    Javi's is a hidden gem. Stop what you're doing and go there immediately!! The empanadas and chimichuri sauce are the best and to top it off Carolina is a sweetheart!!! I had such a great time eating and enjoying my yummy food, having a beer and an iced coffee. I got a chance to meet Javi too and he was so cool and kind. I could.hear the passion in his voice, he loves what he does and he even hooked me up with a delicious housemade Argentinian cookie that I highly recommend you also get. I'll be back soon!

    Excited to see the Empanadas Argentinas sign as we were driving by so I had to check it out. I was served by Javi himself ~ very charming :). Tried the empanada champiñones con salsita chimichurri pequeña ($1 for the sauce). Contrary to complaints noted, it only took five minutes or so to heat up (I expect to wait for proper oven heating!) -- and yes, mine was perfectly hot hot all the way through (very important!). I was hoping for more robust spiciness and perhaps sauciness of the mushroom-onion-cheese filling, but it was clearly fresh and nicely made. The baked dough is beautiful...perhaps just the tiniest bit underdone in the thickest part, but the exterior is beautiful, flaky, golden, and the edge is an extra yummy bit of bread after the fact (think edge crust on a pizza, the after-meal). The chimichurri is most impressive due to its TON of minced fresh herbs -- I'm seeing rosemary right off the bat, just a beautiful herb mixture. I'd love a stronger heat and lemon kick, but I'm an over-the-top flavor person. Still, the empanada y salsita are impressively beautiful to look at and feel healthful, real home cooking. I wish your business continued success, Javi and team!
