I got their mango cheesecake empanada, and it was nice and warm when it was given to me. The empanada had a sugar glaze and was filled with mango puree and cream cheese. It was surprisingly not too sweet.

Love the empanadas! We got the adobo, longganisa, embutido, and kaldereta. Everything is fire! Wish kaldereta had more meat. Great experience overall! :)
