I've been here a few times now and just top notch all around! We've tried just about all their flavors and you really can't go wrong. Though the classic beef is my favorite. Last two times we were there we met the owner Jim (the gentleman in the far left of the picture of the display window), and his young son Max who served us - this is a lovely family business and they were friendly and welcoming. So much so the warm atmosphere spilled over to those of us customers who started chatting with each other. Love me a good small business engaged in excellence! parking nearby is hit or miss depending on the day (or if a woosox game is on) but totally worth it! TLDR: empanadas are fresh & delicious, owners are awesome, spend your money here.

Holy smokes!!! I love this place. I would say one of the most tastiest empanadas I've had. This is an Argentinian version of the empanada and so delicious, be careful they're extremely hot temperature wise. Wonderful spices and the spicy sauce takes it to another level. What a Little jem in Worcester. I love supporting local businesses and especially when it tastes this good, it's easy! It's quick to stop in and get some. Plenty of parking is a plus! I had 2 empanadas and and a drink for around $12 bucks

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten fresh in the vehicle. I ordered six different empanadas and every one delivered in a big way. The flavors were excellent, spicy when necessary not spicy other tones. The mixture of the flavor just left me completely sated and pleased to have found this place. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 9.3.

These beautiful little pockets of wonderfulness pack so much flavor and goodness! All of them were wonderful, but the spicy chicken and the chorizo - to die for! I'll be back again and again. Plus I absolutely loved the personalized box and "Made With Love", they most certainly were! Love!!

We stopped here for a quick bite on our way to running camp, and it was a delightful experience. The staff was incredibly accommodating, going the extra mile to label each empanada for us. It was our first time trying sweet empanadas, and they were so good that my daughter insisted we stop again on our way back to New Hampshire! The empanadas were filled with fresh, tasty meats, and though the style was different from my sister-in-law's Costa Rican empanadas, they were equally delicious. The only downside was the lack of an available bathroom, but overall, we had a great experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick and delicious meal!

If you’re looking for an amazing empanada, then this is the spot for you. I swear this is one of the best empanadas I’ve ever eaten. It’s warm, and savory, and full of flavor. Get the chicken and thank me later. I could have eaten 50000 of these in one sitting.

Went to the newly opened, (July 8, 2023), Che!, on Lincoln St. Fabulous! Tasty, super staff, beautiful presentation, and tasty empanadas. The empanadas were filled nicely. Different dough then I've experienced before, but beautifully hand made and so delicious!! I'll gladly return.
