Reminded me of my trips to Pachuca and stoping at the pasterias to pick up lunch. Being greeted by a super courteous and friendly young man tending the café is appreciated since such traits are hard to find nowadays in most establishments. This southsider will definitely be back when in the area.

I had the black bean, beef and potatoe, along with the Chicken Tinga! I loved them all. I like the spicy green sauce though whiched there were other sauces to choose from. I do like the home-made feel and taste, though I will be honest. I do prefer the fried empandas. But in anycase like many of the other reviewers stated.... this is a good place to check out if you are near North and California for homemade baked empandas!
