    Chicken Pot Pie empanada
    Lys G.

    Always a go-to when I'm in the area. I especially love the chicken pot pie empanadas. Definitely not a place to sit and vibe but they're always so kind to us! Accessible

    Beef Empanada
    Erica C.

    Stopped by to try their empanadas. I ordered the beef empanada. It's a good size and full of filling inside. The beef was flavorful. Be sure to get the chimichurri sauce on the side. It compliments the empanada perfectly!

    I've been wanting to try this place forever and after having a bad breakfast experience, we decided to cheer up with some empanadas. We ordered a spicy pork, beef, beef potato, guava cream cheese, and banana dulce de leche. They came with chimichurri and we also asked for lemon on the side. Pro tip: ask for the lemon!!! It really elevates the flavor. My fave was the spicy pork. I will say that I was expecting there to be a little more flavor and the beef was a little dry. As I mentioned, the lemon helps a lot!!! With the lemon, the flavor of the meat was brought out. We didn't get a chance to try the gelato or the Alfajores, but we'll come back for that. Service was great and restaurant was clean!

    Spicy beef and potatoes empanada
    Christie T.

    So GOOD!! You can smell the empanadas from outside the sidewalk. It is a small place. There's some indoor seating inside along the wall or outdoor seating available. There's a lot of different fillings. I got the spicy beef and potatoes empanada. It was not spicy at all. Nice flavors. Kinda dry inside, but They have a house freshly-made chimichurri sauce that is DELICIOUS!!! They even sell the chimichurri sauce in jars to go! Adding the chimichurri sauce on the empanadas is PERFECTION! There is also a nice selection of gelato. It is pricey ($6 for a small cup), but ... Wow! The gelato is so good too! An added bonus is they also have vegan empanada options. There's something for everyone TIP: check in with YELP for $1 off any empanada.

    Chicken Pot Pie, Beef & Cheese  and Spicy Pork Empanadas.
    Jeff N.

    If you like empanadas, this is a good place to visit. I ordered Beef & Cheese, Spicy Pork, and Chicken Pot Pie. The chicken was my favorite; I wish I had ordered more than 1. The beef & cheese was also really good; I'll definitely order it again. I wasn't impressed with the spicy pork, which I didn't find spicy or very flavorful; that's why I gave 4 Stars. Ordering is fast and easy. The staff very friendly. The food quickly ready and piping hot.

    Banana dulce de leche
    Sokunna F.

    Great serving size and tastes authentic and amazing! This also gives many types of flavors for gelato and the empanadas are crispy and tasty. Behind the building there is parking and the indoors is clean and smells nice with kind staff that can give you samples!

    Sweet potato and samosa veggie are the vegan options. The sweet potato was the better of the two with more flavor. The samosa veggie was more of a potato and pea mixture and I was missing a samosa flavor. The vegan dough was crispy and had a nice flake to it. The empanadas are hot out of the oven and we didn't wait long for them. They also serve gelato, at least ten different flavors.

    This was the sweet potato and being so good

    I love this little empanada shop I used to come here years ago get their steak potato and they used to have a chicken curry empanada which they no longer have. We decided to have the sweet potato with bean empanada the dough was quite different , much thicker than the chicken and mushroom empanada both different both delicious... and piping hot these are some serious empanadas people.... They also have many different flavors of mouthwatering gelato, we didn't get it this time but we would come back just for the gelato... they actually had a dark chocolateI am just dying to try!

    I've searched far and wide for a legit empanada place. The empanadas here are amazing! The bread is soft as a croissant, which makes them different from everyone else. The banana Dulce de leche gelato is great too! Overall it's one of those local places you think you didn't need, but turns out to be the best decision of your lunch life

    all the empanadas we ordered minus the mac n cheese one
    Charley T.

    we tried several empanadas and a greek salad. beef and potato was the kids favorite. My favorite was the spicy pork empanada and the chicken pot pie empanada. the salsa was a decent size they thought the mac n cheese one was ok. the only issue with our visit was it was really hot in the shop so we definitely ate outside.

    chicken pot pie empanada with sauce
    Mia G.

    MAD GOOD! for 4.98 mmmm mmm mmmm. the chicken pot pie empanada is fiiire mad fire. the sauce that comes with is really good too, like a nice garlicky flavor. def reccomend for a quick, cheap, filling munch.

