Empanadas are fresh & delicious. Nice selection as well & they are baked, not fried so healthier. Alan, the owner is very hospitable & helpful. Will be back to try more!
Finally made it here after seeing this place on the Brennan Taylor YouTube channel! Really glad we did. Super good empanadas and friendly people/service not only there but at the thrift shop next door SoFlo Finds! We tried one each of the Carne, Cuban, Buffalo, Messi, and Birria. All were good with the Birria and Cuban being my favs. Highly recommend, and support small local business!
Thesr are the most amazing Empanadas. Each one is loaded with so much flavor. Each of my family members has a favorite. The kids love the Birria and Buffalo chicken. My favorite is truffle mac and cheese. Alan, the owner, is super friendly, too.
Fresh baked to order. Great flavors on the empanadas. The smoothies are amazing too. Owner was great guy! It’s outside patio seating with good shade. Good quick lunch spot.
The first time that I came I tried three empanadas and they were truly amazing. So I'm back for a second time to try four different empanadas from the menu. The owner is really cool. He also trains Jiu-Jitsu like I do and knows some people from the community that I know also. But this place is definitely a jewel of Delray Beach. Stop by and check it out. You won't be disappointed.
The Birria and Carne empanadas are Freaking delicious. Going to have to come back and try the rest of the empanadad.
Friday, January 10th, 2025 I tried the Cheeseburger Empanada, The Lovers Empanada, and the Pizza (Vegetarian) Empanada and they were all surprisingly flavorful! The Cheeseburger Empanada one really did taste like a classic cheeseburger. I could taste the hint of pickles, and the meat was well seasoned. The Pizza Empanada was listed as vegetarian, and it actually did give me the flavors of pizza with hot, steamy, gooey seasoned cheese. Last but not least, The Lovers Empanada, which came with melted, hot Nutella and juicy strawberries was my favorite since I love desserts. I just wish parking was more accessible, but I loved each one and I can’t wait to come back and try the other selection of flavors.
What a very cool place with outstanding empanadas. We rolled with the Burris that’s pulled beef, cheese with Burris sauce. Excellent flavor and perfect crunch. The Cubano style was also packed with flavor but the favorite was the Carne ground beef, peppers, onions, and chimichurri sauce was it’s amazing. Washed them down with a tropical smoothie and then ordered a dozen mix to go from the weekend “the kit has 4 types and cooking instructions. If your in east Delray check it out.
