Definitely THE BEST OSJ baked empanadas we have ever had. Flaky and tender crust – awesome filings – terrific hot sauce! Check out this little hole-in-the-wall shop! You can thank me later.

I enjoyed the very good baked empanadas and chai latte. They offer various options for breakfast, sandwiches, or wraps.
Good for take-out and enjoy in any local parks or open spaces. Beers and drinks are also available.
Good service, Mr. Alfredo!!

The best place in Old San Juan. The empanadas have a ton of filling. The crust is delicious and it doesn’t fall apart. I was lucky to get mine hot out of the oven. The hubby got a huge beef sandwich that he talked about all week long. This place deserves to have a line around the block. I hope you try it!
