“ I was looking for a great baked empanada. This place made everything to order rather than just reheating empanadas. The bacon egg and cheese and cuban empanada were amazing. I have a few more I saved to eat later. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”

“ Loved everything about this place. I had the pleasure of meeting the owners and learning the history of the flavors and details for each menu item. Love that they have captured a little of all the latin flavors and some America favorites too. I had the spinach and the mojo pork which both were amazing. I then enjoyed the sweet empanada (guava) and totally want more. Looking forward to tasting additional flavors the menu is reasonably priced and has many flavors to enjoy a new treat each day of the week or month. Customer service was amazing and made me feel like part of the family... I think I found a new love... ”

“ 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. ”

- Yari D. -

“ Bought a dozen! 2 ham and cheese, 2 bbq pulled pork, 2 spinach, 2 bacon cheeseburger, 2 beef, and 2 Cuban sandwich empanadas. They were all the best empanadas I’ve ever had! You can tell they make each one with love… this has officially become my Empanadas spot! Will be back soon! I would recommend all flavors, but for sure you cannot go wrong with the classic beef or even ham and cheese. Wish nothing but the best to this establishment ”
