    My wife and I have gone into the store multiple times, but their food truck came to our apartment complex tonight. Not all empanadas are created equal. These particular ones are always delicious. I had the #1 (Original Chicken) and the #7 (Steak and Cheese). The spinach and cheese and the chicken florentine empanadas are great also. It is great for a quick bite or a meal at any time of the day. This is always worth a repeat visit.

    I recently visited an empanada store and was impressed with the freshness and flavor of their empanadas. The dough was perfectly cooked and had a nice texture, and the fillings were delicious and generously portioned. My friend and I tried several different options, and they were all fantastic. The store had a good selection of empanadas and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, I highly recommend this empanada store for anyone looking for a delicious meal.

    They don’t open until 8am on Saturday and Sundays the serve breakfast until 10-10:30am but if you don’t want breakfast, you can order the others but will take 5-7 minutes to bake. They don’t have the chili verde anymore :-( . The lady baking was super friendly. They serve salads and dessert empanadas. The place is clean and smell amazing.

    We had a basketball shoot out at Mission Viejo High School, and this place was across the street. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The restaurant is clean, has several tables up front and a few booths in the back. The empanadas were a good size; like a good hand pie size, rather than some places that serve the little snack sized appetizers. We have 2 athletes who are big eaters, so we bought a dozen. A dozen empanadas costs between $29 and about $33 (I think), depending on which ones you get. There are numbers stamped into the pastry so you know which is which. We tried the Ham and Cheese, Four Cheese, Spinach and Cheese, Veggie, Chicken Cordon Bleu, and the Beef Pot Roast. They have variety of dippng sauces, and we tried the House Chimichurri and the Chipotle Ranch sauces. Everything we ate was delicious, and we liked trying different empanada-sauce combos. It was a great lunch, and we definitely recommend this place. We were too full to try their dessert empanadas, but we will be going back.

    Prices were a bit high, but the variety here is just great. Pizza? Cheese steak? A veggie medley that blew me away. The sides, the black beans are very flavorful. The fries are seasoned very well (strong, but great), and I got a small taste of their rice pudding and loved it. Honestly, I think the overall ratings for this place are lower than it deserves. I'll be back here.
