Had a craving for empanadas after watching the Netflix street food episode on Latin America. Discovered a local Argentinian place in the back of a liquor store that makes probably a dozen different flavors. I called ahead for pickup and the sweet auntie working here baked them all to order for me and packed them with love, even labeling the outside of the pizza box with the names of the empanadas. You could see in her smile under her mask these are her labors of love and she is so proud of her work. The boys couldn't wait to eat them while we drove home! I ordered 7 but should have ordered more--we devoured them in about 15 minutes. Delicioso! Chimmichuri and salsa Criollo were on point as well. Got to practice my Spanish. We will definitely come back, and order so much more!
