"I’ve ordered from here a few times. The first experience was great! The passion fruit juice is the best most natural tasting juice I’ve ever had! However, the empanadas i got last time had more breading than anything.They were super greasy, and the cheese was a lil overcooked…They are a good size though."

"Great and Fresh food.. amazing customer service.. to the people complaining about them not speaking or understanding English YOU’RE IGNORANT! Empanadas are fresh and tasty for the price, juices are fresh and tasty. I’ve yet to try the smoothies and sandwiches but this place is amazing, people love to complain but 10/10 would recommend."

"Compared to my previous times going here (before rebranding and new staff) it was pretty solid. The young man at the registered is pretty polite with a neutral personality. We did tell them to make a fresh empanada based on the reviews we've seen and it was pretty good! Cooked through, fully filled with melted cheese. The lime juice was also good with a hint of mint which added another layer of refreshment to it. Overall I'll rate my experience a 4/5 Only reason is because there was not soap or paper towels in the bathroom. Other than that, I hope they continue to improve in the quality of their foods and customer service. The place has potential if the administration and staff choose to see and value it."
