Although I wanted to try a little of everything, I only grabbed a few goodies - an apple empanada, a concha and a payaso - a sweet pink swirl bread slice with some raisins and a sugary paste exterior. All were fresh and delicious. It was hard to choose a favorite, and I would get all of them again. So happy to discover this spot and will be coming back to try many more of their items!

I love that I can place a custom order right on the website, and it's ready for pickup when I expect it. Usually, I'll order the custom cake and filling with just a plain white frosting and add my own toppings and candles. I also like their empanadas and pan dulces! I've yet to be disappointed! It's definitely one of the better bakeries in this area!

Great food, atmosphere and service. First time there. Loved it! The chips and the tacos are awesome!read more

How can two recent experiences be different?…read more Two weeks ago we had dinner on the roof deck and it was memorably good. Last night we ate inside the restaurant and it was ok. Our server week one was exceptional. Last night our server was very kind but in the weeds, which isn't his fault. He had to serve outside and inside. Looks like he was the only one. That's not fair. Two weeks ago I ordered a Casa Salad with shrimp and it was good. Last night I ordered the same thing and the dressing was actually insanely bad. I've not had something so spicey in most of my life. I even had my husband taste it and he agreed it was actually insanely bad. I ended up with what felt like ulcerations in my mouth from it. Someone must have used the wrong peppers or something. I did order something else to replace this but the meal was ruined for me. As I type this I don't feel well hours later. I can't imagine the dressing is always so ridiculous. Oh and the club soda was flat. No reason for that either. It just means the bar will be turning out drinks that are sub-par. Consistency is important in a restaurant. The problems with dinner last night mean the manager and chef are not watching carefully.

Note: Cash Only I…read morewas so excited to try Panaderia Evita, I put it on my calendar to not forget. While they have some things going for them, the experience ended up falling a little below expectations. Walking in, you're greeted by the smell of fresh baked goods. The setup is similar to Paris Baguette where you grab a pair of tongs and a tray, and then grab anything you want. Therein lies complaint #1: Other than small price stickers that some amy needs reading glasses for, there are no labels of any kind as to what it what. I can recognize a donut (at least I think so), but with the rest, I couldn't even tell if they were sweet or savory. I grabbed three different pastries, including one that was recommended by the clerk. With half an exception, the feedback is generally the same. This is complaint #2: Except for the one that had a softer, yellower center, the dough was firm with very little give. There's nothing wrong with a little crispness, but in this case, there wasn't much (if any) flakiness. With all of this said, while I am open to returning and trying some more items, I don't see myself breaking down the door to come back or recommending this spot to friends and family.

Panaderia Evita is a true hidden gem in the neighborhood!…read more Panaderia Evita is the type of bakery that if you walked too fast you would miss it. I came across Panaderia Evita during a random walk through Rodgers Park and I'm so happy I stop in that day. The staff is friendly and always speaks when I visit. The inside is spacious and clean not much investment into the decor but the food makes up for it. There are a ton of bakeries along the same block but the pastries from Panaderia Evita stand out from the rest. The homemade donuts are unbelievable! Pastries from the sugar donuts to the Conchas are so sweet and fluffy. I have yet to have a bad pastry from Panaderia Evita! I highly recommend trying the donuts because they're so fluffy and test so fresh. I haven't had a fresh donut like the ones at Panaderia Evita even at places dedicated to donuts.

One Star!, and only bc they gave me food I ordered - that's it!…read more It's Xmas Eve, I went to pick up a large order for 10 guests ( imagine my $bill). I'm all dressed up in Holiday clothing..., they wouldn't offer to help me carry it out curbside to my car - the yuca was packaged in a doggie-bag style styrofoam container with no seal and the garlic oil spilled all over my scarf and dress shirt! I couldn't believe it!, I went back in but no one would take care of me in the restaurant so I went to the front of the bodega where I found the manager. When I voiced my complaint about their lack of professionalism and courtesy all he could say (or do) is say "I'm sorry". These must be new owners bc they use to be really good, not now. I'll take my business to 90 Millas or somewhere else - consider yourselves forewarned..., Feliz Navidad and Merry Xmas to everyone!

The "bowls" come in the same cups as a smoothie would come in, but a smoothie only comes in 20oz. I actually appreciate all the different bowl sizes as I only wanted something lighter and I got a small 8oz bowl for one of my kids. My husband and my other kid each ordered a smoothie. You can have unlimited toppings! And there's so many tasty options such as kiwi, spirulina chia pudding, coconut, granola, etc. You could also pay a little more for a fancy topping such as yellow dragonfuit, which is what I got on mine. Sadly the oven wasn't working so no empanada this time.

Post completion of my run on the Green Bay Trail, I discovered Fons - Plant Based Empanadas while…read morebrowsing alternative restaurants within downtown Winnetka. In spite of me having every intention on visiting Stacked & Folded, it became my choice for eats after I saw the Fons - Plant Based Empanadas sign. It is currently located at Winnetka Walk inside of the space formerly held by an ice cream shop known as Adelheidi's Organics. There are plenty of parking spots available along Lincoln Ave in spite of the space being shared with other restaurants and businesses. Believe it or not, there is always someone leaving this area if you cannot find parking upon arriving in downtown Winnetka. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and up to the counter to see what is offered on their display menu. And I must say that I felt very welcome prior to ordering. I ended up ordering three empanadas after the employee recommended it because of the buy three get one free advertisement. Out of empanada choices like Tinga, Sweet Potato Chilli, Chorizo Cheese & Potato, Smoky Mushrooms, Andean, Margherita, Rope Vieja, Pulled BBQ, Corn, and Lumpia; my four empanadas chosen were a Margherita, Corn, and two Pulled BBQ. I took my time choosing my drink because there were lemonade flavors that I absolutely adored like Mango & Strawberry, Dragonfruit & Pomegranate, Passion Fruit & Hibiscus, Turmeric Pineapple, Watermelon & Kiwi, and Blueberry & Lavender. I ended up ordering the Mango Strawberry because it consisted of two flavors I craved at the time. As my order was being made, the employee and I ended up conversing about running which I am very passionate about. I love that no matter how short the shorts I am wearing are or how sweaty I am, a conversation about running is always struck up whenever I visit businesses or restaurants wearing running clothes. Service: 5 (Great) If you wish to dine-in, there are an acceptable amount of tables and seats in the dining area, including stool seats along the window. During the time of my visit there were not any customers at Fons - Plant Based Empanadas. I imagine that because it is new to the area was the reason for it not having much business compared to others in the area. I told the employee that Fons will do good because of how many individuals are within downtown Winnetka on a regular basis. Atmosphere: 4 (Good) As for my food, I must say that I enjoyed the empanadas. Mmm, I nearly ate all four empanadas before even driving my vehicle out of the area, hehe. Oh, yes honey they were delicious! Out of all flavors, the Margherita, Corn, and the Pulled BBQ, I have to say I enjoyed the Pulled BBQ the most. While eating that particular empanada I had the biggest smirk on my face. Food: 5 (Great) Being that I had a great experience, I would gladly order from Fons - Plant Based Empanadas again when visiting downtown Winnetka, likely after running the Green Bay Trail. Service: 5 | Atmosphere: 4 | Food: 5 ~ Peace. Love. Happiness. ~ Thomas G
