| - Since Del Sur on The Queensway closed down, I've been trying to find another local empanada spot as my colleagues and I rotate bringing treats in to work. I found Super Baker on Yelp and, since I was just next door at the LCBO, thought I'd pop in and try it.
They offer only two varieties of empanadas - pork and chicken for $1.75 each, CASH ONLY. I ordered one of each but, unfortunately, they ran out of pork so I ended up getting two chicken. The crust was a little sweet but very flaky. The filing (ground chicken) had a lot of flavour with a tad bit of spice but, to my disappointment, the potatoes dominated the chicken.
Honestly, I would have given it five stars because it really was tasty, the store itself seemed spotless and it was reasonably priced. The cons were obviously the lack of meat and the woman behind the counter could have really made an effort to be more welcoming, especially since no other customers were in the store. She wasn't discourteous but she lacked that pleasantness that most of the business owners out this way possess. Strange because every Filipino person I've ever met has been really nice. Anyway, I'll likely go back and try the pork with my fingers crossed that it will have more meat.
