Cozy spot with good vibes and tasty food. As the picture might show I ate that BLT super quick and enjoyed it. Empanadas I tried prior were also very good and looking forward to trying a new menu item each time!

Best empanadas in Toronto. Dough/filling ratio is perfect. So tasty and fairly priced. Cheese empanada is a must. Totally coming back!

My Girlfriend and I came to eat here and the food was amazing. My girlfriend even said how the Napolitana tasted like back home when her grandma would make it. The people there are so friendly and the service was amazing. I would definitely recommend it if you want authentic Argentinian food. They should be given their flowers of how good the food was. Definitely coming again.

Just stopped by for some churros. 2 dollars each with a nice caramel-like filling. About the side of a large pickle. Very pleasant Argentinian atmosphere. They also have a nice stereo playing music, but nothing noteworthy as it's currently christmas so they had their Spanish holiday mix playing . The staff are very friendly and speak both english and spanish.

My husband is from Argentina and we were craving authentic Argentinian asado, there’s not many Argentinian restaurants in the area so when we saw this on google we knew we had to try it. My husband used to come here a few years back but didn’t recall them serving asado. Anyway the food and service was excellent! This is one of the only place that serves mollejas which is our absolute fave! The asado and chimichurri was just like how my late father in law made it delicious and authentic. My husband said the Carlitos sandwich was just like how his tio used to make it when he was little. And lastly the facturas and the churros was amazing. We will definitely be back here!

Excellent Cafe. The coffee is quite good. They have some delicious empanadas and tasty pastries . Friendly and good service.

They didn't have iced coffee on their menu but they were very kind and made one for me. Also I've only had empanadas 2x in my life before having one here but I can easily say this was the best empanada and I now like empanadas The atmosphere of the cafe is welcoming and bright and so is everyone that works here! Also the espresso is amazing! I highly recommend stopping by for a coffee and bite!

Came in to eat dinner with my boyfriend and we both really enjoyed it!! Really good Argentinian food!! I love the atmosphere of the place. The music was amazing as well since I’m Argentinian myself. Will definitely be back, this place deserves more recognition.