    Lily T.

    Empanadas & Gelato, what a fun combo! Their empanadas were still warm & the pastry was pleasantly flaky, almost like a croissant. Che to come back to try their Gelato!

    Huge empanada!
    Jennifer H.

    I was so impressed by the empanadas here! I got the Mac and cheese empanada and the chicken mushroom empanada. Each empanada was around $5, but they were very large and filling! The Mac and cheese was cheesy, which I appreciated because I've definitely had other Mac and cheese empanadas that have minimum cheese. The chicken mushroom was also tasty. Something unique that I loved here was the green dipping sauce! It added so much flavor to the empanada. You also get $1 off for checking in on Yelp. Definitively recommend this place for a quick bite to eat if you're in the Laguna Beach area!

It was a late lunch so I called to see if a reservation is needed for 2 ppl. Not at all so we jumped into the car. Such a wonderful restaurant in an unassuming plaza. Lots of parking. There's an outdoor seating area and a good size restaurant inside. We were greeted as we walked in. Btw, the HUGE glass door entrance, I love. There Were a few open tables and we were welcome to sit where we wanted to. Two classes of water were brought to the table and a waiter came with the menu. My mom is vegetarian and I am not. I asked the waiter for his vegetarian dishes and he provided me a pasta dish. That was exactly what my Mom was wanting. Linguine with a light pink sauce with mushrooms and you can add zucchini, bell pepper and broccoli. I ordered a sangria. That was just amazing itself. And a linguine dish with shrimp. Warm, sliced French bread and a small dish of butter was brought out first that was so good. Usually the bread and butter that is brought at small restaurants like these could be just mediocre or not good at all. This was warm and just tasty. We also ordered a Caprese. The plate came out with big chunks of mozzarella tomatoes, and both were sitting on a marinated pesto covered set of basil leaves. That was so good. The combination of the vinaigrette, mozzarella basil tomato pesto was exactly what we were looking for so refreshing. Our entrées were huge for $20 a plate. We had to take 3/4 of it home. That was so not expected. Pasta and the pasta sauce were amazing. Very freshly made. Dishes were made to order only and not sitting around. I asked if they were doing something special for birthdays and I pointed to my mom next to you know, the waiter came out with fresh homemade Tim. They also sing to my mom wish she was so sweet. I am loving this place and will be coming back. Thank you so much for the staff for making my mom feel so wonderful on her birthday. The food was amazing Services amazing. Restaurant felt warm the moment we walked in and so welcoming.

    Avengers Assemble! This is a five star review and a…read morewonderful place that we highly recommend! The parking is easy in a small shopping center,, we didn't even need to use Pym particles to shrink the car to fit into a spot. There is indoor and outdoor seating, so we chose outdoor seating, so we could dine in alfresco and the service was excellent. Both the main server and her assistant consistently checked in on us and made sure our drinks were filled. Service is very friendly and they basically had Spidey-sense for exactly when we needed refills. We ordered their chef special steak, which is an Argentinian grilled ribeye, but with an Italian sauce. We also ordered the shrimp, which is also a fusion of Argentinian and Italian. The flavor team-up was so good it felt like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner working together in the lab. For an appetizer, we got an empanada. This is one of the best empanadas we've had, as the crust was very airy and crispy, but not heavy and overly dense. Excellent texture and flavor,, honestly mighty enough to lift Thor's hammer tbh. Also, ordered Argentinian sausages. Excellent texture and bold flavor. It may not have a spicy kick as an Italian sausage, but quality meat and insides. Dr Strange would happily take us on a tour inside and out of this sausage with his yellow portal openers. Oh wait, we are the sausages, so guess he can't. Interestingly, enough, we didn't think that bread could be so excellent! We are big fans of French and Vietnamese style baguettes that are slightly crispy on the outside, but very light on the inside. The bread here was crispy on the outside, but also light and a little chewy on the inside, but in the best way possible. So it has its own flare and flavor. We asked, and they indeed bake this in-house, and you could definitely tell! They mentioned that they make their sandwiches with this baguette bread that is baked on premise and in-house, so we will definitely have to come back and try it again. That bread is basically the reality Infinity Stone of the menu. Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent ambience! Kinda as relaxing as chilling at the Avengers compound after a long mission.

Definitely a spot we'd come back to.
