Totally terrible "Latin America " restaurant that has no clue about Latin American food. Very…read moregreasy! Their idea of nachos is a small bowl of tortilla chips with a bit of white cheese melted on a few of them. There is no salsa, no jalapeños no guacamole and nothing is spicy at all. Bland Latin American food? This place is mostly a college kid hangout. The SINGLE good thing here is that they serve Corona BUT they list it as Corona, when it is in fact, Corona Extra. Being in France they also serve chopped up bread on request. Speaking of requests, they give you a small bowl of olives IF you ask for them. One couple next to us had French fries with a ketchup like sauce on them as their main dish. We ordered a mixed platter and got French fries with bacon bits and other junk on them. We called it "vomit sauce". These people serve up French fries with every dish, passing them off as "Latin American " food! Even their "sangrias" are YELLOW because they mix them with cheap orange juice. Avoid this place unless you want to just drink a Corona. I've traveled extensively from Mexico to Argentina and there is nothing in this restaurant resembling Latin American food!

I am a little embarrassed that I decided to have empanadas while in France, but oh am I glad I did…read more This was one of the most enjoyable evenings I had in Montpellier. The restaurant is on a rather steep and out of the way little road. The outside tables, where i sat, cling to the side of the building tightly because the road is so narrow. There is a cover over the tables that is wide enough to keep you dry in the rain, which was good because it rained. The staff here is just plain fun. The waitress spoke 3 languages including English, and she tolerated our attempts at both Spanish from the menu and French. There are several options for empanadas, which you order with a cute system on a slip of paper. We also got a salad, which was excellent. All the flavors, and we tried most, were completely different and all delicious. When you need a break from expensive French restaurants, give Empanadas Club a try and you will be very happy you did.

My favorite in Montpellier…read more Pros: -Delicious empanadas. They have 7 standard ones, plus an empanada of the month. They also have a spicy sauce that adds a ton of flavor. -Servers speak English, Spanish, and French -Quick meal at a great price Cons: -None! Just make sure you make a reservation if you want to go between when they open and 8pm. They don't accept reservations after 8pm but it can be very busy.

This place is a gem. A little different from many of the other restaurants around here, and they do…read moreit well. Service is great and the food outstanding.

The food was not too bad although there was an ant between the salad. Apart from that there was…read moresome live music being played that was quite loud and it prevented me from understanding what my dining partners said. The combination of smokers on the terrace and the front being wide open so all the smoke could blow right towards me wasn't the the best either. Otherwise I'd say it's fine. If there wasn't any music or it at least was a bit quieter on would have added a star.
