I recently had my first experience with empanadas, thanks to a friend's recommendation to try this restaurant, and everything was fantastic. The green jalapeño sauce really has some heat, but it adds a delightful kick to milder empanadas like the pizza flavor. As someone who isn't a big fan of spicy food, I found that just a small amount was enough. All the savory empanadas I tasted were excellent, and the dessert varieties were just as delicious. Keep in mind that this restaurant is takeout only; there is no option to eat or drink on-site.
I ordered the wheat chicken empanada, and it was absolutely delicious, filled with shredded chicken. The staff member who took my order was friendly, which was a plus. However, I found them a bit stingy with the sauce. They only provide one sauce for every two empanadas, and I believe that little details matter. If they can't offer more sauce, at least one per empanada would enhance the experience. This kind of thoughtful service makes customers feel more welcome and encourages them to return.
I had heard great things about this restaurant, and since it's closer to my home than Empanada Mama, I decided to give it a shot. I ended up trying a total of eight empanadas, but unfortunately, none stood out as impressive. Many of the meat fillings were dry or lacking in flavor, and the cheese selections weren't appealing either. My favorite ended up being the Greek empanada. I usually love the Hawaiian empanadas, but the pineapple in these tasted overly sweet, which wasn't to my liking.
I wasn't very impressed with the empanadas. While there's a nice variety of flavors, the overall taste is just average and could use more seasoning. A few, like the Chicken Bacon Ranch and Cuban, are overloaded with cheese, which is a bit too much. The only one I enjoyed was the Spicy Chicken. I don't think I'll be returning in the future.

Had high expectations but was underwhelmed. I can appreciate the different fillings (I got one braised beef, one curry coconut chicken, and one cheese) but they were missing that home made flavour and authenticity. And for $4.95 each I was expecting them to be bigger. Worth a try but not sure that I would go again.
I have visited this restaurant numerous times, and it has consistently been a great experience. The service is quick, taking around 15 minutes, and the staff is friendly. I usually order the chicken and beef corn empanadas, and they have never disappointed me; they are always excellent.
