The menu is loved for its authentic Argentinian flavors, from beef empanadas to humita, spinach, and cheeseburger varieties, plus milanesa sandwiches and notable desserts like alfajores, all offered at very reasonable prices. Takeout and dine-in experiences are described as convenient and satisfying, portions are generous, and the accompanying chimichurri and salsa elevate the meals.

LOVE! Amazing empanadas. We took 6 different flavors & all were fantastic. Flavorful & balanced. Caprese empanada was a fun surprise. Easily one of my favorites. 100% recommend.

Anita, es de esas emprendoras latinas que debemos apoyar. Tiene su venta de empanadas argentinas con una variedad de rellenos únicos y originales. Todo dentro de un local cálido, donde la decoración incluye a su gentilicio y la atención personal se hace presente desde que llegas. No he probado el mate, pero los churros son obligatorios!

Best place in grand Montreal área for argentinian empanadas. The capresse one was my fav. There are a lot of vegetarian/vegan options. The alfajores are the best dessert after all the salty delicious taste of empanadas. Great discover for delicious Southamerican food.
Good selection including vegetarian options. Empanadas are tasty & carefully prepared. You can pick different flavours, therefore it's a fun way to share & taste their menu. Not a lot of seats but they made do with the space they have. I would suggest ordering in advance if you are thinking of takeout. Nice option on the south shore for a light bite.
I love these empanadas.. i order about every 2 weeks, keep them in the freezer for a delicious lunch. They are consistently good, never had a bad experience with any flavor. I love that they also have some vegan options.
One of the best places to eat in Montreal by far. The empanadas are incredibly good, & the pastries they serve with the "mate" are amazing. Excellent service/attention, the lady is always smiling & the place makes you feel like home. Every time we go we stay there for hours talking after we are done with our food, definitely an amazing option to start your weekends 👏
