“It’s a cute little spot in the busy side of Logan that deserves all the love! So many empanada flavors it was hard to choose but I decided to settle my sweet and savory cravings and got a salsa verde chicken empanada and a banana Nutella empanada. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful it was so good. The banana Nutella really helped get that sweet craving. So good! Only thing is I’m sad the lavender lemonade was mostly ice and didn’t really have a lot of flavor, I wish it had both more lemon and more lavender! Overall great food for solid prices. Yum! 😋”
“Order the Horchata Latte. I am obsessed with this place and now my siblings are too! The chicken empanadas & veggie breakfast tacos are also amazing.”
“Eating some tacos by the light of neon is a vibe. I got the skirt steak and al pastor. It hit the spot. The portions were generous and delicious. Cool little spot if there’s open seating. I’m hoping to cross paths with the other locations soon.”
“Ordered a couple tacos and an empanada. Chicken verde was decent and a large portion with lots of onions. My “seasonal veggie” taco wasn’t so much a taco as (I strongly suspect) a bag of mixed frozen vegetables that were steamed, then served on top of a tortilla. Just call it a side of vegetables 😂 there are plenty of ways to make a good veggie taco but this was not it The empanada was good and if I came back here I’d stick to those.”
“The best empandas! I crave their black bean, goat cheese, and plantain and get it at least once everything I am back in Chicago. Guava cheese is also delicious.”
“Plantain goat cheese and black bean empanada is what dreams are made of”
“I keep coming back because they have the best empanadas and I’m obsessed with their Horchata Latte, plus the friendly staff with great customer service.”
“Incredibly friendly staff, fantastic service and amazing food. The empanadas were well made and flavourful. The best food experience during my Chicago trip. I’m telling my acquaintances to come here if they visit the city.”
