I found it on google map so I have to try it. I can say the empanadas in Costa Rica are made of corn dough and ground cheese in the pasta plus the filling and that's what I dreamed they would be, but not the empanadas are made of wheat flour but everything is fine because they are delicious, beff and cheese and guaba na !!! tasty coffee! very good attention! Excellent cleanliness and general order. I recommend them!

I tried the beef cheese empanadas and the spinach artichoke. Very good! Hot, fresh, crispy, and nicely filled. Can’t wait to try the other empanadas! The chef salad was good but on the saltier side. The prices were also very reasonable!
