Amazing authentic food made fresh. I'm not really a guacamole person but this place makes me a fan of theirs! I recommend the platter for those that may not be sure what they wish to try, you'll definitely want to return and try more of everything...if there were more stars I'd add them as well!

The food is delicious and the staff is friendly! I had the chicken, mac and cheese, Nutella and banana empanadas along with yucca fries. Everything was very tasty and freshly made. The cilantro dipping sauce went very well with the savory empanadas!

It's Saturday I decided to treat myself today. Started with a massage, got the hair done, now I'm hungry. I see Empanada Nada. I keep hearing so much about this place. Ok let me try it out..mind you I don't like eating out because everybody food isn't good.. anyways, I order the arroz con Pollo with fries dinner. [yeah I know weird combo] in my opinion I did not like it. The rice was highly flavored in cilantro the peas was crunchy the chicken had no flavor or color and dry. The best part of the meal was the steak fries..sorry Empanada Nada that meal was an epic fail for me..
