Wow, I think I'll just pack up my things and move into the House of Empanadas. Who knew the best empanadas in the city would come from a takeout spot and in a (beautifully laid out and labelled) cardboard box?
Had a box of 12 empanadas delivered and they came nice and warm. Got beef, chicken, spinach, nutella, apple, and a wacky cheese-bacon-prune flavour. I'm not exaggerating when I say there wasn't a miss in the bunch. The empanadas were golden brown, properly flaky, and super buttery. They were all generously stuffed with tasty fillings. If I had to rank, I guess for the sweet ones, I preferred the apple to the nutella. And for the savoury ones, hmmm, this is tough. I guess it'd be cheese-bacon-prunes, beef, chicken, then spinach. But again, I really loved all of them.
The aioli sauce that came with was also really good - super smoky and went well with all the savoury empanadas. Added an alfajores to cap it all off and I liked that as well - powdery, chewy and just on the right side of sweet.
As you can see, I'm a huge fan of House of Empanadas and will be taking permanent residence in it from now on.
