First time here!!! This place is an absolute GEM!! Expectation blown away. The service was great, the young lady recommended the lunch special, which comes with 2 empanadas, 1 side, sauce and a drink for only 15. The food was so fresh and flavorful. Id recommend this place to my worst enemy if I had one. Don’t over think it go give this place a try NOW!!!! !!Side note!! This place is TAKE OUT ONLY

Loved the samosa empanada with the chutney the best and my husband loved the Argentinean beef empanada. Can't wait to go back and try the rice bowls. The horchata was awesome!

The quality was so high and the prices so reasonable that were they to double their prices tomorrow, it would not stop me from going again and again. The service was friendly and extremely pleasant. The food was served fast and efficiently, warm and fresh. Try this eatery once and you may get hooked! It’s not easy to find words to sufficiently express my supreme satisfaction.

This place truly is the best kept secret in Carol Stream! Honestly, do yourself a favor and try their empanadas. The pork belly empanada is, without a doubt, one of the most incredible things I’ve ever tasted. And the blackberry sauce for dipping? It’s the perfect finish that takes it to another level. If you're debating what to have for dinner....you should probably get Savory Crust!

Was searching for something close to the hotel and this came up and it was quite the find. I had the Filipino based Adobo rice bowl and the guava and cream cheese empanada. They were both excellent. I would imagine this is a great place for locals and it looks like they have a food truck. Was really happy to find this gem. There was a picnic table outside where I ate my lunch. But definitely a takeout delivery place.

Yummy! There is a variety of flavors for everyone, vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. I purchased the Chicken Curry, Spinach and Feta, and the Apple Pie (special). For the sauces, I tried Sriracha Aioli and Spicy Chimichurri. Spinach and Feta was my favorite with both sauces. Apple pie was delicious too, I hope they keep it as a permanent menu item. If interested, you can purchase frozen empanadas and larger containers of the sauces and sides.

Delicious. Hubby found this gem first week it was open. Had the large thanksgiving special and it was enough to feed an army. Ok a small army. But the pork belly and the chicken curry were tops, the chicken pot pie, pica dill o, Parmesan chicken, Philly cheese steak, Argentina beef, spinach feta were very tasty also. The desserts and churros we’re nice finisher. Everything reheats well too. We well be back. Update: the sweet potato dessert is the bomb. Apple pie, guava, o yeah! Ube frozen bake at home excellent. Wish there were a few more dozen options for the desserts. Everything is delish!

When you go to this place, your eyebrows will raise. It is in an office space. Probably to save money. But boy will your eyebrows also raise when you taste this place! I had three empanadas because I was hungry. They are 6 bucks each at the moment, they are about the size of 3/4 of your hand. They were absolutely delicious. I had the Argentinian beef, the chicken curry, and the Padilla beef (or whatever it's called lol) The Argentinian beef was like chunks of steak and it had some great seasoning and other stuff in it. This was the best one I think. The chicken curry was also amazing, and the other one wasn't as good because it wasn't as salty. Each one came with a sauce, they have recommended sauces and they were absolutely incredible. Believe the hype. The crust is nice and flaky, the insides have tons of flavor. The sauces added a really nice touch that worked really well with these things. We got our food instantly and the people working there were very nice and friendly.
