Yummy food! Good for a quick bite of something a little different. Clean facility & kid friendly.

Having been to Argentina more than once, these are truly authentic Argentinian empanadas. Chicken and ham & cheese are my personal favorites.Great chimichurri. Staff is always personable and friendly (Jack, Karina)

Great food, excellent for small kids. As a parent of a 2yo and a 4yo, this place is perfect for me. That is not to say that it is not also good for adults. Personally, the pork chimichurri was a cut above the rest. And I know this is not totally relevant, but the ice cream place next door is a legit one-two punch.

Food is phenomenal but expensive for portion. How does it take 40 minutes to get 4 empanadas to go when you're the only one in the store the entire time? Slow service...

Interesting place. Great service, friendly. I did beef, chicken and sweet corn versions. I’d go back. Tasty food with quick delivery to my table.

I've ordered Makus Empanadas a few times when catering lunches and dinners, and they are fantastic. Their empanadas are delicious, and their service is top-notch. If you need to cater for a crowd, these guys are tops! Responsive, arrives early, sets up everything, provides all the plates, utensils, and napkins you'll need. Seriously - great delivery! Great catering! Thank you for good food and being great backup when a gal needs to cater to a crowd. When out doing errands and running around, we've also popped into their restaurant located on Hwy 54, and we love the food and the experience. I love that you have a number of different options with the empanadas, without it being an overwhelming number of options. Their combo lunch/special is the perfect thing to hit the spot.

Not bad, but definitely nothing like unnamed food trucks or homemade. I will say, the chimichurri sauce was addicting. I really could've used a whole cup on each empanada. The staff was really friendly and jovial and the food came out quickly, which I really appreciated. Also, pretty inexpensive. I'd go back.

First time order through grubhub. Well-rounded lunch with phenomenal flavour! I got the Spinach, Pork Chim., Onion Cheese meal with spinach salad, chipa, beans & rice. The chipa bread is delectably smooth with a variety of spices. Chimichurri sauce - i now need to learn how to make that, looks simple, but oh so good. Sure, when you order some of everything on the menu it can be expensive, but your tummy will thank you :)
