FINALLY! My dad was from Chile so I grew up eating Chilean empanadas. Since his passing over two years ago, I have been on the hunt for the most authentic empanadas and this place absolutely nailed it!
The dough is just like my dad's and the beef filling is the most authentic I have tasted, and I have tried just about everywhere. This place is small, just a few tables. Service is friendly and fast. Great lunch deal for $6 and some change...empanada of your choice and a soup or salad. Very filling, totally hits the spot.
It's a block or two off of St. Laurent, a little off the beaten path but definitely worth the small detour. This place is a real gem. I just wanted to hug the huge glass front storage fridge filled with empanadas. Sigh...so yummy.
