Description

Beyond the standard beef, the menu features fillings like Spicy Chicken, seafood, and the Biagra, served packed and either fried or baked. While reviews on the taste range from satisfactory to excellent, the empanadas generally win points for being fresh and not overly greasy. The space offers limited indoor seating, but because street parking nearby is notoriously difficult, it operates best as a quick, reliable grab-and-go stop.
