    Empanadas are delicious as well as the steak sandwich. Seating is only reserved for folks that order food from the stall only. Ask if you are ordering snacks from other stalls.

    I’ve been here three times in the last two weeks. Really good food and a nice deal for 2 empanadas + a beer for £8.50

    Approximately authentic empanadas! The one with provolone and onion is to die for. Nice dulce de leche desserts as well

    The Borough Market location is the best. Get the traditional beef to snack on while roaming around the market.

    Empanadas were quite average here. Chicken, meat, and ham&cheese all average. Provolone and caramelized onions stands out but still not exquisite.

    Las mejores empanadillas argentinas que he probado en mi vida. Me dicen que es por la masa, la hacen ellos.
