So happy to have an Empanada Shop local! Stopped in during the soft opening the staff was friendly the selection was terrific!

Nestled in the heart of the community, this restaurant has garnered diverse opinions since its ownership change. While some patrons rave about the delicious, generously filled empanadas and friendly service, others express deep disappointment over poor customer service and lack of compassion, particularly during sensitive times. Complaints about catering mishaps and unreturned calls have left some feeling neglected. However, the establishment's Turkish and Mediterranean offerings, including fresh hummus and succulent kebabs, are warmly received by many. Overall, this restaurant appears to be a culinary adventure for some, while others may find it falls short of expectations.
