“ Incredible. Gabby is amazing. I have zero complaints. I love to hang and/or work here. All of the empanadas are absolutely amazing, but I love the arabe the most. I also recommend trying the traditional mate— you can even get all you can drink! ”
“ If you want a drink, the iced mate is delicious. If you want loose mate to brew at home, they have a wide selection, and it's cheaper than Amazon. Either way, it's a win. And the owner is helpful and kind. Highly recommend. ”
“ My go-to for fresh mate and DELICIOUS empanadas! The owner, Gabi, is very friendly and has great energy. If you've never tried mate, I definitely reccomend trying it instead of your daily coffee/energy drink fix. ”
“ If you’re suspicious that this store averages a perfect 5 stars with roughly 250 ratings, you’ll understand why after you try this place out! The staff and owner are all amazing and beyond friendly! Definitely try the empanadas! I tried the spinach and cheese and the ham and cheese, both were delicious and a great price! The main attraction are the mates, ice or hot with a dozen different fruit or milk combinations to be added. Mango iced mate with a little added sugar made my day ”
“ I've been going to this place for years! Gabriela's super cool and friendly, and she doesn't hesitate to make you try new stuffs! The food is just off the hook, grab a couple of empanadas and some pastries for some sweet treats. Add a traditional mate to feel like a true Argentinian! ”
“ Awesome place! The people there are very friendly and super knowledgeable about matte. 5 for unlimited shareable matte?! We loved it so much that we bought our own supplies to do it at home! We’ve been here twice now and it’s always pretty crowded. Everyone else loves it just as much as we do! ”
“ Gaby is a wonderful host. Her Mate, hot or cold, flavored or amargo , and pastries are on point. The local is beautifully decorated and inviting. You immediately feel at home here thanks to Gaby. It is my go to when I need a little reminder of Argentina. A true hidden gem in the San Fernando Valley. ”
“ I love this place! They serve delicious mate drinks, both hot and cold, plain or mixed with a variety of fruit concentrates they make themselves. This is also a great place to enjoy a variety of empanadas (regular and vegan), Argentinian pastries (facturas) and many other treats. It’s a good place to hang out, work on your laptop or meet with friends. The atmosphere is cozy and the owner, Gaby, is so friendly and warm. Go and check it out! ”
