First time here It was recommended. I ordered 2 gluten free beef empanadas and 3 chicken and a regular chicken. The beef were actually beans I didn't see any beef and tasted only beans so no beef. I also didn't notice that one chicken was missing, but I had walked a long way and didn't go back to correct order. I ate what I received (though I'm not a bean person) and they were good. The chicken I had pickup for someone else... I will revisit when I'm in the area again. Coming from Brooklyn is a long way👀 and will check the order before walking away.. its a curb side spot so you order from a window.

We love this place. We placed our order and Jacky said it would be about 15 minutes. Within 7 minutes they call our name, we take our bag and leave. Now we are on the LIE during rush time and I start looking through the bag. I came across the receipt and it said Online Order. I saw that there were gluten-free empanadas, I turned to my fiance and said this is not our order. I immediately called the Cafe and they knew there was a mix-up. They said that there were 2 people with the same name. We went back and they gave us the correct order. I told Jacky that we ate 2 empanadas and she said don't worry about it. Jacky was very accommodating. Their selection is very different. You must try the Banana and Nutella Empanada. So, so good.
