"Wonderful empanadas in the historic district of Cremona! The empanada fillings were creative, and flavorful. The empanadas were cooked perfectly, flaky not doughy. Much better than the empanadas in Arizona. The shop was cute and clean, and the owner and employee were delightful! We highly recommend this place and will return next time we’re in Cremona."

"Empanadas buonissime, tante farciture diverse, anche vegetariane, tutte ottime. Abbiamo cenato e fatto scorta per domani. Il locale è piccolo ma molto pulito e la proprietaria è stata super gentile. Non siamo di Cremona ma ripasseremo sicuramente. Le empanadas costano 3,5€, ma il prezzo unitario diminuisce acquistando 6 o 12 pezzi. Consigliatissimo!"

"Questo locale argentino propone empanadas davvero buone, con un impasto leggero, croccante e piacevole da mangiare. I ripieni sono vari e ben preparati: spinaci, zucca, mais con besciamella (humita), carne di manzo piccante, pollo, tonno e altri ancora. Ho assaggiato quella al manzo piccante, alla zucca con salsiccia e la humita: tutte saporite, con un ripieno consistente e di qualità, non il solito miscuglio industriale. Ogni empanada costa 3,50 euro. Con tre empanadas, un bicchiere di vino argentino e acqua ho speso circa 16 euro, un prezzo corretto per la qualità offerta. Il locale è accogliente, con alcuni posti a sedere e un’atmosfera semplice ma curata. Si possono anche acquistare prodotti tipici argentini come mate e dulce de leche. La ragazza al banco è stata gentile e il servizio rapido. Nel complesso, un posto piacevole per un pasto veloce e di buona qualità."

"Locale speciale per la qualità e l'ambiente. Un modo interessante di entrare in uno spaccato di un paese affascinante. Le empanadas sono le migliori mangiate in Italia. Più leggere delle concorrenti, sempre fresche e con ripieni sia classici sia più contemperanei. È il primo posto in nord Italia dove ho potuto scambiare informazioni sul mate e dove ne viene proposto il "rito". Al centro dell' esperienza oltre alla qualità degli snack argentini c'è il desiderio di condivisione."

"Abbiamo scoperto per caso che le empanadas sono arrivate a Cremona durante una passeggiata in centro. La nostra bambina di 5 anni ci ha chiesto di assaggiarle, siamo entrati e abbiamo trovato una ragazza al banco molto gentile ed accogliente. Mentre ci siamo bevuti un ottimo cappuccino e caffè la bimba si è letteralmente divorata una classica. Attratti dal meraviglioso profumo e dall’entusiasmo di nostra figlia abbiamo decise di portarci a casa un assaggio di 6. La pasta è veramente buona e leggera, i ripieni tutti diversi,con gusti ben definiti e saporiti. Ci torneremo sicuramente."
