Excellent array of flavors, both salty and sweet. The empanadas have the perfect amount of filling with great seasoning. I've had the guava and cheese before and this time I tried the shrimp one. Definitely recommend both.

Luckily while visiting the area I stopped in to try these empanadas. Blew us away with the amount of options they had. My favorite was definitely guava and cream cheese. Cannot wait to return and try many more.

Amazing empanadas though on the pricey side. We also tried the sweet ones, Nutella and dulce de leche. They are big and well filled but they should be smaller for your sanity
