    Spinach empanada
    Analucia B.

    Everything about this place is great. I went around 7:30pm and so the empanadas were freshly made, which took about 10 minutes but definitely worth the short wait. Cute little store, no indoor seating. Inexpensive and very delicious! All empanadas are labeled so you'll always know what you're eating when you get a variety, no more guessing! Spinach 8/10 Is a creamy blend of spinach, melted cheese, and gently sautéed onions. The texture is spot on: the spinach is soft but not mushy, the cheese rich without being overpowering, and the onions add just the right hint of sweetness. Then there's the boiled egg--pleasantly unexpected! It doesn't make the empanada taste like egg but it definitely adds to the experience. Malbec 10/10 My favorite! Juicy meat empanada made with pieces of beef rather than ground beef. Extremely tender almost like a stew that just melts in your mouth. The pastry soaks up the seasoning and juices of the meat without it being soggy. Spicy beef 8/10 I can't handle too much spicy but I do tend to push my limits. The spicy beef really isn't too spicy but definitely has a kick to it. Nutella and brownie 10/10 If you like chocolate YOU WILL LOVE THESE! They are definitely filling but soooo good! So Chocolatey and gooey, definitely a must get!

    Let me tell you, if you ever travel to Miami do you yourself a favor and stop by here! The Empanada's have a variety of flavors and fillings. I ordered a beef, chicken, sweet corn, pulled pork, and Oreo. That's right, they have dessert empanadas! I was skeptical about the Oreo flavor but it was surprisingly delicious! They're located in Key Biscane and the store itself doesn't have a seating area, just a heads up. The lady at the front was helpful and helped me pick the flavors. I wish we had a location in the DMV, maybe I can convince them to open one!

    Love this empanada place!! It has become my go-to. They have such a nice selection of different flavors and what I love about them is that the outside part of the dough tells you which is which. The chicken has "chicken" written on the outside, the caprese has "caprese" written in the outside and so on (I'll attach a picture). The filling to dough ratio is good and I love that I haven't experienced an empty empanada. As for flavors, my favorite is the Malbec beef. It has nice chunks of beef, mushrooms, and sauce inside the empanada. Quite the opposite of a dry empanada I'm sure we've all experienced before. The spicy chicken and ham&cheese is also good, but there are many other flavors worth trying as well. The shop is very cute and the person out front is always nice.

    I absolutely LOVE empanadas but a good and savory one is really hard to find...until now...! Location -- It's inside a small strip of businesses so it can be a bit hard to find. The location is clean and has a good visual appeal. One can see the kitchen with its staffers which is a plus. Jose took my order and he was not only friendly but helpful...truly a delight...! Downfall -- orders need to be done via "to go" since there's nowhere to sit. All the empanadas are packed with their own savory mouth-watering flavors, made with good quality ingredients and are a bit larger and have more filling than its average size counterparts. There's no mistaken what flavor one's getting since the flavor/name is "stamped" on the empanadas to avoid confusion. They're Simply delicious...! Average price about $3.50/$4.00. Empanadas Ordered -- *Ham and Cheese -- The ham was flavorful and hearty; the cheeses, Mozzarella - Provolone - Swiss, complemented the ham with its delicious gooey-ness *Spicy Chicken -- Simply delicious...!!! It reminded me of the chicken empanadas I used to eat from my abuela. The chicken was flavorful and abundant and it was richly spiced (not spicy as the name claims)...worth trying...! *Pepperoni and Cheese -- Just like eating a well-portioned slice of pizza just on an empanada. Rich tasting pepperoni and wonderfully melted mozzarella. *The Knife Cut Beef -- The diced onions and green peppers added a delicious delectable touch and one can taste the flavorful diced beef in every bite. *Nutella & Brownie -- Simply decadent and all sorts of savory and rich deliciousness *Guayaba & Cheese -- A great yumminess take on the pastelito All of these are great to have by themselves and easily shareable by the bunch...definitely worth the drive to Key Biscayne and I can't with for the Coral Gables location to open soon....! Bon appétit...!

    Came here last minute during most recent trip to Biscayne. We found this place on our road to the state park. This may be the best empanada place we've ever tried. The service was quick; they already had multiple empanadas on display ready to go. The spicy beef empanada was my favorite. The guava cream empanada was delicious ! Highly recommend coming here.

    This place has an amazing selection of empanadas. We ordered some savory ones that sounded good. For the most part, the empanadas were on the saltier side so it was hard to enjoy fully, but the diversity of empanadas was impressive!

    The smallest, cutest empanadas I have ever seen. They had an overwhelming amount of flavor combinations to choose from too. Sweet or savory, there is sure to be at least a few you want to try! Since they are so small, indulging in a few doesn't even make you feel that guilty. Like a bakery, the empanadas in at least 15 different flavors are all displayed in the case. The other brilliant thing thing they do is brand the flavor name right on the empanada! Therefore, if you are like me and go crazy, you will still be able to keep track of which one you are trying from the first to the sixth (don't judge).

    Chicken Empanada
    Abigail P.

    The empanada were very good! We tried the chicken, beef, 4 cheeses, and barbecue pork with mango.The empanada was a little salted. The service was okay. The price was about 4 dollars per empanada.

    Friendly staff. Some of the best empanadas I've ever had. I had the spicy beef and spicy chicken empanada. They were stuffed with meat! You definitely get your money's worth. Clean shop, with tables to sit and enjoy just outside of the shop.

Service was a bit off putting. I was standing at the register and the workers were talking amongst themselves non chalantly. Their coffee though merited enough for a second visit. This time they were actively baking and bringing out pastries. We enjoyed their coffee and had some pastries. This time a lady took my order and she was super friendly. Croissant: perfect. Flaky. Soft. Almond chocolate croissant: my bf had this one. It had chocolate and some kind of almond filling inside. He loved it! I'm pretty vanilla so I thought it was okay. Like I said, I'll be happy to support this business when we come and visit biscayne. See you soon!

What a great opportunity to get to know a small business with a huge heart! Allegra was on top of every single detail & everyone involved in making this event a pleasure left me anxious for the next one! So pleasantly surprised with the bites provided but the selection of wines & sommeliers at hand was SO impressive. The true testament to this event was the amount of times we heard Allegra's name being mentioned over & over again by the wine reps at each table... "Allegra's own private picks" or "Allegra's top choice" or "Allegra's favorite". This is how you know a small business will continue to succeed - when those that are there representing their own brands know the owners first hand! Beautiful staff, beautiful day, beautiful set up! Just beautiful. And thank you for having Aldo there representing Gin No 3 & Macallan. What a special treat to taste such an amazing whiskey like the Macallan Litha. I am a Spring/Summer Gin Gal & a Fall/Winter Bourbon Gal so these two specially selected spirits were perfection! Hoping to be back for their winter event!

Curated by the very knowledgeable owner and sommelier Alegra. I don't personally know her but her staff's adoration of her only ingratiated the event that much more. It sounded like she really took time and care into curating this lovely event. Overall there were 16 tables with anywhere from 4-10+ wines to try from all around the world. I think it's so cute how they also have a scavenger hunt and loved that the first table was a spin-the-bottle. Very creative. The special prices for the wines were also a great touch along with tags describing the wines as, "old school," or "delicioso." The selection of wines in the store was just as impressive as the ones being showcased for the event. All in all, this is a great establishment that also holds wonderful events.
