Puerto Madero - Santa Ana

"The best empanadas in Santa Ana. The food receives a perfect 5 out of 5 rating."

They serve you with a good attitude and are always willing to help. The food is delicious.

Excellent Argentine empanadas. I like to call mine in in advance and they are usually ready for me by the time I get there. Illuminates time standing around. But if you do stand around and wait most likely you can catch a soccer game on their TV. This place is smaller than their sister store El Gaucho in Anaheim and they do not sell wine here. Nice employees. They could be a little more generous with their chimichurri sauce when you order lots of empanadas. But when I order a dozen, I only get two small 1 ounce servings. I still give them 5 stars for taste and quality.

The Lomito sandwich with spicy chimichurri is absolutely delicious! It never disappoints and is always made fresh and cooked perfectly. I must mention that the location may appear a bit rough, with boarded-up windows, but don't let that deter you. Inside, you'll find a small market stocked with Colombian, Peruvian, and Argentinian imported foods, as well as a cozy restaurant.

The BEST empanadas! Can't go wrong with the milanesa or chivito sandwiches either. This little market has a lot of Goya products sodas including Malta, which makes my Boricua father in law happy. Great little place to pick up lunch if you're in the area and want something different. It's hidden behind the Walgreens on the northeast corner of Bristol and 17th.
