These are the best empanadas I’ve ever had. I’ve tried to eat some from other places, but nothing compares. Thank you for making and sharing your amazing food! I will never stop recommending this place.

New favorite spot for empanadas! Great flavor combinations and dipping sauce options. They also have bowls, churros, horchata, elotes and garlic plantains! Everything we've tried has been outstanding! friendly staff and easy ordering. Don't forget to sign up for their rewards program as well!

We were visiting from out of town, and this place caught my eye as we drove past. We stopped by the next day for lunch and weren't disappointed. The empanadas were delicious! It was hard to choose just two because they all looked so good. The pictures of each dish really helped us decide. The picadillo empanada was just as good the ones my Puerto Rican grandmother used to make. The dipping sauces were a nice touch, and the staff's recommendations paired well with the variety of empanadas we ordered. The veggie dumplings were also very good, as were the fried plantains. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and patient with us as we ordered. Unfortunately, there is no indoor dining, so we had to eat in the car. This did not detract from the wonderful taste of the food, however. If I were a local, I would patronize this establishment frequently. The prices were very reasonable and the food was some of the best I've ever had. Every city should have a Savory Crust!

I once drove 19 miles out of my way for 2 Pork Belly Empanadas. Sure I can get them at the place 3 miles from my house. Why would I? You want the best, it's worth it. Great staff, great food.

Everything I've had here is really delicious. The empanadas, bowls, sides and desserts are all super tasty. I order for delivery and have had no issues. Portions were generous and arrived the proper temperature.

This is a small location with no seating. Everyone was friendly and prices are good. Their signage and the ordering method is set up well. Ube horchata? OMG, I got a surprise ube fix! It's unique and tasty. We ordered an assortment of empanadas to try. The Argentinian chicken, chicken pot pie, and Philly cheese steak are all delicious. 5 stars. The pork belly is OK but a little disappointing. The sauces made the other choices so good where this is more just meat and crust. All of them have a pot pie style crust. The apple pie empanada tastes like a McDonald's apple pie for grown-ups. Very good.

Love the empanadas that I ordered. Absolutely delicious! The filling is flavorful and the crust is buttery. I love the horchata too. I ordered the Argentina empanadas and bought Cuban empanadas to go. Looking forward to try their other products.
