    This place is tucked next to the Trader Joe's on Redwood Road. I only ever go to TJ's in the later afternoon and evening so maybe that's why I've never seen this place open. They are open for breakfast and lunch hours there's plenty of accessible parking and a no-step entry into the establishment-- making it very easy for people who have strollers or need wheelchair access. They had several empanada options. I tried the beef, breakfast, and ham and cheese and empanadas. I liked the beef one the best followed by the breakfast empanada. The ham and cheese was my least favorite because it was a little too burnt on the crimped edge from the food warmer. It was also a tad too salty but it can be expected from items that have ham. To drink, I had an iced Matcha latte, which was well-made and distributed very quickly. All in all, I would come back if I'm in the area around that time. It makes a great pitstop on the way to one of the nearby swimming pools/lagoons.

    I love their empanadas. I'm so glad they have a bigger space now. There are plenty of tables to eat, drink and hang out at. I like their Cortados and humita empanadas best.

    It's a great treat to go there for empanadas. I would alternate my flavors of empanadas on a weekly basis and all are great but chicken is always the default. The cherry on top is a great cup of latte to go with it and a cozy ambiance to enjoy it.

    Finally got to try this place after seeing it soo many times during my TJ visit. Was excited to see them open on a Friday morning. When I got there there were a few people in line which gave me time to look at the menu. They have many different options - vegetarian included. Decided to go w beef and ham and cheese. When I ordered they were out of beef so had to switch it to chorizo. The chorizo is good (4.5/5) I wish it was crispier. The ham and cheese is also good (4/5), a bit salty, im thinking the cheese. The shell of the empanada is the best. Flaky and delicious. I also ordered a dark chocolate alfajores They have a huge selection of beverage menu also - from coffee, tea and even beer. Didn't get a beverage but will next time The space inside is huge and clean! I can see myself coming back here again to hang out and eat vs getting to-go. The service is also quick and friendly. Don't sleep on this place, come and visit them!
