Nice little restaurant in the heart of downtown San Diego. If you are looking for something different definitely try this place. Indoor and outside seating. Prompt service. Ordered the chicken, sweet corn and basil and the apple for dessert. Only complaint is the empanadas could have been hotter and chimichurri needs more herbs.
Absolutely great little place serving delicious meat pockets. I've had to go here a couple times before I could try their lamb empanadas, they sold out on previous days before noon. I would definitely recommend getting their house made chimichurri sauce to go with your pockets. I also love how each empanada is crimped uniquely so that you can tell which one from your plate full you are eating. This is a new favorite on my list of hot spots
Really tasty! We tried a variety of flavors, and I can't say that I have a favorite. And on top of the tasty empanadas, the cashier was so friendly, we talked a little about how both of our newborn daughters. I will be back and would recommend to others.
After a long day at the Baloboa Park we wandered past the San Diego High School and City college down Park Street and decided to walk towards the downtown on C Street. We saw this beautifully painted bright yellow store front and decided to give it a shot. From the outside walking in, the mouth-watering smell of the kitchen smells lured us in this lambently lit area. There's a couple of see-thru display showcasing the empanadas so you can pick exactly which one you want. The excellent options of flavors is very broad. They offer vegetarian, beef, chicken, mushroom, lamb and more! We tried the chicken, ratatouille veggie and beef empanadas. They are the best empanadas I've had! The chimichurri sauce both spicy and regular are very delightful! The spicy is perfect. I recommend everyone to go here and try this out.
I had empanadas before but omg these are the best! Especial the lamb empanada with their sauce (not sure name but it’s the mild not the hot sauce ) but it’s awesome!
Holy moly best empanadas I've ever had in my life! What a great little place. Dan the owner is such a great guy providing little pockets of pastry wrapped meaty (& veggie) love to the community. Thanks Dan for what you do!
Best empanadas I’ve had. Larger than typical (3 is plenty) with great breading.
Beef - 9/10. Almost didn’t order this one since i thought it was basic, but it was very flavorful with the chimichurri sauce.
Mushroom & Goat cheese - 10/10 phenomenal. Great balance between the two flavors and outstanding texture.
Lamb - 7/10. Seems to be the most popular on here, and while I love lamb and this had a delicious lamb flavor, I thought it could’ve been a bit more tender/juicy. Don’t get me wrong, it was still great, hence the 7/10.
This place was dope and they were hella nice! Chilled here for about a half an hour just chilling and chopping it up with the workers and my friends! Plus the empanadas were really good! The apple pie was delicious! I'd bring a scoop of vanilla ice cream next time to put on top!
Delicious empanadas! Reasonably priced and they look small but were very filling. Great meal of 2 empanadas with a nice side salad for $12!
We go to empanada kitchen all the time. They have great empanadas probably the best in the city. They have a location in North Park as well that we frequent. All of their empanadas are so tasty. I personally get the mushroom one and the corn one and my wife really likes the lamb.
