Excellent empanadas. We are semi local but visiting San Clemente. Been coming each day picking a different flavor. Hot and excellent. We will definitely head this way regularly.

I cannot speak for other countries, but 'real' Argentines DO NOT dip their empanadas. Argentines do not dip; empanadas are not McNuggets. Argentines do not put BBQ sauce on their asado because Argentines believe empandas and meat ought to stand on the merits of preparation and not need sauces to supplement or substitute taste. For that matter, Argentines don't 'flavor' their coffee because good coffee requires no silly flavorings.
Argentines also do not feel that new types of empanadas must appear constantly just because 'new and improved' is good for the economy. If new flavors of water, fifty combinations of orange juice and gimmicky hamburgers are capitalistic necessities, this explains why Argentina is always in a financial crisis.
Argentines have been eating their empanadas the same way for 200 years, and the best analogy is in how Californians respect and admire In-N-Out Burger, which is good as it is and does not require obsessive novelty in their menu to justify executive salaries or keep at bay the dread of failing to maximize revenues.
Met the new owner, doesnt seem to know anything about business or treating people the right way. The empanadas are dry and way too expensive. Used to be better with the original owner. Stay away from this place
