Really like these empanadas. And they have real yerba mate!!! The lady is also very nice 💕
So difficult to find a parking space, the place is very small the empanadas are a little dry I recommend to buy frozen is more easy the eat there is very small place
Amazing location, shop, and feel (right next to public park for a picnic) Instant confidence when you hear Catalina's beautiful Venezuelan accent welcome you in her shop. Your mind rests as you settle into choosing your option to eat; supported again by Catalina - explaining anything from what's on the menu to the ignorant tourist question (such as myself) "you have the one with spinach and cheese?" Catalina smiled and explained that was actually Swiss chard, not spinach. AND THEN CHANGED THE SUBJECT. She didn't grandstand or dive into a back story lecture, just helped me find what I wanted and started making it while she continued the most wonderful, calm and humorous conversation. It's very hard to find any business owner that isn't looking to use their company for a quick dollar or greater corporate sellout/souless goal. The passion and attention to detail is present in every aspect - this isn't just a food shop/business to Catalina....this is her baby, and she treats everyone the same as her business. She simply can not contain her passion and joy for what she does, and it comes through in the amazing taste of her food she makes Highly recommend for anyone with any tastes for food
