Oh, so you've had empanadas before you say?
Yeah well, not like this. This location has a fairly large market and carne section as well as a deli section where you can order sandwiches the most delicous Argentinian empanadas in SoCal hands down.
First off this location is a little off putting. With awkward parking. But I live very close to this spot so I put up with it and care no never mind about this anymore. Don't let anything steer you away from your goal. The Empanadas.
Call in ahead to get a dozen or more ready. They take a few minutes to heat up and get them ready for eating immediately.
So far I've had all the flavors they make a few dozen times.
My fav. Is the Beef for savory and sweet is Apple when it's made since Apple isn't made very often. I get sad when it's not avail. But when it's there I order a dozen of the Apple alone. Take them home and heat them up a little add some Vanilla ice cream and bam an awesome dessert for parties or just your self ;)
****Important***** Do Not Forget The Chimichurri. This is ideal for enjoying these wonderful empanadas and kicking them up a notch when your ready for that added acidity.
The Spicy beef and Spicy chicken have a tendency to be really spicy most of the time. So if you are not used to spicy food. Skip them and get the plain Chicken and Beef.
Spinach is nice and creamy. Not irony tasting and really sets the mood for the meat flavors in between them. I eat a beef, have a spinach and then chicken and vice versa to break the monotony of just meat.
How I do it. I call it in. A dozen mixed empanadas. I ask for Apple, if they have it I order a dozen of those as well. The Empanadas hold up very well in the fridge if you don't eat them all right away. So don't worry.
On to the market section. Lots of Latin American goods including an array of Latin sodas. Very nice touch.
I like to get the Peruvian cancha and fry them up at home (Peruvian popcorn) also the Amarillo pastes or other sauces and pickles to make your own meals at home. Pretty epic and very nicely priced. No ripoff here.
Well, I can keep writing longer but you get the point.
Give it a try, support a local place. You won't be dissapointed.
Enjoy and Stay Wild Y'all!
