I ordered the arepa stuffed with chicken, avocado, and sweet plantain which was absolutely scrumptious while the bf ordered a Cuban sandwich which was amazing! so full of tasty carnitas, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and red onions. Hope to see them again soon! will definitely be back.

I love a new coffee shop, and this name really got my attention…read more I loved the broad menu, so when I went I wanted to try a few empanada's and a coffee. The coffee was great, but sadly the empanadas didn't meet the hype. They tasted a bit old, and had hardly any filling in them. The price point was about $25 for an iced coffee and 3 empanadas. I'd totally go back for a coffee, but will probably hit the local pandaria for empanadas.

The establishment was easy to find and relatively ample parking…read more the restaurant was entirely dead when I came in so it was very clean. Despite the fact that it was completely dead, it took about 20 minutes to get two teeny, tiny empanadas. i was unsure if the guy was super unfriendly, didn't speak or understand english, didn't like his job, or a combo of the three. anyway, i opted for the ham & cheese & the chorizo, as all other options had onion - i am allergic to onion. rather disappointing, bc i wasn't (shockingly for me) in the mood for breakfast. the ham and cheese was amply filled and somewhat flavorful, but not great. the chorizo one was flavorful - it had a yummy spiciness to it, however it was lacking in the stuffing. i bit into it and it was only half-filled. for the price, you'd think they'd fill the darn things to capacity. the "shell/pocket" was disappointing in both taste and size - kinda tasted like a tortilla. nothing special. * size matters, people. don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise. pretty underwhelming and disappointing all around. service: 2/10 serving size: 1/10 taste: 3/10 i would not recommend - go to maria empanada instead.

Thanks to the big decal ("Empanada") on the front window that didn't escape my notice!! Good thing I was paying attention. This is a very small location. Even though I saw it, you can easily miss it. I truly hope that it's getting enough foot traffic. The young man upfront welcomed me. Upon entering, I was the only customer. He let me take my time to decide. I didn't feel rushed. I found my new favorite today: Chorizo Cheese and Egg. Had never had this flavor in the past as I had never seen it until today. Or is this a new flavor?? I pointed out to a tart looking sweet one in the glass showcase which the young man identified it as passion fruit tart. Sounded good. I settled on those two for to go. He, of course, put my savory in the oven toaster which he said would take about 5 minutes. He didn't put the savory and the sweet in the same container; he separated them. What a conscientious gesture! He saw me off with a warm/friendly smile with a pleasant "Thank you; have a good day!" After taking a few photos of the two, I immediately started savoring them. The Passion Fruit tart wasn't impressive and yet the right amount of sweetness tickled my sweet tooth to the touch. I wish I had tasted more passion fruit in it. The savory (chorizo/cheese/egg) however became my new favorite. Nice and gooey inside where the creaminess of the marinade can make a mess over your clothes if you are not careful. Lazo never fails to amaze me with the bestest ingredients and flavors no matter when. My perfect mid morning snack sent me to the next errand for the day. Much needed pick-me-up indeed!!

I didn't have anything as I was waiting to get dinner a little later but my friend wanted to order an empanada they didn't yet have ready so he got a different one instead. We sat down to watch the game and after he finished his empanada, they brought out the original one he asked for at no charge bc it was finally ready. It was soooo sweet and completely unnecessary, they just went above and beyond bc they wanted to. I recommend this place wholeheartedly and the vibes are great for World Cup matches. Just a bunch of good people all around here - staff and patrons
