“ After learning about this place on tv, I had to check it out since I love empanadas. I had 5 flavors. They were all great. We ordered Humita the vegan flavor but unfortunately they didn't have it at the time. The staff suggested Caprese instead and it turned out pretty good and it's my favorite today. I'll be back when I crave for empanadas. The staffs were very friendly and nice. It's a small place but very clean and I love the atmosphere. ”
“ Brava empanadas are the best ever! I never write reviews, but these are too good not to share. The dessert empanadas are my favorite. I even eat them cold for breakfast in the morning and they’re still so delicious. If you haven’t tried them yet do yourself a favor and stock up on Sundays (because they are closed Monday & Tuesday). You won’t regret it. ”
“ Delicious and great service! A little guide was included to help us figure out which one was which. A great value for price, each empanada was stuffed full. We’ll be back again soon! ”
“ I cannot express how much I love this place, I work in Northville so I am always trying to pickup some empanadas on my way home. Every flavor I have tried has been phenomenal, even the dessert ones, but the Chicken Portuguese is top tier. The team that works there are the friendliest people. I ordered the Trio Parrillero along with some empanadas so I could try making a dish with the Morcilla, and one of the ladies called me after I left to make sure I knew that it was frozen because she was concerned. Overall, great people, great food. ”
“ We've driven by this place a bunch and glad we were able to get in to finally try them. They are delicious. Got a couple beef, a chicken and a pulled pork and potato. The chimi and spicy mayo are a must as well. We'll be going g back again soon. ”
“ Was looking for some food to bring to a potluck in the area and found this place while just perusing Google Maps. This is a hole in the wall place that ONLY makes Empanadas, but man, if you try it out, you'll understand why they're rated so highly! Easily some of the best Empanadas I've ever had in my life. The service I received by the young man working the whole restaurant was friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. Being as this is their brick and mortar establishment outside of a Food Truck they run the sitting space is extremely limited. They have several different options for ranging from Beef and Chicken to several Vegetarian options. However, I don't think there were any Vegan options available, so keep that in mind. I will 100% be returning to this place if I'm in the area. The food is so good and fairly priced as well I think. I want to try all of their flavors eventually. ”
“ Excellent. Had a selection of 14 empanadas. (12 plus 2 free) Beautiful flavors, you can taste the finesse in each empanada. Refreshing Chimichurri sauce. Special note are for the mushroom/ cheese and pulled pork potato empanadas. Empanadas pair well with a nice Pinot Gris or an even full body Cabernet. Bravo! 10/10. We will definitely have this again. ”
“ Chicken and pork ones are so flavorful and delicious. We tried them all but those 2 are ones I could eat a lot of. It takes a while so order ahead if you can. ”
