“The empeñadas here are absolutely amazing. I would recommend this place any day of the week. The price per each empeñadas aren't the best. I would still recommend going there.”
“Tasty empanadas out of the food truck. Nice selection. The beef with Chimichurri was good.”
“Food is great. Service is horrible. I ordered 9 items, they sent 4. They got less than 50% of the order right. It’s the 3rd time it happened. Definitely not recommended. I’m never ordering from them again.”
“Love the Wicker Park location! Flavor genius! Staff are super nice, helpful, and kind. Special shout out to Nina the closer @ Wicker Park for going above and beyond! She is a super star!”
“Had the Beef, Ham and cheese, and the Chorizo patatas bravas with cheese, and they were all amazing. Very flavorful.. Customer service was amazing from the moment I walked in.. Definitely will be back..”
“Jamas he comido empanadas tan deliciosas. No dejen de provar Bacon, Dates & Goat Cheese. Algunos piensan son muy pequeñas pero en realidad lo importante es la gran cantidad de relleno q les ponen, en otros lugares hacen 2 de 1 de estas. Es mi primera ves y estoy encantada, buena atencion, agradable personal. Felicidas Ah y no soy Colombiana, soy Cubana, pero ni modo mis Felicitaciones. Hoy nov/25 reafirmo lo anterior que publique hace 6 años. El sabado 22 fui y como siempre compre mis favoritas, el lunes, mi nieto (no sabia yo habia. ido) vino a visitarme y me trajo 2. En realidad son maravillosas, exquisitas con abundante relleno, no comprendo pues en esta zona hay .uchas cafeterias, dulcerias, restaurant, los cuales veo repletos y eso no lo veo aqui. No saben lo que se estan perdiendo, a veces cree.os q te emos q co.er lo conocido, nuestra cultura y yo como cubana que Amo las Croquetas, prefiero estas Ricas Empanadas Argentinas. Animence y me agradeceran el consejo. Gracias 5. Hoy Marzo 28/26 quiero hacer un comentario. Fui como siempre en busca de dos empanadas y la masa estaba casi cruda, aunque se veían tostadas, una el relleno muy bueno,como siempre de Datil, Beicon y queso, pero la otra era casi puro queso marando el saber del datil vel beicon. No les hago mala recomendación, solo una sugerencia, un llamado de atención para,que no pierdan su buena calidad. Gracias”
