"UPDATE per owner?s response: Your shocking recriminating response causes me to reduce my rating to one star. 1. Read my review again. It?s flavors that need to be incorporated NOT the sauce itself. 2. From at least two visits, they?re okay but I repeat,I find the empanadas missing a distinctive taste. I am not convinced what makes it Argentinian. Although good, they arenon-discrete flavors. To be frank, they taste more like Cornish pasty than South American empanadas I?ve ever tasted. 3.

Herbs and spices (and other additions like eggs onionschives) make the difference. Here, the meat empanadas (chicken, lamb and beef) are good snacks. The dough is crisp and"
