    The empanadas are delicious and have a lot of meat. I also had grilled chicken salad and tasted really good

    The best spot for fresh, quick empanadas and to go margaritas. They make it fresh so it will takeva little bit but so worth it. I got the mango margarita and it had fresh mango, the marg was also super strong. 10/10 recommend the Cuban empanada. It was packed with meat and cheese, so good. Definitely ask for sauce on the side, you won't be disappointed. The empanadas are a good size and pretty filling. 2-3 is more than enough.

    I walked in for a late night snack after drinking around 1:30AM on a Saturday night. It was busy and popular. You can line up to order or use the quick and easy machines. I got the beef and corn empanada. It was good, but the shell was a bit thick and much to chew through. They're known for other flavors, like the mac and cheese. Cashiers were definitely over it. There were some tables and chairs. There was a separate bar section with a bouncer.

    The chicken quesadilla is good, a lot of cheese inside and I like the amount of chips that comes with the box when ordering delivery. Mango juice was sweet :)
