    Empanadas are soooo good. My go to’s are the ham and cheese, chorizo and Cajun. They are cooked to order so they taste so good and are not oily.

    The empanadas are good, depending on what filling you choose(some have great flavor some were lacking flavor completely). Empandadas are kinda big in size, crispy on the outside, but on some the dough was still uncooked in the inside . The prices IMO are a bit too high though, a dozen was over $50. Plenty of parking on plaza lot.

    Fantastic food. Johnny really cares about the food, flavors and most importantly, the customers. Easily the tastiest food I've had in the LA area. What a secret surprise! Try the island skewers... omg.

    Reason for visiting: lunch with co-workers Date/time of visit: Friday afternoon, lunchtime (before a long weekend) Parking: shared lot with other businesses, free. Party size: 8 Environment/ambience: chill atmosphere with 80s music and random videos playing on th wall. Theme is beach, surfing, canoes, etc. Black and white color scheme. Sign is black outside so it may be hard to see at night. Restaurant is super clean, so is the restroom. Service: great. Order at the front and food is brought out to you. Food: had #2 combo: steak skewers with fries, one empanada (steak), rice (instead of salad), and cup of water (free). The food was great. The empanada comes with its own sauces: tartar sauce (?), chimmichurri sauce, and a mayo/ketchup dip (looks like thousand island). Portions are pretty good. Cost: not bad but expensive for a reg lunch; total for #2 with taxes was ~$17.

    Absolutely loved this place. A definite five star Latin American restaurant in Winnetka, CA. yet it has a cool South Pacific surf vibe. Empanadas galore and the best I’ve ever had. The Bacon Jalapeño empanada was a favorite as well as the Beef Tinga empanada. The signature salad that came with the lunch combo was great too. They also give a generous amount of french fries and signature dipping sauces. The desert empanadas are a must too so don’t forget to take some home. This place came highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. This place is going on my favorites list for sure.

    OMG! This place totally hit the spot. Their empenada's were amazing! I had the bbq pork, ham and cheese, chorizo and potato, and the flanpenada. All four were excellent! The staff was very friendly, helpful, and patient. Definitely stop in if you're in the area!

    Servers were nice. Atmosphere was not good enough to bring a date. Empanadas were kind of greasy. My daughter loved their salad, but if you come from an empanada culture and are looking to eat empanadas, I wouldn't come here.

    They moved into a larger place some time ago and had not been there since the old location. If anything, their food is even better than before, thanks to a larger kitchen and classier digs. You get the strong impression they will be a large multi-location company one day. Very well run, fair prices.

    It's just different. I prefer real empanadas made with love made homemade. Very Commercial here, it shows in the food.

    Absolutely love this place they have the best empanadas and are the absolute nicest people would recommend them to anyone that wants to try something new and super tasty

    The place in San Fernando valley to try delicious mouth watering empanadas. Freshly prepared chicken empanadas with carrots and cabbage complimented with house made chimchuri is the best at this cozy restaurant. On the menu also wild caught salmon with French fries and salad with vingearette sauce is absolutely fantastic.

    Was never a big fan of empanadas cause usually they are small and overpriced. This was the first time i was impressed with empanadas. They were a good size, generous on the filling, packed full of flavor, and reasonably priced. 10/10 would recommend!!

  • 5/5 Alex G. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the signature salad and was delighted by the abundant raspberries, fresh cut mango and goat cheese all beautifully presented. The chimachurri quality reflected the care put into each dish. The bacon jalapeño empanada was savory, generously proportioned wrapped in a light, perfectly fried, crispy crust. I'll be back to sample more.

    Very delicious! The empanadas and sauces have amazing flavor. We had the beef, khalua pork and chorizo and they were all great. Also had the skewers which were cooked to order. Dining area has a nice surfer vibe and the music is on point. Customer service was amazing as well, very helpful. Check this place out!

    I don't believe I've ever actually eaten inside here - just gotten takeout. But all the food is so so good! The steak skewers, the chicken skewers, the empanadas (I got the jalapeno bacon this time and it may be my new favorite). Even their rice is delicious. The prices have gone up quite a bit over the years, but the portions are huge.

    I love the mushroom empanadas and the salads are so delicious 😋 I've been eating their food for years. The newer location is bigger and parking is never a problem. Good quality food.

    Besttt empanadas Ever! I have 5 years driven more that 1 hour and 30 minutes and it worth the trip! ❤️ my favorite are Flanada and bacon and jalapeño

  • 5/5 Maria G. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was very fresh and delicious! Service was amazing as well. All of the staff was super friendly. The portions compared to prices are great as well! I stopped by with my fiancé while visiting, we looked up places to eat and found this spot through the reviews. We are very glad we stopped by and will definitely stop by again if we are near by.

    I really really love this place. If your in the area you gotta try it. They are a pretty SoCal take on empeñadas so you won’t find to much in the way of authenticity in the fillings but that doesn’t mean they aren’t extremely delicious! Try the coconut with caramel sauce!

    First time and I'm happy got recommendations from family member- I wasn't sure about eat fry food but this are totally delicious not gersy and feel like backed.💜🔥 I got the beef dinga and spinach and cheese The beef is my favorite now.

    The Empanadas were ok. The restaurant was very clean. I did not like the fact that the girls who took my order, also handled the cash, also hand-made the Empanadas. I had 2 Beef and Sauces that complimented the Empanadas perfectly. I did not know they had Corn, Carrots inside the Empanadas. I probably will not be going back.

    Best Empanadas I ever had Hands down !! They are thick so they fill you up and the sauces are super tasty for the quality of the food it’s worth eating here. No regrets :) Plus staff is super nice ! 👍🏼👍🏼
