Empanada lunch special is delicious. Comes with 2 empanadas of your choice (beef, spinach and ham & cheese) and the house salad. The mint lemonade is a deliciously refreshing way to wash it all down!

Housed in a small, old, neighborhood corner bar (complete with the old LADIES ENTRANCE sign), this place serves excellent, authentic Argentine fare, coffee and ice cream.UpvoteDownvote

"Best coffee in Philly. Don't miss their cold brew or their lemongrass iced tea."

"Man, so good. Vibes off the charts. Great wine list. Loved the cheeseburger but also the rigatoni alla pepperoni tastes like a kids frozen pizza in the best way."
