    This is really a 4.5 star review but I'll round up because, I guess, because I'm dope. I don't get out here (Riverside) too often so when I do, I try to hit all the top spots and this place kept popping up for their empanadas. The empanadas, as you can see, are a bit smaller but are completely filled with tasty ingredients. The crust is on the thinner side so these are just the right sized hand pies if you want to eat 4 to 6 in one sitting. We went with getting at least 25 so that we could get the discount. I also got suckered into buying a $5 container of chimichurri sauce. My thought is, if I'm getting over 25 empanadas, I should be getting as much chimichurri as I need, agreed?? Not quite, I only got two small containers so I bought extra. Anyway, I loved the mushroom, the Caprese (bursting with flavor - more like a quiche), the Spinach, the Sausage, the Banana Nutella was a 10 star dessert quiche and the apple pie rocked. I liked the chicken and beef for being so flavorful and meaty. There really wasn't a bad empanada in the entire bunch. And - the chimichurri sauce was good too. :)

    Great selection, courteous staff, and absolutely delicious!

    We ended up here on a whim, and I'm so glad we stopped. Absolutely delicious Perfect place to get lunch after a day at the zoo.

    Always so good!!! My favorites are spinach, corn, caprese, and apple pie empanadas. Pro tip: order ahead and ask for freshly baked.

    Well, I do enjoy this place and I do recommend it. I will see how I feel. It's a bit over priced for simple empanadas.

    We had a pleasant dinner on a Sunday evening out on the patio. Luckily it's covered so the little…read morebit of rain we had did not bother us. They had a very nice bread server with four individual oval French loaves with very tasty butter. We tried the provoleta with peppers because we like that a lot in Argentina, but this was nothing like it and I guess that was to be expected. There they have a bunch of drier version of provolone and they grill it directly on the grill grates and it doesn't really melt too much. This tasted like standard provolone cheese and it was melted in a bowl. It was tasty, and unfortunately they probably can't get the Argentinian version of the cheese they would need to do it correctly. Our friends got the beef brochette with asparagus and the outside skirt steak and both were fabulous. Well seasoned and grilled and tender. My husband and I got the 2 pound stuffed fillet! It supposedly had ham in the filling but I couldn't taste it or see it anywhere. Unfortunately it had a really strongly flavored sauce along with the portobello mushrooms. We expected something with fewer herbs, which kind of overpowered the beef. It's a shame because the way they described it on the menu is not what came out. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't what we were expecting and unfortunately, the beef flavor was hard to discern because of all of the herbs in the dark brown sauce. We brought our own wine and they didn't even have a corkage fee, which was amazing! We saw other plates go by with copious amounts of tomatoes and onions on salads and the filet mignon platter, it seemed like it was three or four pieces of fillet it had to be nearly a pound for one serving. The prices are pretty steep for the beef and they do charge $10 for sharing, however it might be worth just getting one of the larger plates and spending the 10 bucks to share as opposed to getting an entrée each and taking home lots of food which we did.

    We love a BYOB with no corkage fee. Also, warm table bread!! Pretty easy to call in and get a res…read morefor a Sunday night. The warm table bread and butter was pretty good so it was an effort to keep from eating too much and ruining our appetite. We split a chicken empanada to start which was really good, especially with the chimichurri sauce. For mains, we split the parillada para dos - a large meat platter meant for two. It was came with a little house salad and was a super good deal with all the meat they gave you (we ended up with lunch the next day, too!) The best part of the dish was the short ribs. Super soft and sort of fatty tasting, but not in a gross way, in a really yummy way. We also really liked the chorizo sausage. The flap tastes good, but was a little tougher than the other meat. The beef sweetbread and blood sausage were different, a little bit of an odd texture, but still good.

To start we got the provoleta which is basically melted cheese with red peppers. Perfect for cheese lovers but not recommended for those who are lactose intolerant. Pairs well with meat. We shared the Parillada which is meant for 2 people. Tons of meat that is served on a mini grill. Comes with 5 different types of protein to try plus chimichurri and lemons. For sides, we got the papas fritas and the spinach mashed potatoes (highly recommend). The spinach mash doesn't even taste like spinach but it's a beautiful green color. To end the meal, we got a traditional Argentinean cookie called alfajores. It was pretty good. It was served cold, as if they had just took it out of the fridge. I think it would've tasted better at room temp cause it was hard to bite.
