Excellent empanadas. The only thing was we went when it was packed about 11:30 am and it was over an hour before our food came. By then the crowd had gone and a couple that entered had their lunch in minutes. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Such an amazing place to come have lunch in! I used to come every weekend with my family because their shrimp empanadas are the best in town! After that you can go a dip into the water which I totally recommend.

The fish here is so fresh and delicious. I highly recommend Mollo de Ajo under fish. It's delicious if you like flavorful and good acid on your fish. Delicious ...
