Really good attention to service and the chicken empanadas were delicious! I’m definitely coming back to try the beef empanadas this weekend.

i had the lomito sandwich and the alfajores. and it was funny that the manager thought that they took too long, so she gave me a free drink, i told her i didn't feel like i did, but she insisted. very attentive. and then the food was outstandingly delicious!!! amazing spot, for people that would like something new and different.

So happy to have found a slice of home here in Houston. Amazingly good miga sandwiches and really good beef empanadas. The dough and flavors were spot on. Super yummy. Staff is friendly and they have small selection of Yerba Mates and other snacks.

Went looking for a bombilla, they were out but the pastries and food selection was pretty great. The dining seats were limited but the place felt very welcoming and authentic.
