These empanadas are so freaking good, one of the best single things I ate in San Francisco. Elevated take on the humble empanada using quality ingredients.

I loved the variety of filling choices. I started with the Espinacas with spinach, smoky bacon, and parmesean cheese, which was a savory delight. Next, I had the La Maradona, which tasted like the best pizza hot pocket you could imagine, with fresh basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes.

The empanadas are decent but it feels like something is missing with the seasoning.
