I found the spicy beef empanada to have a lot of flavor from the spices, but it didn't pack much heat. On the Scoville scale, I’d say it’s on the milder side. I enjoyed alternating between the beef and the cheese empanadas; the combination of spiced meat and creamy ricotta was excellent. I chose the fried option, and the pastry was crispy without being greasy. I'm curious to try the baked version as well. I also paid an extra 50 cents for chimichurri, and it was worth it. It really enhanced the flavors. However, my favorite part had to be the fries. If you’re not a fan of garlic, steer clear of these, as they are coated in a garlic, herb, and oil mixture. Personally, I loved them—they were incredibly garlicky without being bitter, hot, crispy, and savory. I even added some of the garlic topping to a few bites of my empanada, and with the chimichurri, it made for the perfect bite. I will definitely be returning to eat here again.

Simon's Steaks is undoubtedly the highlight if you're a fan of steak and incredible cactus cut fries. Honestly, the Gaucho sandwich is the best steak sandwich I've ever tasted!

Initially, I thought it was a steakhouse located outside the Galeria, but it turned out to be a kiosk. The menu was limited, especially since we love rice. On the positive side, the staff were very pleasant.
