I found this place on Yelp after looking for a quick bite. When I got there, I quickly realized the pictures on Yelp made them look bigger than they actually are and I would need to eat quite a few to satisfy the hunger I had. Although I ended up eating elsewhere, I noticed that inside was clean and had lots of seating for dining in.I came back the following day on my way to the airport. The man at the counter was extremely friendly and helped me decide what to get. I ended up trying the spicy beef and the lamb. Both were so yummy! As a spicy food lover, the spicy beef was actually spicy and both were bursting with flavor. I wish I got more and tried other options but I will most definitely be returning next time I'm in the area.

On day 1 of our Houston trip, we were craving a bite to eat and wanted empanadas but upon arrival we saw that these weren't the regular sized empanadas we were used to and weren't going to satisfy our hunger. Nonetheless the restaurant was clean and dim, and due to its reviews, we decided we'd return before we had to fly back home. Before heading to the airport we stopped by and the server was very helpful. He helped us navigate through the menu. I opted for the spicy beef empanada, spicy Texas brisket, lamb, and spicy chicken. All a 10/10, so flavorful, easily one of the best empanadas I've ever had. The spicy empanadas were also actually spicy, I was really impressed. The next time I'm in Houston, it is a must that I come back here.

Great place for a snack! The service is great too, they are polite and professional. It's a very chill and laid back place with delicious empanadas and yummy coffee You'll definitely be getting more than one empanada! Parking wise you'll be sure to find a spot!

Such perfect little pockets of flavor! Came across this small restaurant while staying across the street at a hotel. Restaurant was cute and minimal, reminiscent of a pastry-esque cafe. The person at the counter was super kind and did a great job of recommending something based on my taste. Service was overall fast considering I came with a party of four and we all ordered different flavors. Had the pleasure of trying the lamb, pork, chicken, spicy chicken, and brisket. All of the empanadas were super flavorful with the right amount of flakiness of crust. The accompanying chimichurri sauce was also a great addition especially the spicy version.

Great Argentinian joint in Austin, Texas! The empanadas are delicious. The choripans are so flavorful with a chimichurri sauce! And it will go well with some Argentinian wine once they get their license!

Empanadas were good I preferred the spicy beef. I also tried the guava empanada but was not impressed, guava is one of my favorite fruits. The service was subpar, employees don't really engage my order was wrong but the manager took care of it so I did appreciate them making it right. Would I return? It's not on the top of my list.

Run here. For an authentic empanada with homemade bread and homemade filling this is the place to go. The service is amazing. The food is great. It's a beautiful cafe to sit and socialize with friends or just hang out by yourself. Now, I don't know what the running cost is for an empanada but for the size seems pricey but in line with the area the shop is in. That's my only hang up but I don't hold it against them because... I've already been back twice before telling you!

My first thought when visiting this place was where is Jersey Mike's, and the second thing that came to mind is how do they survive selling only $3 and $4 empanadas? The answer is that they must do quite a bit of catering. A sign at the restaurant indicates they have over 35 different flavors of empanadas, but I didn't see nearly that many on their menu.I ordered 3 empanadas during a recent around lunchtime, the ground beef, ground lamb, and brisket. They have no fountain drinks or iced tea, only bottled drinks, so I grabbed a lemonade. I really dislike restaurants that sell bottles only. It makes it very inconvenient for dine in customers, especially those that like refills. However, restaurants are getting cheaper these days and slowly phasing out soda fountains and refills. The empanadas are served, when dining in, on a small chopping block with no plate. They also come with a small tub of chimichurri.I liked all of the empanadas that are made constantly throughout the day but finished off in the oven when you order them. The beef tasted pretty standard, the lamb is slightly more gamey, of course, and the brisket tastes somewhat similar to a miniature chopped beef sandwich. Is this Franklin's BBQ brisket, no, but they're not trying to be. The menu indicates they do use prime beef, though.Overall, a slightly different lunch experience than I was looking for, but if the food is pretty good, then I don't mind.
