The incredible empanadas at this mini Mexican chain are chunky (each one is tennis ball-sized), flaky, and there are over 20 filling options. Grab one for the road or make a meal out of a few while sitting on a colorful retro barstool. Some of our favorite pastry pockets are the chicken mole full of tender meat covered in a sweet and smoky mole, and the birria loaded with juicy goat and cheese. Prefer tortillas over pastry dough? Their tacos and burritos are equally tasty, too.
