Delicious empanadas! We had the mushroom and cheese also the black olive and cheese. Both were delicious! These were the largest empanadas I have ever seen.

Highly recommend the fried mushroom and cheese empanadas!

Fried are more expensive but massive. It's an old and known place in Valparaiso. Great for an empanada (only thing served). It's not a milestone of cleanness but it's OK. You won't regret it.

Delicious empanadas! These were so good we ended up going back for a second time. The first time we dined in and even though our Spanish is very limited the waitress was very helpful and patient with us. The 2nd time we got a carry out and d when the waitress spotted us she came over and helped us order again. Great empanadas and customer service!
