@eater

"This South Bay joint serves a large selection of empanadas that can satisfy both sweet and savory cravings. The family-owned empanaderia uses recipes from the owner’s Mexican grandmother and prioritizes warm customer service. Flavors range from the “OG” made with marinated steak and quesabirria to churro cheesecake and newer additions like peaches and cream. Aguas frescas are offered daily, including the Agua Deluxe with either mango or watermelon served in a tajín-rimmed cup with a tamarindo stick." - Roxana Becerril, Candice Woo
