One of my favorite spots in downtown Toronto! The prices are affordable, and the food has a comforting, homemade taste. I ordered the chicken and beef empanadas along with a Chilean salad, and everything was delicious.

The flavours are so good, very smooth. Had chicken and beef empanadas and they were equally delicious.

The menu was available for take out only when we visited. Since my friend was vegetarian, we decided on the vegetable empanada and humita. Both were too light on flavor. Despite being made of ground corn, the humita did not taste enough of the star ingredient (if I'm being generous, some of that could be because I'm used to the flavorful sweetness of Jersey corn, a characteristic that wasn't present in this item). The empanada was hefty and the dough was tasty, but the filling, made mostly of spinach leaves and sliced mushrooms) left a lot to be desired. The spinach inside released quite a bit of liquid that quickly made the dough soggy. Both the leaves and the mushrooms could've used more cooking and seasoning before being wrapped in dough and baked. The vinegary tomato salsa served on the side helped to brighten up the empanada just a little. I'd come back to try the beef empanada since I imagine that one would be richer in flavor.

Good spot in Kensington market, especially if you're looking to do a food-run. Extremely filling empanada: definitely worth the money! Beef empanada is a must-try.

I went here in 2019, but my old account got deleted since it was affiliated with a university email address (and I graduated). Nonetheless, I suggested this spot to a coworker who went to Toronto in 2022, and she loved it. So, I know the food is still good.

It was referred to me by a friend from Chile and it did not disappoint. I picked the chicken empanada and 2 of the 3 desserts to take home. The empanada was 1/2 lb and filled with lots of meat and 1 black olive and 1/2 hard boiled egg. Very tasty and filling. Desert was fabulous and gave the other to my friend. Will return very soon to try different dishes. Prices were great!

The $7 beef empanada was definitely jumbo sized! The dough was great! It had a crisp outside and soft inside, which we liked. The contents were just ok. It could've used more flavour, and there was only one chunk of boiled egg and olive each, and I prefer smaller pieces that are more dispersed. We also wanted to try the cheese empanada, but they ran out since it was near closing time.

Really wanted to LOVE this, but the cheese empanadas were just alright for us. Definitely tasty (the crust was good), but was expecting more flavour in the cheese. We also ordered the veggie empanada which was alright - the spinach and mushrooms inside could’ve used more flavour. Otherwise, very friendly staff and cozy decor!
