I was trying to settle who has the best empanadas in town and it was down to this place and El Almacen.
This place is a pretty neat shop in Kensington serving up Chilean empanadas where El Almacen serves up Argentinian ones. When you go in there is a menu on the left side and you can see racks of empanadas! They're about 3 times larger than El Alamacen's empanadas. I ordered a beef one and of course a cheese empanada.
The cheese empanada is awesome. The skin is golden and crispy and the cheese inside is solid. It's a small empanada and not like their beef empanada. It's about 1/3 the size of the beef one.
I cut into the beef empanada and had a forkful. The inside is DELICIOUS and filled with beef, eggs and some raisins! I really liked it. I tried cutting into more of the crust a bit and as much as I liked the crust it was definitely thick and made it slightly dry in certain areas. As much as I like the empanada I have to say that prefer El Almacen. I also had it about 30 minutes previous to coming here so that I had a good taste in my mouth for comparison.
Does anyone know if they make the meat filled empanadas with the cheese empanada pastry?
