This place needs to be hyped. Perfect dough, perfect filling(s) in quantity and flavor, fair prices, great servicr, clean premises. We tried the guava & cheese, classic chicken, classic beef and margharita, a side of their red spicy sauce. Absolutely no complaints. Great place for a snack breakfast/lunch/dinner. They have new monthly flavors of empanadas.

Delicious, good service clean and nice atmosphere. I would go back again too good not to. The cilantro sauce is a must have with a chicken empanada. Broccoli soup and chicken soup are delicious.

You can always count on a good bite (or more). Quality does not change. Spinach empanadas are the best and the meat ones too. Great soup!

This was our first time here, customer service was great. We had two empanada combos. We had a spinach empanada to my liking I’d pass on that one, we had a Chicken empanada it was good, beef empanada it was good, and a corn Empanada, which was the best out of those. We had a BLT Panini it was really good. We had a cheesecake it tasted more like cheesecake. Mousse, we had pandebono it was really good and we had a Mediterranean salad, which was amazingly great! Overall, I’d recommend this place!

Let me start by saying that i didn't know this little hole in the wall as we newyorkers would call. Gonzos did not disappoint us we had 2 empanadas, each with chicken vegetable soup and drinks. Definitely a quick meal spot where you can get them baked or fried. Customer service was excellent. i will definitely recommend and definitely revisit. A wide selection of Empanadas to choose from.
