The beef was my favorite. But the others were delicious and my family loved them.

Shooting straight to the deets. See the end for the good remarks…read more Controversial review here. I read all the 1st page reviews calling this place phenomenal, amazing, the best.... It was the exact OPPOSITE! I ordered the lechon with comes with Black beans, rice and plantains. The rice - gummy gelatinous exterior, not fresh. The beans - The slightest of flavor and a 2 out of 5. They were not watery which only good thing about it. The plantains - The only item that was fantastic. It had a burnt slight crisp on the outside and were actually the best plantains I've ever had. I had to mix little bites of them to be able to eat any of the food. The lechon - in the photos they look really good. Even the photo I took did not look the same as in person as it shows on camera. Pale in color (old not fresh), dry and horrible flavor if I can even call it that. What a huge disappointment overall. The good: The girl cashier was nice and helpful when we asked if the dirty table could be cleaned before we sat. It's a cute interior to grab a quick bite. Music was good. They make fresh empanadas to order.

I will be back and hope that they continue to grow.

It's very white / modern inside like a doctor's office... This isn't the kinda cafe that smells like their baked goods inside with comfy lounge chairs. There's zero prices listed on the pastries which I didn't like but from what I recall Mini tarts $3.30 Mousse $4-5 Paleta $5 which is dulce de leche mixed with meringue pieces and coated in white chocolate We got a lemon tart and a paleta. We didn't care for the paleta.... It didn't taste like anything but VERY sweet. Not my cup of tea The lemon tart had more flavor but I wished it was more tart to topping. However, I thought the prices were kinda high. I mean, sweet hut has tarts maybe the same size or slightly bigger than are only $2.50 ish. It's in a shopping center so plenty of parking Overall, they were ok but a bit more expensive than I wanted to pay & too sweet for me but I'm glad we tried
