Their consistency and attention to detail is key to their success! The owner takes pride in the quality of his food therefore placing him in a league of his own next to his many competitors. I am never disappointed when I come by for my "verencheese empanadas" or my "caprichos de pollo", I find that each time is like the first. My taste buds always find something new and exciting to be overjoyed about. P.S. Try their natural juices and shakes, they are amazing!!

Forget Empanada Mama, this is where it's at! There are so many different options to chose from, and they are all pretty much amazing! Among my favs are the pizza, chicken, pork, and beef. The crust is nice balance of flake and softness, and the ingredients are fresh.
