Best Spinach and Cheese empanadas with the BEST ChimiChurri sauce with the perfect level of ki kick! I could drink it! And great selection of drinks 10/10 My only Venice beach spot! Best beach food item!

Hands down one of the best spots on the Venice Boardwalk. The empanadas are always fresh, packed with flavor, and made with real care. Rosie and Rico are some of the friendliest people you’ll meet they genuinely care about their customers and it shows in both the food and the experience. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Venice, this place is a must try. I keep coming back and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend!

Taste amazing and like no other. Gotta have it when you come to Venice Beach. Words can't describe you just gotta have it! Meat and veggie options as well.

I had been enjoying Venice Beach boardwalk for 3 days and each day had a coffee from somewhere else on the strip. Rico's coffee is the only one I would recommend. It was perfectly balanced, slightly acidic without any burn flavor. I had an iced mocha and it was just a touch of sweetness plenty of chocolate flavor with the coffee flavor still prominent. Decided I also wanted a snack and had a beef empanada with sauce. Perfectly crisp on the outside soft and flavorful on the inside. A definite hit of spicy heat but it didnt build and the sauce added great acid. It was a perfect snack and drink t
