Our Reviews:
-Spicy Chorizo Empanada
The Spicy Chorizo Empanada was a brilliant combination of texture and taste with the chorizo being smooth and rich in flavor while the baked shell served as a subtle, flaky sidekick. The peppers as well as the added hot sauce completed the dish as they brought a brilliant tanginess and spice.
-Mushroom Cheese Empanada
The shell of the Mushroom Cheese Empanada was just as flaky and delicious as the Spicy Chorizo Empanada’s, and the vegetables were seasoned to have a mild flavor. The textures of the cheese and mushrooms were very alike but paired well with that of the shell.
-Philly Cheesesteak Empanada
The Philly Cheese Steak Empanada tasted exactly as described-- like a philly cheesesteak sandwich. The ground beef was very tender and juicy, blending well with the cheese and peppers that accompanied it. Also, the side of chimichurri provided a beneficial acidity that complimented the dish.
