Lucky find for my first lunch ever in Albany! They have various delicious empanada doughs: wheat, corn, plantain, and yucca based. Some are gluten free. They also have vegetarian and vegan options. I am an omnivore but really liked both the cheese filled plantain crust and the vegan lentil and mushroom option. If I lived here, I would be a regular! Staff was great friendly and efficient, and prices were very reasonable.
Everything tasted freshly made, but the plantain empanadas were particularly crispy and delicious.
I don’t know NY liquor laws, but I believe that they have a near and wine license.
