Delicious Empanadas; I walked in and got some to go, but if you have a big order I’d recommend placing it in advance. Lots of delicious flavors so I’d recommend trying multiple types. Only note is they charge extra for Chimichurri sauce, so make sure to ask for it vs assuming they will put it in the box.

Just had an amazing experience at this Argentinian gem! ???????? I tried three different empanadas, beef, beef with chimichurri, and ham & cheese, and each one was absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly baked, with a golden finish and great texture, and the fillings were packed with flavor. The chimichurri added a bold kick that took the beef to another level. The atmosphere is super authentic, Maradona jerseys on the wall, old-school Argentinian posters, and even a framed photo of classic empanadas like the ones I was eating. You can feel the pride in both the food and the culture.

The absolute BEST and most authentic facturas (Argentine pastries) I have had outside of Argentina. We also had two empanadas, and they were really tasty. Our favorite thing was the atmosphere, very Argentinian. Love this place!!

If you find yourself outside Melipilla, Chile you must stop at this shack on the side of the road. In 15 minutes he will make wonderful homemade empanadas. We actually had a couple of eachkind. The salmon I would not recommend because it comes from a can but the others were divine. The owner asked if we had heard of him and that is why we were there.... "I want to be the empanada king of chile" he exclaimed... he may be on his way.
