They have great empanadas here (chicken, beef, or cheese). Their prices for almost everything are pretty high in my opinion, but their empanadas (all 3 types) are only $2.50 and taste really good, especially with the green sauce. They have bakery items like full cakes, slices, cake pops and typical breakfast menu platters with eggs. I typically come here around 11:30am and see that there is an adequate amount of seating which means you probably don't have to worry about ordering food and needing to take it to go. However, it's worth mentioning that I do often see people sitting around without eating/drinking anything so it's certainly possible that it might be pretty busy during breakfast hours. Nevertheless, this is one of my go-to quick breakfast spots because I can just order 2 empanadas and head out within seconds.
