"This Redwood City cafe from the maker of beloved handmade empanadas feels like a homecoming—the owner’s parents ran a grocery in the same place—and serves savory and sweet empanadas, sandwiches and churros." - Justine Jones
"El Sur, known for serving Argentinan-style empanadas, has closed its cafe at 300 De Haro Street in Potrero Hill." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Roaming empanada operation El Sur found its permanent home in Potrero Hill a few years back, quickly gaining a following for additions like breakfast empanadas: the tartiflette, with bacon, onion, potato, cheese, and egg; and the verdura, with braised greens, onion, potato, goat cheese, and egg. Owner Marianne Despres has since added medialunas, basically a smaller, Argentine cousin to the croissant, and dulce de leche churros. Fans can also order a box of 24 frozen empanadas for free home delivery, to always have one on hand." - Daisy Barringer, Eater Staff
"A mini-chain known for handheld pastries and empanadas that will supply pastries to the new speakeasy inside the hotel; the brand also operates a location at the hotel's Wicker Park sibling." - Ashok Selvam
"I noticed that Potrero Hill empanada hub El Sur has a new wine list highlighting bottles from Argentina, designed with help from Sam Bogue of Ne Timeas; wines are available by the glass starting at $6 or by the bottle." - Janelle Bitker
