“ Beautiful and super cosy place and service. Empanadas were sooo yummy; a real hug to the soul when you have been far from home for so long ???????? I recommend 3 or 4 empanadas per person, but honestly I would eat a 100 non stop. The Bondiola were amazing and Spinach with that touch of nutmeg , the Humita ones with that touch of spice we ordered to go on the road and it was really convenient. Gracias ”

“ As an Argentinian, I can say these are DELICIOUS empanadas!! Really cozy place to sit inside or outside. Try the “alfajores de maicena” if you’re in for a sweet treat! ”
“ It’s like a hole in a wall place, it exists. Just go around Arctic Juice and cafe towards Center Commercial Alpina, and there it is a few steps down. The lady running this restaurant is very genuine and kind, provided good service. They have a lot of veggie options and they are delicious, my favorite is Humita. ”
