I came to Montreal not knowing I would travel in time to my childhood in Venezuela. Empanadas are just perfect: thin & crunchy, flavourful, delicious stuffing, perfect size, best empanadas in Canada!! Also the guasacaca sauce, omg!!! Not only it is DELICIOUS but it reminded me of my home, my family, when we used to get together on weekends to make'parrilladas' (bbq)! Congratulations guys, you are doing great!!

Très bon service. La bouffe est écoeurante! Serveurs très agréables & gentils. Ils ont fait une erreur avec notre commande & ils ont tout réglé rapidement. Breuvages gratuits & 25% d'escompte pour soulager le petit inconvénient.
