This is filled and filled with flavor. To top off these beauties they have traditional Argentinian chimichurri sauce. This is a sauce made from oil, parsley, garlic and other herbs and spices. It is not a hot sauce. All of this together and with a good price makes for a great tasting empanada!

We have only tried the empanadas here and they were amazing so we can only imagine what the other items taste like. We have a feeling it is great also. We will be back here investigating.

The prices for the empanadas is great. They are 15, 16, or 18 pesos! They are large so that is a good value.  There are baguettes that are 50-60 pesos.
