Absolutely delicious!…read more I've been to EDA once before and have been craving their empanadas ever since! Much like last time, there seemed to be only one person running the shop, the place was sparkling clean (including the restrooms), and there was ample seating in the dining area. The music was a little too loud, especially so in the bathroom, but otherwise the café was so nice. The menu is chock-full of delicious sounding dishes and boba drinks, but I opted for two of their ready to go empanadas. I had the Beef & Cheese, and the Chicken Salteña Empanadas. Both were super yummy and neither the beef nor chicken was dry inside. The fillings were savory, the Beef & Cheese amazingly creamy, and the Chicken Salteña a good blend of spices. The raisins in the Salteña did throw me off for a moment as I didn't think they worked all too well with the rest of the texture of the filling, but it didn't detract too much from the empanada. The dipping sauce that they came with was so tasty and flavorful as well! I was only able to finish half of each empanada because they were so big, but the server was kind enough to give me extra sauce with my to-go box. It added another layer of tastiness to the experience! EDA is a little out of the way for me so I'm not able to go as much as I'd like, but I know I'll be stopping in to snag an empanada or a boba tea when I'm in the area. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!

There are so many empanada choices here. I neglected to take a copy or photo of the menu. I don't think there's a bad empanada on the menu. The owners are super sweet and so engaging. I loved visiting with them both. They hooked me up with a to go bag and boxes so that when I cooked them from frozen, I was able to transfer them to a box and bag and take them to the Cancer center. Everyone raved about them. They loved them and said they were the most delicious empanadas they had ever had. They are super big in size and tasty fillings. If you're in the area, give them a go. Of course, I also had to purchase an empanada for myself as well as a dessert empanada and when I got home, I split them both with the hubs and we were both very happy and content. I will definitely return.

Rude service, if you don't like people, don't serve people…read more The older gentleman is kind and pleasant, the older lady is rude like she hates customers. I bought 3 bags of items. I went back and said it was missed and she told me I must have eaten it. I told her there wasn't enough time to have eaten it. I walked out and went back in. She said I must have given it to someone to eat. I couldn't show any proof it was it wasn't charged bc she printed a receipt that was blank with no transaction information. I paid for a replacement and handed her a $20, she said "smaller bill" and tossed the $20 on the counter. Is it really this necessary to be so rude? I won't go back. It's closed to where I live but the service of other bakeries is superior than this shop.

My mom and I had a great brunch at Box St All Day with her ordering the smoked Gouda pasta salad with salmon and me ordering the Steak with frites. Both meals were great, however my steak was a bit too rare when I ordered medium-rare and the eggs had the whites a bit undercooked as well. The mimosa I ordered was stronger than I expected but it still tasted nice. The highlight of the meal was the Berry Me Softly cocktail which the bartender recommended to me! Delicious and not too tart.

Thank you Jando CM for the incredible Yelp recommendation …read more My fave place this year! It was also rated top 10 bakery Cafe according to USA today . Came on a Saturday at 2pm for some tortas . I can see why it has such good reviews.Service was so friendly and helpful. No lie .That was the best lentil soup I have ever had and I don't even like lentils.It was served perfectly hot with small bits of onion and carrots with a delicious not overly salted broth. I would drive another 3 hours just for that soup! The grilled chicken torta was sooo good . It had smashed avocado lime mash with greens and Swiss cheese. Minus the mayo for me and I could not stop eating it. The Mexican sourdough was so good that we went back and ordered 4 rolls to take home to Htown with us. Lightly toasted on outside with a soft center. Perfection! Cappuccino came out steaming hot with cute decorated heart motif. Good balance of milk and expresso. Easy to get to location with plenty of parking.Line moved fast and food came out quickly. Will absolutely return when back in town.

I discovered this place by accident at their downtown location and immediately fell in love with…read moreit. Everything looked amazing, and so much of it is made in-house. Since this location was closer, a friend and I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Mexican Cubana with lentil soup and a Banana Nut Matcha Latte. The Cubana was absolutely out of this world. Everything about it was perfect. The lentil soup was also very good, although my friend ordered the black bean soup, and I think I might have been missing out. LOL. The sandwich and soup are definitely on the higher end price-wise, but I wouldn't let that stop you. There is plenty of value in the meal, and the sandwich is incredibly hearty. Both my friend and I had to take half of ours to go, which is something I seldom do. The Banana Nut Matcha Latte, however, was not for me. At $7.50, I expected more and would probably skip it next time. The atmosphere was very nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating; the restaurant was very clean, and even though it was extremely busy, there was still enough room to move around comfortably. They also have a coffee bar that doubles as a regular bar. Unfortunately, the customer service experience is what brought my rating down to 3 stars--and I honestly considered giving it 2.5. I understand this was a busy Saturday morning, especially with the restaurant being near a major entertainment and shopping area. We waited in a line outside, which did not bother me. The bigger issue was what happened once we got inside. Everyone enters the same line, moving first through the pastry counter--AND THE PASTRIES ARE HEAVEN!--before eventually reaching the register to order and pay. You are then given a table number and your food is delivered to you. I've been to plenty of restaurants that operate this way, but the flow here felt unnecessarily chaotic. Everyone was placed into the same line regardless of whether they were dining in, ordering food to go, or simply stopping in for pastries. I think having separate service areas or lines could help tremendously. It was also obvious that some of the staff were overwhelmed by how busy things had become. Unfortunately, that frustration seemed to spill over into some customer interactions, and a few employees came across as less than warm or welcoming. It may simply have been a difficult morning, but it definitely affected our experience. The bright spot was having the opportunity to speak with the manager on shift, Ms. Charisma. She was professional, empathetic, and genuinely listened to my concerns. She did not make excuses or try to justify what happened. She offered to compensate us for our meal, which we declined, but I truly appreciated the gesture. I wasn't looking for a free meal. I wanted another great experience that would make me excited to come back. Before this visit, I had been to the downtown location twice, and both experiences were fantastic. I had actually considered it one of the best cafes I'd found in San Antonio so far. That's why this visit was especially disappointing. I was excited to introduce a friend to a place I enjoyed so much, only to have a very different experience. Maybe it is location-dependent. Maybe it was simply the time of day or an especially difficult Saturday morning. What makes it frustrating is that the food itself was outstanding--a perfect 10/10. I was completely satisfied with my meal, but the service experience made it difficult to fully enjoy it. The location is also great, in a newer shopping center near La Cantera Resort and Six Flags. Parking wasn't terrible, although weekends can be challenging. I imagine it would be much easier during the week. Overall: Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: Needs improvement Overall: 3/5 Thank you, Ms. Charisma, for taking the time to listen and for handling the situation with professionalism and empathy. Because of that interaction, I am willing to give this location another chance.
