    Traditional beef
    Keala S.

    We ordered the 3 empanadas with chimichuri. We chose the traditional beef, spinach & cheese, and grilled eggplant. The chimichurri sauce was an additional $2, it had a nice vinegar-forward flavor that complemented all the empanada fillings. An individual empanada is $6. Our only small complaint was that the chimichurri was served in small a paper cup, which tipped over a bit too easily when we dipped. So it would probably be better to pour it into the empanada instead. The service was good. They mentioned it would be a 5-minute wait for our food, but it ended up taking closer to 15 minutes. The food came out hot and crispy, so it was worth it. Also good to mention that there are two tables with umbrellas in front of the food cart to sit but there are plenty of other tables in the area.

    Sarah was really wonderful and super kind. This is my first time here so she made it really easy and giving great recommendations. We did the beef empanada to keep it simple but added chimichurri sauce empanada was filled and super yummy.

    AMAZING!! The beef and chicken were SO good! The owners were so kind!!! The atmosphere was so nice and located right across from Ala moana. A must try!

    The people was nice and sweet with many flavors and more try from we only got a select few just to try out it was so worth it and price is okay $$$ the size of the empanadas is a little small so don't for get to buy more I would say the spinach& cheese is me& my girls fav!!! But that have many more options

    I decided to stop by and try this Argentinian dish. I had it while in Argentina years ago and wanted to remember that flavor. I stopped and spoke to both sister and brother team and their cute dog. I waited a little bit for the oil to get hot enough to fry the empanadas so in the meantime I was able to talk to them. They are from Argentina so excellent for me to have something so originally from the source! I also noticed that they sell dessert with delicious dulce de leche in between. So I grabbed that too! I bought the beef ones after was recommended to have those. They were fried beautifully and it didn't take that long. My wait was pleasantly shortened by petting their friendly dog :) Once I got them, I took them home and ate them at home. The crunch was excellent and it was still warm inside. The flavor was tasty, but maybe a bit less strong than what I tasted in Argentina. I mean, these recipes must be like all recipes where your family makes it one way and another makes it differently. In the end the empanadas are always empanadas but they taste different depending on who makes it. They were tasty but I think I would have preferred a bit more herbal punch. I have to ask again if the outside of empanadas are usually made with masa instead of a flour mixture. This too was different from what I tried. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty nonetheless. The three little desserts were sweet and the dulce de leche from Argentina is so delicious. I had one with coffee but I kept the other two in the refrigerator since my palate doesn't favor too sweet desserts. I wanted to try them and see for myself since I never tried them before. Please go and support this little business for they have all different flavors and I will go back and try more! They are filling and different so it was good to change my regular same foods that I buy at market.

    3 piece with fries

    Absolutely amazing empanadas! We ordered the traditional beef, pork, and spinach and cheese... so much flavor! We've been looking for a great Argentinian empanada spot since we tried it in Vegas! Next time we come we will make the drive just to see Co and get her yummy food

    Sugar cane, fries , 2 beef empanadas, 2 spinach/cheese empanadas, chimichurri sauce

    This little food truck off the side of the road packs a punch with flavor and portion!!!!! We got the combo of 3 empanadas, fries + chimichurri sauce and it was BOMB. It was literally the perfect meal before going to the beach. Julie was very sweet & kind! We also got their sugar cane drink with a splash of lemon & it was delicious!!! If you're on the fence, give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

    Traditional Beef and Cheese & Spinach Empanadas

    No way I'm the first review! I saw the truck in passing one day and wasn't able to go, but today they were in Waialua again! I got the traditional beef and the cheese & spinach empanada. You get 2 for $10. Nice flaky and hot dough. They came paired with what I believe was a chimichurri sauce. I DUNKED the empanadas in it. They were flavorful and really delicious. Lucas was the person who served me and he was very kind! It was very quick service. In all, I enjoyed my first visit and will be there again when I'm in the mood for a snack. Give it a try! *The wagon was located across the street from the baseball field near the intersection.

    Empanadas are a good size, chimichurri sauce is really good, and the fries are the crunchiest and most delicious fries I've ever had. Enjoy!

    My friend and I visited this vendor when we went to the food truck park in Waikiki. My friend was…read moreinstantly drawn to them as they had a grill set up. He boldly went up to the vendor and asked for a sample which I embarrassingly looked away but he was given a piece (hey, closed mouths don't get fed) and he was immediately set on getting something from here. He got the ribs plate, I was $35 and came with salad, rice, and fries. It took a while for it to be ready, like 30 minutes, but I do understand as when it came out, it was literally a GIANT rib piece. He cut the meats off the rib and started nawing on it like a cave man. It was a very enjoyable experience for him, although, it was clear that the meat was a bit chewy and tough. The chewiness and toughness was a big let down for sure, as for all the meat that he cut off from the bone, they were all very hard to eat. HOWEVER, it was very flavorful, so I guess it is the trade-off from the way they smoke/cook it. We also added a chorizo, it was flavorful and juicy, obviously much easier to eat. The fries were good, some pieces soaked up the meat flavor which was yum. The salad was underneath the meat and got sooo greasy I couldn't eat it, the tomatoes were good though. Overall, I feel like the ribs plate was super worth it. However, you just have to be ready to put your teeth and jaw through a bit of a battle.

    The steak is really tasty. I had the plate and the completo sandwich.

While the flavour was there, the day we got them, it was quite tough to cut and rather chewy which was disappointing. A lot went to waste. Don't forget to add your choice of side sauces on the table in front of the truck! All 3 are excellent. Service is quick. The wait in the courtyard is pleasant, specially if there is a breeze and the sun is a little lower, quite comfortable.

    Coming to the KCC Farmer's market in late January, I was surprised to find the layout changed so…read moredramatically. Besides several familiar sellers being gone, the number of vendors seemed to be less than I remember. Bringing a friend to this market, I wasn't sure whether he'd been here and I walked off to use the restroom which is now the one on campus. As I returned, my friend had wandered to this stand and generously shared what he bought with our other travel companion and me. He bought the Empanada especial which was crab (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=kWEPRzOWs2EtocPcEAaSLw), real crab meat, potato, smoked Gouda cheese, mayo, onion; it came with a delicious green chimichurri sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=WS6EnU062gvtZnct4DPPog) that we dipped them in. Not expecting this treat, I first took a bite and it was tasty, not knowing the flavors and ingredients. We toasted our landing here (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=72&select=fpX7EDFfjUJTUwsveh5Elw) and started dipping it in the provided chimichurri sauce. Before you knew it, it was gone. Since we were walking the rest of the market, I didn't stop here and only got details about this business and what I ate from taking a photo of their stand (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=72&select=xnYnbxbbydTYYSmFCRZ-mg). I'll study this a little more before my next visit and we'll see what the special is when we return.

    Doesn't disappoint! Went back to find them on this trip and it's so ono! Went with a medley and…read morethey were all on point. Staff still great and the market is a perfect setting to enjoy.
