This establishment is amazing, wonderful service. They always are smiling and treat each customer like family. The food is amazing and fresh, pastries are to die for and baked on site daily. I highly recommend stopping in. Very few tables but they accommodate (it's a small store front setting). We grab and go. Oh and the Chicken and cheese empanadas are so Yumm!!!
